The first two my family owned we're Tucker and Annie. and they had 8 pups. One of them still with us today. The only time i've EVER seen any of them be aggressive was Tucker. I was at a golf and stuff and for no reason he started barking and growling at a group of black guys walking by. lol i couldnt help but laugh on the inside. He's very familiar with people of all colors. My mom would take him to work and he became very popular with all the employees lol. im 20 years old now and ive been around staffies since i was 9. My little niece and nephew grew up pulling on these staffies ears, tail, lip and nose. and not once a growl or a snip. just a stern and powerful licking. I have never owned a dog with such prowess and love. My family has had staffies for over 10 years. The first two my family owned we’re Tucker and Annie. and they had 8 pups.

Our Megs lived till she was 15 years old and regretably died due to cancer. Despite the fact she was diagnosised having cancer for the last 8 years of her life, she was still extremely happy and always wanted to with be us. I believe her love for us is what kept her going. She was very intelligent and would try to turn things around so not to do as her told but with consistent handling, I won (or at least I think I did!) Despite what people think, Megs was never aggressive to people, in fact the opposite. She was a little bit of a problem with dogs that reminded her of the German Shepherd who attacked her by jumping through it's hedge leaving several puncture wounds. Eitherwise she was very friendly to other dogs. Being an experienced dog owner I do feel this helped to train her, eitherwise I think she would have been a really difficult dog.
