Our dogs are all individuals and shouldn’t be expected to be carbon copies of each other!

I love that bully breeds tend to be family oriented, but sadly some dogs like mine were not socialized properly and by the time they are rescued and adopted may not be comfortable with or understand children. My dog adores everyone over the age of 15 but has made it known she prefers not to interact with kids. Sometimes bully breed advocates make me feel like I own the spawn of the devil! But she’s really an amazing dog who had a rough start to life and is 1000% in control in public, can pass by families with a bunch of kids running past without batting an eyelash because she trusts me to manage the situation. I don’t have any kids in my life so she’s happy and everyone is safe! Not all great dogs are in love with kids!

But regardless of Ms. Desires’ internet posing, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier’s affinity for children and position as family dogs is part of the breed’s standard and THAT’S not going anywhere.

And in my opinion, should never have either. But this idea, was years, and years ago, that it started. Because, that is what my 81yr old father said to me, at one time. And my dad is no canine expert, and he doesn’t continually research stuff like this. This is what he heard as a child, and what he has been told. So, in my opinion, it started like an “old wives tale”, and there will always be those who will believe it, and those who know better. I am honestly tired of hearing about it. There are only so many times you can refute it, and some people will still believe it. We basically need to go a different route, and not mention it so much, or give it so much attention. And those of us who own pitties, just need to start teaching, by example, and helping others who are less fortunate, or educated on canine education. I seriously think, if we drop it, and redirect everything into proper supervision of children and dogs, it will eventually die down.

Hopefully most people realize it doesnt anymore. Trepanning was an often prescribed surgical procedure to remove evil spirits.
It is 2016. We should be educated enough by now to know the reality is dogs are NOT babysitters and nannies.

There is more than one dog claiming ‘nanny dog’ status. Peter Pan’s dog, Nana was the children’s nanny dog, too. She was a Newfoundland…http://nannydog.info/nanny-dog-breeds/newfoundland/ . Of course, adults shouldn’t leave children unsupervised with dogs, mostly because children do stupid things

Not because I don’t trust them, but because my grandson isn’t old enough to recognize the subtle signals a dog uses to tell us he is uncomfortable. My dogs deserve to feel safe and secure without being mishandled by a child.
