They’re great dogs. I don’t get this at all.

Me too. I just lost mine - Maggie. Absolutely heartbroken. She was beautiful inside and out.

How much did you pay for yours? Im looking to get one but dont wanna get ripped off lol

@@weekndclan7599 I got mine from one of my mates so I payed at least £100

how is it going? i want to get one :')

Mine is crazy

mines the best to, don’t know why my staff had different ears theres are pointy, u can see in my pfp.

chessiii higgins if a dogs ears are pointy it’s because their owner cut them off. Common practice for dog fight-breeders :(

@@burdeo2313 that’s sad😔

@@burdeo2313 oh :( my poor lass got left out in the other 3 homes she was in but luckily my dads mate saved her but he didn’t have enough space so he asked if anyone wanted a staffy and my dad said yea she was only 100 odd quid best money spent

Uno Staffordshire bull terrier ti cambia la vita 😜

An Irish Red Setter, then a sheepdog, then a staff. My father had a sort of lurcher when I was very young but he lived at my grandparents as my parents had only been able to rent an attic room divided into two. Years later we moved to a ground floor flat with gardens but sadly Diddy had passed by then. My grandmother also had a quite large spaniel. Then later a miniature poodle (highly intelligent). My mother and stepfather had a curly haired largish dog which may have been a x with a poodle, and was very protective. A man reached into the van to grab my mum once when she opened it to get out. The dog leapt at him and chased him down the street until called back. Another time when very unusually they could not take her out with them (she went to their work with them and most other places) they had to leave her home. They returned a couple of hours later to find a downstairs window forced open but nothing missing. A policeman came just to make notes (they did so then) and remarked that they knew the colour of the burglar and pointed to a bit of denim and lump of black skin on the floor which my parents hadn't seen. After Suzie passed away my stepfather homed a large, lively lurcher who had been too much her owners to handle. On one occasion she saved my sheepdog when a Swan was about to attack her when she was swimming in a pond (nowhere near the Swan. It went quite a way toward her before we realised it was going to attack her). The lurcher, Becky, saw what was going on and quickly swum to chase the dangerous bird away and swim with my dog back to shore. Didn't try to hurt it but chased it away. Her demeanour alone was "you leave my friend alone!". Our neighbour had a cat that was as protective as any dog towards his kittens. He and my father's female cat mated and were more like husband and wife. One evening my father was standing out on the front path to exercise the little kittens but keep an eye on them. A full size poodle pushed the gate open and went to go for the kits. Their father was seen to leap two walls of about 3.5ft, like a steeplechase horse, and set about the dog which was huge in comparison. It ran out and it was so funny after that, every time its owner came past with it the dog would reach next doors gate then turn at a 45deg angle to the kerb, well away from our gate, walk past watching all the white, then once past our gate it would do another 45deg angle so it was walking alongside the front walls again. My father kept one of the kittens who became very loyal to me in particular even though my dad fed him. My husband and I lived there for a while and when I went to give birth and was away for a week, he waited outside the front for three days and nights. My dad had to take his food and water out as he would not go in for so long. Then when I stepped out of the car with a screaming bundle the poor boy ran off terrified, and refused to come in for another three days and nights. When he did he looked at me as if hurt and betrayed. My father's first female cat came camping with us, and in a rubber dinghy with an outboard motor. No lead. We just carried her and watched her all the time. The one time she went missing my father found her atop the frame tent watching us and most of the other champers searching for her. Lol. We were sure that her early life adventures were the reason she was ultra clever - for a moggy. Bad blood and mental illness seem to be much less readily inherited by at least domesticated animals. Imo 99% of the time their temperaments is due to handing. All they need is love and the basics. Same as a child really.

Your 100% right. Staffies are great dogs, and actually all dogs are good pets, it’s the way there raised.

Couldn't have said that any better 😊

I don't suppose you have ever had a breed like a labrador so your claims are totally invalid. I've seen Staffies and their behaviour, half the time the owners think they have some sort of authority on a lead when they walk them in public. No, don't give us the old "what a loving wonderful breed" crap, review the figures for dog attacks and see how many were Staffies.

I feel for you my guy

We had over ten years with our rescue staff what an absolutely great dog they are pegged as being quite silly but I am not sure of this eg wifey used to play fight.with me ,to begin with the dog would defend me and seem to get a bit mad ,then one day it reversed my wife was making a reasonable job of bashing me the dog really got between us and defended wifey lots of barking etc

@@davidshattock9522 i used to do kickboxing with my dad, when we would mess around with lunches and kicks at home, my staff didn't like it. It was (i belive) the only time she actually barked at us, to try to get us to stop fighting even though none of us were hurts

A dog won't protect something they don't know as well as something they do so outside dogs all well and good but

This is such a beautiful story! I bet she also thinks you and your family are the best thing to happen to her this year too ❤️

The dog adopted you?

@@shdhdhsj8311 yes. She showed up on my porch one night. Hasnt left since.

Thats so cool, you will have such a companion for life. I just lost my 16year old staffy to old age and it hurts so bad. One thing i would say to every staffy owners, cherish every day and make everyday special, because the time you have is not enough.♥️✌

They only need a couple of hours walking every day spread between three walks. They only have short legs and a heavy body.

