Ok,.so you cant even use the park because of staffies then, which is just as ridiculous. never said I can't set foot in the park.

Its peoole like you quimming on about one of the nations favorite family pets that give them a bad name.
Yes some idiots own them but i've seen more dog attacks by american bull dogs and akitas. I dont not enter a park with my spaniel because there might be one there.

This place tend to know what they are talking about.

Interestingly they feel the need to vet the potential new owners of a Staffie more than the dog due to the propensity for scrotes to try and get their hands on one to make them look hard.

Staffies scare the st out of me, where we live they are really common and we don't even use the park that is 30 meters away from the house anymore due to their aggressive nature. just not worth the risk.
t out of me, where we live they are really common and we don't even use the park that is 30 meters away from the house anymore due to their aggressive nature. just not worth the risk.All the usual rubbish being spouted:
Staffies should be banned, they are responsible for almost all dog attacks....
A dog that is dog aggressive will attack a child next....
Back on topic. OP - as others have said, the police will generally only be interested if a human has been injured or 'threatened' by a dog. First port of call should be your Council Dog Warden.
I am sorry that your dog has been hurt; Staffies are not inherently bad dogs (I have owned two Staffy crosses along with many other dogs). Unfortunately, there are some people who shouldn't own any dog.

Staffies do seem to be disproportionately involved in news reports of problem dogs, but it's not the breed, it's the demographic of fkwits that they are currently saddled with being the favourite breed of. Irresponsibly bred and owned by idiots. I know nice people who have staffies and funnily enough they are nice dogs.
They've ruined the reputation of other breeds in the past, no doubt they will move on to something else eventually.

They are a 'status dog', which means horrible people own them and thus teach them the wrong behaviours. There's no issue with them if they have a good owner.
just like people different dogs of the same breed can have different personalities and reactions in different situations ,so it does pay for all dog owners to be mindful of this no matter the breed.i would personally like to see dog insurance become compulsory. vet bills are not cheap and in this situation the op would not have been left out of pocket.however, as another poster mentioned, i wish my vet bills this year had only been 200 quid !
five eye operations for my elder staffie since the turn of the year,worth every penny though.

How Staff aren't a banned breed is ridiculous. At least 90% of dog attacks on other dogs or children/adults involves a Staffie.
What an ignorant thing to say; by default all chavs, council estate scum and those without an education should be sterilised and banned form breeding.Its all about the upbringing not the person, such is the case with a dog.
A family friend had two mastiffs and my uncle a bull terrier, absolutely lively dogs because the owners spent the time and effort to properly train them.

You appear to suffer from a magnificent lack of knowledge in relation to this subject area. Perhaps some research is in order?BullyB said:

Thats absolute nonsense, far more attacks on dogs and people are by Jack Russells, Staffies by nature are the most docile affectionate litte dogs you could ever hope for, its bad owners not bad dogs.
this ^^I've lived in a house with a Staffie and if it had attacked me I'm not sure I could have fought it off. I took it out for walks and while it was ok with people it hated other dogs and given the chance it would have attacked them. No, it wasn't properly trained, but unless you can guarantee that an owner is going to train a dog like that is it really sensible to let people own animals that could clearly do substantial damage or even kill?

In a significant proportion of reported in a local paper dog attack cases I have seen a Staffie has been involved. There's a report in the local paper typically once a week of a dog attack and more often than not it's a Staffie.
Possibly the local paper doesn't report every time a family Labrador bites someone? But does when it's a Staffie?Look up the stats, you're a man who likes to argue scientific method on other topics, why ignore it here and instead rely on what the sensationalist local rag says in order to support your preconceived idea of what the facts are?

I lived in a house with a bloke. He was OK when on foot but in a car he was a liability. Is it really sensible to let people own a huge lump of metal that could do substantial damage or even kill?Edited by _dobbo_ on Monday 12th October 11:40
