Rescue dog choice?
Discussion
I would like a shot, but it's not me that is at home for most of the day. Mind you (hope she never sees this thread) she's bossy enough for a bully to be well behaved. I'm just glad I am allowed on the sofa.
I will ask the question in any case. Knowing us though, whatever gets fostered would get adopted.
Or is that the evil plan?

As a non Staff owner,I'd be asking why there's so many in rescue centres. I've got a Cairn, not the best of breeds with other terriers, and having seen him with Staffs, I know why. He's been attacked by a staff. Too many Staffies end up with the wrong owner. Don't get me wrong, I think that brought up right ,they're smashing dogs. But if not- then they will attack,and then ,faced with problems, it's easier to put them to rescue. I met too many Staffies ,that wonder why my little furball becomes a 12kg bundle of sheer aggression when he meets one. I've also seen him ,in a fit of nervous aggression nearly castrate one that attacked him . The breed has no problems. It's the owners, but how can you be certain . The question is why is the dog in rescue. Even my own pet breed, Cairn ,has it's problems. I've heard of places where they will only rescue dogs that have known history . All to often owners get a dog, don't know how to get the best out of it ,and give up, to put the dog into rescue, because it's become a problem dog.

There are a lot in rescue because sadly a lot are bought by idiots who then realise any dog is a lot of work or that they cant afford it and get rid. It doesnt neccesarily mean it has behavioural issues.
You do have a valid point but it applies to any dog in rescue, a lab that has behavioural issues can still cause a human or another dog a lot of damage if it decides to go for it
