good dogs. here's a staffy pupper

Are they easy trained ?

Get a nice doggo instead

kind to the owner

They are good guys if you exercise them regularly and train them well. I'd had 2 staffs, one was badly trained (by the last owner) and left a mark on my brother's arm. My current staff was trained by my dad and is great.

They are great dogs if you know what you're doing. If you little no experience in raising and training a dog don't get a staffy. They are hard headed and stubborn.

Nice big dick

the males can be lovely dogs if you don't raise them to be aggressive, but are quite headstrong and not that obedient. females are a little easier.

...

They are worse than getting a little kid. Loud, obnoxious, difficult to train, aggressive, demanding. Expect getting blisters on your hands when walking, and keep them away from people for the first year and half, maybe forever.

I honestly have no positive experience with thes dogs, 3 of my friends owns/owned one and they have more negative traits than positive ones.

Probably works if you need to look like a badass poser loser, need to protect your drugs or want one because they are somehow popular.

i have a staffordshire terrier. he is insanely goofy and is the sweetest dog i have ever had. he hasnt even accidentally bit someone when we wrestle with him. he's just a really big baby.

they can be wonderful dogs. we had a female for 14 years, from when she was a six weeks old until her death. was absolutely heartbroken when she died, because she was an incredibly faithful, loving dog.

my brother has a male and a female now. they're perfectly good natured, but are mischievous.

Are you high faggot?
Staffies are fantastic dogs.

i have a 5 year old staff/apbt mix i got from the shelter 6 months ago. great dog, very loving and playful, high energy.

on piece of advice, bite train him. obviously his last family didnt and mine wont drop anything without a squirt of water to the face.
also tries to work his way up toys towards fingers, that + strong jaws (he's 90 lbs) = a lot of marks on my fingers. ok for a 24 y/o bachelor, not ok for families, so train him

pic related: is my doggo

Make sure you socialize it with people early and often. Take it to an obedience school and/or teach it very well. People tend to be astonished when they realize that the big scary pitbull is a giant puppy. I get the same shit with my Dobie.

>loud
mine doesn't bark once in a given day
>difficult to train
3 or 4 when we got her, easily learned to sit/shake/lay down
>aggressive
sweet as a baby. some aggression toward other dogs but that's due primarily to poor socialization before we rescued her.
>demanding
no more than any other dog I've owned

Ask the lady who's arm got nearly chewed off.

Get lots of liability insurance.

Oh, wait. Right you spent it all of your dangerous dog and crack cocaine

I like how the guy says "a handful of bad owners, 20-30%"

If that were the case for gun owners having 20-30% bad ones, there would be ongoing wars in the streets of America

that's not a staffordshire terrier shit-for-brains

>oh wait, any dog that isn't a toy poodle is a "pit bull", and I guess all pit bulls are staffies

Top tier dog my friend. Dobies are the shit.

one time a lady in china fell into the top of an escalator and got crushed in the gears
>omg u stupid get insurance for your uberdangerousautostairs they dangerous

Here's mine

and when we lump stairs, escalators, elevators, scissor lifts, and ladders together under the same category, just look at how many accidents they cause!

Kind of like when people lump together APBTs, Stafforshire terriers, AmStaf, bull terrier, etc, mixes of these breeds, and any breeds that even look like these breeds as "pit bulls" and point to how much more dangerous this "breed" is compared to other dogs.

rescue?

forgot moving sidewalks, by extension sidewalks, roads, highways, byways, freeways, henways, aisles, floors, flat planes, straight lines and the points that comprise them. math and the ground are trying to destroy this country

Feed your dog more he's way too skinny

You absolute mongoloid, that is a Pit Bull.

These arnt mine. They where at a kennel I used to work at.

She was 19 kg, now she's 26!

staffies are pit bulls, but not all pit bulls are staffies. the one in the photos looks more apbt but mostly just looks like a backyard bully mix.

...

