Huan72 687 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Staffs are great dogs, clever as hell as you will find out Seen one who knew she was never gonna catch a crow before it flew off, so she would pretend not to be interested, walking right past him and at the last minute go for it. It was spooky, the sort of thing a person does, pretending not to be interested to get closer.......................still didn't catch it though 2 Quote Link to post

No worry there mate my 3 best workers live indoors How are they with the rest of the family ?Does it make them more aggressive ? Edited October 28, 2013 by Blind Hawk Quote Link to post
Westy76 546 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Why would they be aggressive? A properly socialised dog is just that regardless of breed. I've kept Staffords for nearly 20yrs and only 1 was dog aggressive I got him at a year old and was bred that way,all the others were well socialised from pups and I can take them anywhere. The top one is easily spannable Edited October 28, 2013 by Westy76 12 Quote Link to post

Stretch177 39 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have 2 working dogs, a terrier and beddy x whippet, both live indoors and are fantastic with the kids, other dogs etc. This soon changes once the ferreting gear comes out and they are in the boot of the car. They know when they are going to work and when they are home, change into totally different dogs. 1 Quote Link to post
