(Being an owner of one myself)I disagree on the inbreeding thou. I do not believe that it is due to bad bloodlines that makes a dog "snap", dogs always show a sign of irritation before they attack. A dog NEVER attacks for know reason. I agree that the amstaffs are great dogs. (Being an owner of one myself)I disagree on the inbreeding thou.

I was very cautious at first because I didn't know what attitude the staffordshire would have. Now, I have to say that the lab is actually more aggressive than the terrier. He is as laid back and calm as she is hyper. I have two small children and they adore him, and he adores them. I don't think people should just group ALL of the breed together. However, there are a lot of these dogs that have been inbred and I have seen them snap in an instant. I worry about the breeders that are doing this just to make a few bucks. These are the ones people need to be afraid of. I don't see why lawmakers can't make breeders get a special license to breed and monitor them instead of trying to ban a certain breed because of a few rotten apples. They could always take dogs that are unlicensed. We have just adopted two puppies from animal shelters- 1 is a lab mix and the other is a staffordshire terrier.
