I may be wrong but it seems that about 50% dog owners in my area have those staffie or staffie type dogs (sorry I cannot distinguish between them), looking aggressive, ugly (sorry) and always pulling the owner on the lead. I honestly don't understand why people choose to have these dogs. When I was growing up, people had cockerspaniels, labradors, daschunds, poodles, terriers etc. Is this a new fashion? Safety? Knife alternative?
I am sure they are friendly and trainable but if I hear a bad story of one dog mauling another dog, it is very often that type of dog.
I am just wondering why wouldn't people keep sweeter looking dogs instead.
Sorry I don't meant to offend any dog owners - I just would like to understand why?

Not to understand why anyone could choose to have those ugly looking dogs?
