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

I had a staffy most precious pet to us!!! One day he bit my daughters face i had him put to sleep. but before us he had a bad past. From pups these can be very loyal dogs and child friendly if the owner bring it up right. Beautiful breed!!!!

@TheWarloghe You are so ignorant, you take some facts and think thats what everybody is like! If you go on a SBT page on facebook, it says nothing about pitbulls, and yes i know there are people on social networking sites doing harmfull stuff with pitbulls but whose fault is that? the humans! not the dog..

When my daughter was ablut six, we had a ST. Bernard. She rode him like a horse! In the wintwer she would lay in the snow, and pretende that she was in trouble. "Fido (his real name), would run up to her and lay next to her and try to "reveive" her! Great dog, but it liked to eat the kitchen (wallpaper, trim, chairs, etc. As it was growing, he would sleep under our bed, and one 4AM The whole bed was lifting up awakened us. He grew too big was stuck! Miss him. "Blitz" our SBT was a sweet doll.

My daiughter has had many Pit bulls (various breeds), and they all were sweat dogs. She is a sweet person, and it depends on their genetics and how they are raised. Right now, she has a smoke grey pit bull that is scary looking with HUGE jaws. His name is Mack. I haven't heard him bark once and he is so laid back, it's incredible! If someone expresses disdain (such as critisizing hij for stealing and chewing up their shoes, he retreats to a corner with his head down, looks sad-guilty.Very loving
