I AGREE with Richard English about dog mess but I think all dogs should be on leads in public places.
I am a responsible dog owner and my dogs have been attacked not by Staffordshire bull terriers or any other ‘bull’ breed but by small dogs and larger ones and the one thing they had in common were irresponsible walkers in charge of them who let them off the lead.
I also know, regardless of breed,that some dogs like to fight with other dogs.
In my 49 years of being a Stafford, and other breeds owner, my dogs have never attacked another dog, so Mr English do not single out one breed for your remarks as in the not too distant past other breeds have been unfairly labelled as dangerous usually by ill-informed members of the public.
