Can I start by saying I'm very fond of staffies. But had an encounter with an owner today which made me want to hear doghouse staffie owners' views.
She said to me that several trainers had told her never to allow her staff to play with other dogs. She was adamant that this wasn't specific to her dog but to all staffs. Sounds absolute nonsense to me but should depend on the individual dog.
She spoke to me like I was an absolute idiot for not knowing this and I should therefore never let me dog approach an off lead staffie. I don't want to start avoid staffs - me and pooch like them.
Am annoyed as so called trainers giving a whole breed a bad name.
