Staffordshire Bull Terrier - The 'Real' Story

The SBT has been copping a bit of flack in the media, being targeted as dangerous and 'statisticaly' rating as one of the highest biters/attackers.

The trouble is, how are these statistics gathered? Who decides the difference between a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, An American Staffordshire Terrier, A Pit Bull, or any Cross Breeds for that matter?

A recent article reported that an SBT was the offender, when in actual fact the picture they used for an example of the breed was an AmStaff... this highlights precisely that the media are pretty slap happy when preparing their articles and don't research these cases completely. They are looking for BIG headlines, and a quick blame solution.. Unfortunately it is ultimately the dogs that end up suffering.

This video is not about shifting blame from one breed to the next, its about recognising that it is not the dog or the breed that are the problem, but the OWNERS. Afterall, who do the dogs learn from?

We need to 're-educate' the public, our families, and even the media. Its about promoting "Responsible Ownership" - choosing the 'right' dog for your lifestyle, being dedicated to providing training and guidance, and learning how to be a strong leader.

As you will see in the video, Staffordshire Bull Terriers are the most loving and kindest of breeds, they are a family dog, who need to be included, loved and treated with respect... give them this and they will be your friend for life...

Thank you to all at Bull Breeds Online & Petbizzo who generously donated pictures for this video, even if we can reach just a few people with our message, it will have been worth it.

Hi my mum said i might be aloud to get a dog but ive been wondering should i wait a few months and get a jack russell puppy or get a staffordshire bull terrier puppy in a week or so. Which breed would you said is more playful and loving or does it just depend on the dog? Thanks sooo much. great vid :)

I find it amazing that these beautiful beasts will still put up with we humans, and show us unconditional love, after what we have done to them! Brought a tear to my eye! Thank you for sharing this video.

ive got a 6month old staffy and he is the most loving and most playfullest dog i have ever owned, he loves anyone, and would lik them to death, so its like what everyone is saying its not the dog, its how people bring them up, because obviously not all staffy and or pittbulls are dangerous.... oh yeah awesome movie by the way
