Woman scarred after dog attack in Hatfield (From St Albans & Harpenden Review)

If it was the size of a labrador, then chances was it WAS NOT a staffordshire bull terrier.

I really wish the media would stop hyping up how dangerous these dogs are as it simply isn't true.

Staffordshire Bull Terriers are THE best dog around young children and are even known as the nanny dog.

Just because of their muscular build and their similarity to banned breeds i.e the pitbull everyone tars these dogs as evil and it really annoys me.

I hope the police catch this person and their dog and swiftly put it to sleep as it will be one bad dog less giving our staffies a bad name.

A Staffordshire Bull Terrier you say? How can you tell it was crossed with a Pit Bull it was the size of a Labrador so it probably WAS a Pit Bull and yet again even Pit Bulls AREN'T bad dogs in the right hands. Just because it was muscular and has a broad head and brindle colour to the coat doesn't mean it is/was a Staffie. A typical Stafford is NOT human aggressive they were bred specifically NOT to be human aggressive. I really wish the media would get the full FACTS FIRST before bringing breed into the equation.

As already stated Staffordshire Bull Terriers are known as and ARE "The Nanny Dog" and are the BEST with children of ALL ages. Stop generalizing and stereotyping and get the full facts of the incident and the breed before commenting.
