Re: OK to bring Staffordshire Bull Terriers to Canada?
This can happen with any breed - also maybe she was giving off "vibes".
My last staff was an angel but suddey with 2 people he had always koved he became v agitated and wouldn't go near them, rran away and cowered if they went to him.
They both thwn fell ill and died within a week of cancer! Not at the same timw I should add!
You need to be sensible regarding any animal_ whilst I trusted my dogs I woold never leave them alone with mine or other peoplles kids. When out in public always leashed cos you don't know how kids etc will reactn run, scream, pokke ...
My current dobie ridge hound has been sewn up 3 times after being bitten by a collie a lassie type and a retriever!!! Each time thwy attacked him unprovoked as he. Was happily galumphing around tjhe park in the uk!

This was taken about 5 months ago. Now she's a big 90lb lump!!! Her name is Milly and she is the softest, sweetest pup I have ever known. Not so hot on the behavior front, she chews things if left unattended! But she'll grow out of it... hopefully!

Mind your manners, and back off, I have zero desire to continue this ping pong match with you! you seem to be as agressive as the breed is made out to be.

Either educate yourself or if you don't want to don't churn out the hype without. Checking your facts .

As stated by a previous poster - the bad press is more than enough for me, no need to check any further into things.

Re: OK to bring Staffordshire Bull Terriers to Canada?
think we should put this thread to bed, 
people will always have preconceived ideas when the press get hold of stories! To the original OP, bring your pet! He/she is part of your family and it makes moving to a new country much easier to handle. You will know by now that you will get negative reaction but I never found that in my neck of the woods, besides my dog was the "original" type and small and people did not seem to react badly to her, she was well liked in the neighbourhood!
