pic?

I'd love to  but she's very protective of her image rights.

Notoriously litigious are cockapoos. 😉

We stopped the piano at grade 6, it was getting too much, what with the athletics championships, the debating society and in any case he's showing much more flair for the oboe.

Blacksmith?

His artistic flair is more directed through his watercolours at the moment

That's a pity. I was needing a new bolt for the back door.

I would be wary of encouraging this. Depending on the breed the dribbling can really ruin the work and make them feel a failure.

I might be able to help you.  I got a dog from the blacksmiths the other day.  Soon as I got him home.....

Once he's made the bolt ask him to make a spring for your balls.

I know a few people who have/had staffies & loved them. I just don’t like the look of them so that’s me out of the rescue equation!

Got my first Staffie for passing my o levels back in the mid 80s, family has had them ever since - we've not got one at the moment but would have no hesitation at all in getting another.

Amazingly tolerant, affectionate, loyal dogs, our last one watched over our kids as they grew up, let the kids use her as a step to look out of the window, guarded them from any threats. They can be absolutely superb.

For the chav side, don't leave the dog outside shops/in a car and visible as they are target to be stolen.

I used to have the local police car slow down and watch me and the dog when put for a walk, but it turns out he bred Staffies and was taking a look at the dog

For the whole risk thing, I've been bitten by dogs 3x, twice by collies, once by a spaniel. Almost licked to death multiple times by a Staffie

Staffies are lovely dogs with a big heart. Pretty smart too, and you have to be careful not to hurt their feelings, but physically tough. It's really a big dog with bonsai legs.

They are the world's greatest enthusiasts, loyal, and don't need an excuse to be happy.

Often it's not the case that they cause the trouble, but they certainly usually finish it.

Which is odd considering you can get them for a small charge (& legally) at many rescue centres.
