Agreed. Most of the tradies dogs up this way are ACD's & Kelpies.

What a crock of shit. How would you know whether it was a purebred or not. As soon as people like you get Staffords banned you will then move onto the next popular bull breed then the next then the next & eventually your breed will become the victimised breed attacked by people that wouldnt know their arse from their elbow. Cross breeds bred by BYB's & moron owners that arent fit to own any dog are the problem not this breed or that. Rotties went through the same thing when they were the trendy dog to own & now unfortunately its the Staffords turn.

Yes sometimes it is but very very very rarely. What i find laughable is the number of people that suddenly had Staffords (be it SBT''s or AST's) when the Pitbull became crucified publicly. As far as im concerned if you dont have papers to prove what the dog is i dont accept what you claim it to be. A cross breed is a cross breed! nothing else (regardless of what breeds may be involved) & the sooner people wake up to that fact the better.

Because people automatically assume that when there is a dog attack it would be the staffy side of the cross that is responsible for such attacks.....given that labradors were not bred originally as fighting dogs may have something to do with the negative public's perception of staffies. Ok then substitute Lab (that was just an example) with any breed you like & still its a Staffy cross??? People if you want a Stafford make the effort to buy a pedigree purebred Stafford otherwise its just a crossbreed!!! Once a Stafford or any other breed for that matter is crossed with something else it ceases to be a Stafford! Its not a Staffy! Its not a Staffordshire Terrier! Its not a Staffy cross!, ITS A CROSSBREED & THATS ALL IT IS!!!

Here we go again. Just for the benefit of the so called experts that report such things, there is no such breed as a Staffordshire Terrier. There is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, an American Staffordshire Terrier or a million & one crossbreeds referred to as Staffys??? which most certainly are NOT!. Answer me this... why is a crossbreed with supposed some Stafford in it always referred to as a Staffy/Staffordshire cross ? They are presumably crossed with some other breed, for example why is a Stafford cross Labrador referred to as a Staffy cross & not a Labrador cross ? Sorry for the Pom of course & the owners of whatever dog was off lead should be prosecuted to the maximum but sick to death of people that know absolutely nothing about dog breeds victimising my chosen breed. For the record i am also sick to death of these he-men wannabes that drive around in utes with poor dogs in the back, a huge number of dogs are injured this way & these wankers should be made to pay.

What a beautiful story. Nice to see some truth about the temperament of "bull breeds" for once.

What a great story, i loved reading about Conan. Congrats to him & his wonderful owner.

There are plenty of other forms of entertainment than watching what is becoming an endangered species made to do stupid tricks for your benefit.

More senseless animal cruelty , i have noticed a huge increase in these type of acts especially during each school holidays, what does this say about our society and our future

It seems every day we are confronted with another report of animal cruelty. Is it just me or is there more & more of this sick behaviour going on lately.

Rot in hell you vile piece of sh-t...

Shame the lion didnt finish the job.

Serves the idiot right. Animals of any sort should not be in a circus it's barbaric, so too is the use of animals in rodeos for those he-man redneck cowboy wannabes, not to mention those small penis morons that slaughter animals in bull fighting rings. It amazes me that these ancient barbaric rituals are still legal in the 21st century, surely there are other things people can do for entertainment than torturing wild animals, i guess some of us just havn't evolved much yet.

For those living in the Newcastle region, stay away from the pet shops at Charlestown Square & Westfield Kotara as they continue to sell puppies in shocking conditions in a shopping centre!, oh & the Kotara store is owned by the president of an outlaw motorcycle gang, nice people NOT!. Stick to the petbarn, petstock, type stores that do the right thing.

And who is going to do the background test on the scumbag pet shops selling the animals in the first place

Well done to the observant spotter, such great news.

Acceptable 20-30 years ago says who??? I don't know who's worse, the redneck with the firearm or the neanderthal with the gavel & wig??? What a f...ing disgrace.

BAN PETSHOP PUPPY SALES To start with then demand all unreg pups to be desexed simple Better you worry about meeting the demand than being over populated with pups QUAILTY not QUANTITY I agree wth you totally.

I honestly believed that the original insulting accusational posts by pootiful were a joke of some sort as no one could be possibly be so stupid... its scary there are people in the dog world so uneducated & the really scary thing is that these same uneducated inexperienced fools are actually breeding dogs & thinking that makes them some sort of expert. How sad...i guess you can never underestimate the absolute idiocy of some people.

Who's 'poodilfan'? Do you mean 'poodlefan' - who I don't think deserves the small-minded tag btw - or maybe 'poodiful1'?? Edited: "snap" pf :D personal attacks now, typical bully bahaviour What a surprise NOT!!!! BTW, dog aggressive or people aggressive, doesn't make any difference to me. I'm just sick of people running to defend the dogs whenever there's a dog attack. That was my point in the first place. BTW, my poodles have never bitten anyone, Also, I never said that all bull breeders are dickheads, I said the dickheads that own these types of dogs. The people that breed the dopgs have a responsbility to screen buyers properly and it's obviously not happening. Just like Poodle breeders have a responsibility to screen who or what breed they are constantly crossing their dogs with and its obviously not happening. Just look at all the whatever/oodles in all the pet shops. I think that says more than enough about the integrity of Poodle owners. Yes i know that is a generalised & inaccurate statement but it's just as stupid as the statements made by clowns such as poodiful.

Who's 'poodilfan'? Do you mean 'poodlefan' - who I don't think deserves the small-minded tag btw - or maybe 'poodiful1'?? Edited: "snap" pf Or maybe Poodlifan is a new hybrid poster? Yes maybe, they like crossing their breed with all sorts of stuff dont they?...labradoodle,spoodle,cavoodle,stupidoodle etc... Not nice when someone makes generalised statements about your chosen breed & its owners is it????

Do ya mean Poodiful1 or moi? Sorry my mistake, i meant poodiful or whatever he/she calls itself.

I refuse to get into an argument with such small minded people as poodilfan, so i will simply post this link up & say read & learn.... http://www.dogstardaily.com/training/breedism Oh & be sure to tell all the bull breed enthusiasts that they are all dickheads next time you attend an all breed show, i'd be interested to know their responses.

I too would be looking at nearby neighbours. What sort of a person has strychnine at hand?, we really do live in a sick sick world.

What can you possibly say about this type of scum. You have no right to life, I hope you suffer a slow painfull death soon.