Omigosh same thing happened to me was rold hes a American bullie @6 weeks...now hes 10 months n idc lol

Heartbreaking. I am genuinely sorry to read this as 19 years is such a long time. Almost two decades. He must have had wonderful genes and you must have done everything right for him to live to such an age. The eldest they usually reach is around 14 and not always until then. A vet told me between 8 and 10 years of age. I am sure he is still with you. I know mine is with me as are my earlier fur babies and I will be with them again. My former mother in law told me that when she was in bed at night she would feel the weight of hers Jumping up beside her and settling down even after she had another dog. I believed her. When we love a pet they are a huge part of our lives. We are all of their lives and when they are that loyal they would lay their lives down to protect us, and do so without thinking for a moment. How many people do we know who would do that without stopping to think? They see us as their reason for living and that is another reason to look after and love them as best we can.

Tell that to the kiddy who got her face bitten off by one..................

@@peterbaker3429 not sure why you are responding to my particular comment, but my dog didn't rip off any 'kiddies' face.

I’ve a staffy/black lab mix! Staffies are fab

I have a staffy and a staffy boxer cross so the best of both worlds ❤️

My girl was my reason to keep going too. Without her I was not in a good place. I need another but no one can replace my little baby girl

Same ere mate

WHAT BREED DID YOU ADOPT?

I have a Staffordshire bull terrier named bear

there best family dogs

How does she do at the dog park? Or with other dogs in general?

I have owned many dogs over the last 30 years wanna know how many times I have been bitten by any dog I owned? 0, infact it's not even something I have ever even needed to consider the possibility of happening.. but hey I don't own any pitbull type breeds. It's worrying to me that you have to even consider the possibility of your dog biting you as if it's even something that could happen.

Thanks so much for watching. So exciting you're bring a new pup into your home after such a long time, hope settling them in goes well!

Thanks so much for watching, really glad you enjoyed it!

Wow my thoughts go out to you 😭❤️❤️

So sorry to hear this Robert ❤️

Sorry to hear that. Just love on your staffie as much as you can and have no regrets.

Oh no we had one who had cancer 😔

Put your best friend on CBD oil, Turmeric and find someone who sells you PROTANDIM now. Please. Good luck, I hope everything works out and you don't lose it xx

Glad our video has been helpful! Good luck with settling your new staffies!

i wouldnt say one person only tbh.

How do they generalu cosy, cause in my city they are around 80 dollars and its kind sus to me that they are so cheap, how much did you pay for your dog, first i wanted to adpoted a dog but my city is very small and in the shelter there were no stafords or any bully breads wich suprised me because i thot that a big problem is that shelters are full of bully breads, i am apologizeing for bad english live in europ im a third wprld country.

@@aleksamosic7112 well theyre not pedigree staffs or pure breed as you lot say. apure breed in the uk will set you back around 2500 dollars

In YOUR opinion

@@rebecabt6152 Whatever....

Glad you enjoyed it!

God Bless you and Dillon. 🙏🇺🇸

@@doug9418 not religious or American but I appreciate it lol

I’m so sorry my condolences

You mean the ashes?

@@StikiFing4z yep He’s in a blue lil Erne

its not that they are bad for example i would love to get a french bulldog but they are to expensive and go through to many health problems

Did you watch the video? He clearly loves them, but they are not the perfect breed for each person, just as not all people are right for Staffies.

@@Mejoree113 Not all people should have any animal, nor a child.

How does she do at the dog park? Or with other dogs in general?

You're absolutely correct...

Great advice to flag!

This literally happened to me today 😤 they had a dog but picked there kid up and all Kira was doing was lying on the ground, and the kid wasn’t even scared

Absolutely. I admit I was one of those people who had picked up on the negative rep from media and none dog people who always slated the breed. I ended up with a 14 month old red one in 2009 and after being the person who would cross the road if saw one coming my way, I hated myself when the same thing happened to me though I understand it cos I did it in the past (to be honest maybe it was the person's on the other end of the lead I was avoiding?) it took me a few weeks to totally relax and flip my impressions of the breed. I'm happy to say that my dog is still here just shy of 14. He has Cushing's disease now but is still happy and the love of my life. I will always go for a staffie from now on. I hope to re home one as and when, and for the rest of my dog owning life. The best breed and such a personality. OK mine isn't bothered by other dogs and is happy in an aloof way in their company but it's humans he really wants to be around. Just be sure to socialise and to be thick skinned when you encounter un educated and judgmental people, and you will. Definitely worth putting up with these type of people. The best thing to get over it is to treat everyone as someone who is scared of dogs and then you won't be upset when someone is being judgemental toward you and your dog. You quickly learn it's OK.

@@lennycook206 when you mention the other person on the end of the lead that's a good point. Unfortunately staffys still used by (for want of a better word) chavs as a status symbol but hopefully the quality of breeding and the increase in cost will whittle that out soon. They're a lovely breed and as you say love human contact, ours is literally part of our family.

Absolutely!

Welcome Phil! Hope our channel proves to be helpful with your new pup!

Does he have fur?

It sounds like you have a beautiful doggo ❤️

Hey Lisa, thanks for watching and sharing your knowledge and experience!

Thanks for watching! Check out our video looking at why you should get a staffy too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7CbideIr6ezZ2w.html
