To be frightened by my friend’s new staffy cross?

A friend of mine has just rehomed a staffy, crossed with another large powerful breed. She has 3 children, age 9 and above. She doesn’t know the dogs background, as the rescue centre couldn’t be sure.

I think this is a terrible idea. I’m not against this dog being rehomed, but I really don’t think a rescue centre should be re homing dogs with this level of strength and power, with an unknown possibly traumatic history (as the dog was abandoned), to a family home.

My DH thinks I am unreasonable for feeling this way. I no longer want to visit my friend with my kids, as I’m frightened. AIBU?

Tell that to the families of the two 10 year olds killed by dogs in the uk within the last few years .

Write to your MP to expand banned breed list rather than on Mumsnet, eh?
