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 anymore

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...

Thank you to all at Bull
Breeds Online & Petbizzo who
generously donated pictures
for this video, even if we can
reach just a few people with
our message, it will have been
worth it.
