Got to agree with you. My older dog is half black lab and half American Staffordshire Terrier, aka American Pit Bull. He’s now ten and has been the world’s funniest, silliest, friendliest dog his whole life. The only problem delivery persons and contractors have with him is he wants to jump in their vehicles and go car riding with them.
Our greyhound would do that. She loved the UPS delivery van because it had no doors to keep her out.
Pure bred Staffies should not be lumped with pit bulls. Pits are crosses of various “bully” breeds. Way too many of them are carelessly bred for fighting and fierceness. I would not want one but a good Staffie is a wonderful dog. Too many people can’t identify breeds. We had to change home insurance because the stupid agent thought our Black Mouth Cur and uncropped Great Dane were pits.
