SBT - The 'Real' Story
Length: 5:50
Description: The SBT has been copping a bit of flack in the media, being targeted as dangerous and 'statisticaly' rating as one of the highest biters/attackers.
The trouble is, how are these statistics gathered? Who decides the difference between a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, An American Staffordshire Terrier, A Pit Bull, or any Cross Breeds for that matter?
A recent article reported that an SBT was the offender, when in actual fact the picture they used for an example of the breed was an AmStaff... this highlights precisely that the media are pretty slap happy when preparing their articles and don't research these cases completely. They are looking for BIG headlines, and a quick blame solution.. Unfortunately it is ultimately the dogs that end up suffering.
This video is not about shifting blame from one breed to the next, its about recognising that it is not the dog or the breed that are the problem, but the OWNERS. Afterall, who do the dogs learn from?
We need to 're-educate' the public, our families, and even the media. Its about promoting "Responsible Ownership" - choosing the 'right' dog for your lifestyle, being dedicated to providing training and guidance, and learning how to be a strong leader.
As you will see in the video, Staffordshire Bull Terriers are the most loving and kindest of breeds, they are a family dog, who need to be included, loved and treated with respect... give them this and they will be your friend for life...

I grew up among Staffies - males,females, young and old - the joy I have got from them is amazing. Never a cross word from them, even though, when young, I would have deserved it at times (kids can be rough). Absolutley wonderful creatures. My 2 year old loves her staffy sister!

I agree completely! The mistreatment of Staffies needs to stop. I have a beautiful Staffie called Holly who is the most loving dog I've ever come across :)

Staffies are SUCH Great lil dogs. Too many ppl associate them with Pits. Which, Pits can be good dogs too. Provided they are bred and raised well.
