It's a bit unfair on Staffies, but that's the way it is. It wouldn't surprise me if the pit bulls that crankarm saw were staffies - unless they really were huge in which case they were neither Staffie nor pit bulls.
Totaly, a staffie is just a dog, the same as a westie but just with diffrent clothes on. Sadly it's the people who tend to own them that are the issue, lets face it give these people any dog and it's going to be a dog with issue.
Every dog is freindly, it's what people that do to them that make the aggresive etc.
The two biggest reported breeds for biting in the UK are the Lab and the Westieand the most hospital visits due to dog bites is from Cocker Spaniel... however for fatal attacks it's the Rottie and staffie though there are very few bite cases reported.
There are very very limited Pit bulls still in the UK, most of them are Irish and brought over for fights. The few that are around would never be seen out in public, for a start the ones that are on the go cost a lot of cash and the fact the police catch you with one (so the genral pubilc don't have them, only scum of the earth dog fight organisers *spit*). Most people cross staffies with boxersor a mastiff to get a pit looking dog
Out of my 3 it's my Greyhound that would bite to kill, and this would never be human but cats and small white dogs are prey to her, hence why she doen't get off int he park (unless she is tied to the rottie then she ain't running after anything)
. At the end a serial scummie criminal allowed himself to be filmed on the streets with a new breed called a French Kruger. This was such a huge menacing dog in fact just a killing fighting machine it should have been in a zoo. Other crims/yobs walking along with their equally terrifying pitbulls caused this monster Kruger to start growling causing the approaching pit bulls and their owners to cross over to the other side of the street to avoid it
