| Re: Fighting dogs
My son has a cross Stafford, mother was Stafford, dad was a Rockie and Alsation Cross.
Its quite a big dog for a terrier (it has the jaw of a staff) and people often have asked us what breed it is. My son has trained it since 12 weeks old to behave. It answers to him, then me and then my mother who has since passed away. It is a very intelligent and loving dog. It showed slight signs of aggression when it was reaching doggy puberty to other dogs and it was not allowed of the lead and was muzzled in a park until it learnt, which it did!
I would never leave any dog what ever breed alone with a small child even the friendliest dogs can turn.
The trouble is the owners train these dogs to kill, and unfortunatly this means that those breeds are discrimanted against I just hope that the law changes to put the irresponsible owners behind bars as they are holding lethal weapons.
Our dog is a lovely intelligent dog but we worked hard to make sure he grew up that way and I think all dog owners have a responsibility to do this.
