not many over here (n.ireland) would have loved one but got a mal instead as I prefer the look of them over the shorter haired husky.
Staffies are absolutely fantastic, it's just a real shame that chavs all want them which means they have a very unjustified stigma attached to them and rescue centres are full of them. I'd love a Staffie but my wife has said a definitive no to this breed (again with the stigma). They are just such a loyal and friendly breed.
Had a lifetime of english bull terriers 1 at a time til the 3rd one which we bred, kept 2 pups foolishly lol. When i left home and the three dogs i desperately wanted dog but worked shifts, used to take dog pup Henry to my flat on a weekend, then for a change took Rosie the mam, well she didn't want to go home so we ended up keeping her! We then had 1st child, rosie became her friend and protector she dragged her bed from the top of the stairs in the flat to outside Olivias bedroom! No entry for strangers. Rosie passed away at 11 we then bought golden retriever then 2 back to 1 now sadly, lovely dogs but love the bullies
Sorry to be tardy to the party on this one folks. Holidays and poor Internet. So here are my additions to the family. Mickey. Our 4 year old Cocker Spaniel. Bailey. Our 3 year old Cocker Spaniel. Tia. Our 8 year old British short hair blue.
She's certainly looking quite fat there Ken. But TBH. For a short hair she's got a hell of a lot of the stuff. Absolute bitch too. All on her terms or not at all. She gives my boys some right grief.
I used to have a big bruiser of a cat, Elwood. He was over a stone when up to fighting weight. An abject bloody coward but dogs would cross the street rather than pass him and he took down the mother in law's westie by doing the 'Alien' face hugger on it. He even once dragged a live seagull in though the cat flap by the wing. Dumb as a stump but a cat and a half, literally.
They don't come much crazier than my two Icarus. Mad as a box of frogs. Ken, the Alien face hugger, poor Mick falls for that one every time. Tia comes up, licks him being all nice, then as you so perfectly described, Bang! Both paws around the neck, Micks like WTF did I do?