The black and white one was more staffy. The brown one was was more apbt. Here's a picture of what some nigger did to his ears.

I love her color. She's real pretty.

yeah deleted my post after looking at him a bit longer.

docking the ears is retarded as fuck. all niggers and white trash who mutilate their dogs should have their own ears chopped off so they look more "badass"

Staffies are lovely as long as, like every single other breed, you train them properly, treat them with love and socialise them with people and animals.

With ANY dog breed you want to start with taking a few obedience classes to teach them AND YOU the basics; this also helps to socialise them with other dogs. Socialise them around people, kids and animals of all kinds when they are young but most importantly love them. A dog isn't a simple pet like a fucking goldfish - they are loving animals who will consider you family so consider them your family too.
If you're not willing to risk your life for your dog then don't even fucking consider getting one because you better fucking believe they will risk their life for you.

>tfw you can take your dog to work and always check his behavior rather than blow cash on obedience classes

If you're that fucking poor don't get a dog dumbass.

who says I'm poor? obedience classes are for people who are
a) lazy
b) can't commit the time to train their dog themselves

let me guess, you've got two kids you see for 5 minutes in the morning before handing them off to the mexican nanny?

Don't bodyshame his dog you scumbag!

c) have never owned a dog before and need to learn how dogs themselves learn so you then know how to train them.

You need to know how to train a dog to train a dog. You can't just yell at them and expect them to understand like your mom does when you yell up from the basement for more hot pockets.

great then. if you can't understand the complicated mind of a dog and have never owned dogs before, by all means use a trainer. nothing wrong with it.

I have owned dogs, and have the time and knowledge to train my own pets. deal with it whiny faggot.

>by all means use a trainer. nothing wrong with it.
And that's exactly what i've been saying...fuck me kids these days just don't listen.

My advice is: don't be a cunt.

no, you've been saying you HAVE to use a trainer. you don't. you can train a fucking dog all by yourself.

>We need trainers to teach our dogs how to behave
>We need a nanny to raise our children for us
>We need chefs to cook our food for us
>We need mommy to tie our shoes for us
How could we EVER learn to do these things by ourselves?

A good trainer doesn't just train the dog. They have to train the owner on how to train the dog or else everything the trainer did won't work for very long.

Thats a dog.

>teach them AND YOU the basics
If you know the basics then you don't need to.
It's implied. Shit do i need to spell everything out for people?
>implication
>noun
>the conclusion that can be drawn from something, although it is not explicitly stated.

Next time i'll use one or two syllable (google if you don't know what that word means) words so you can actually understand it; k sweetheart?

I am not black or mexican. I am not white trash living in a trailer park.

So no, I don't have any experience with owning or dealing with pitbulls.

He'll die for ya

lol. ok bro, you do you. meanwhile I'll just chill with the two obedient dogs I've somehow magically been able to train myself.

Dog for chavs in the UK but same principle, it advertises you are lower class.

Get a dog so big and mean looking no one will come near you on the first place.
Pic related my Neoplaton mastiff laying next to a Great Dane.

...

Good idea. In the meantime retards asking about dogs on Sup Forums will continue to get advise to get professional training so we don't end up with user giving his dog up because he didn't know how to train it and it ran amok.

It's never bad advise to try and make dog ownership as idiotproof as possible because idiots are everywhere and pounds are already too fucking full of abandoned animals.

advice even, fuck me.

yeah, I don't disagree with that. so when I mentioned I am constantly around my dogs and keep their behavior in check, why did you spazz out with POORFAG CAN'T AFFORD TRAINING?

Got anymore. Great pic.

Love me some mastiffs
Heres my Dogue

That dog is loving life right there

kick it alot, and train with car tyres regularly

i also recommend chainsuits for strenght

>blow cash on obedience classes
They're really not that expensive nor time consuming.

nor necessary if you can train them yourself. get it? so If I pay for something that I can easily do myself, that's called "blowing cash."

Here's mine buddy, I got 5 of them over the years.
