My staffie is soft with people and dogs . I agree that dogs can show their inbred traits but to say every one of them will is utter bs. My dog is nearly 10, in that time he has been attacked while on the lead by a boxer , two labs , and a collie and he has never fought back . A dog is like many things , a product of its upbringing . A staffie or similar type is going through a bad press at the moment for reasons that are mainly image related but they are no more dangerous than any other fit , powerful dog .
Scunny, show him bundles of love , mine gets lots of cuddles and kisses everyday , and he will be a lovely fun dog for many years . Socialise him early and make one person his total boss , they normally bond with one person fully, you lucky bugger ;)
