It All Depends On How They're Trained And Raised - Tumblr Posts

he only barks at people because he wants to protect his family <3 my staffy's name is toby btw :D he's so sweet he's literally the friendliest animal ever he's such a big and somewhat intimidating dog to many but the only thing he'll do is lick you a lot and demand pets literally one time when he was at the vet he was wagging his tail excitedly at one of the smaller dogs and the moment it barked at him he- -backed away and sat down. like this big muscular dog known for its power got nervous getting barked at by this small little curly one. on one hand i kinda do understand people being wary of staffies because they absolutely can be dangerous dogs but on the other hand i think the widespread fear of them is really exaggerated it all depends on how they're trained and raised a ''bad dog'' isn't actually a bad dog. they just act aggressive because that's the way they were raised and the life experiences they had. people think all staffies are gonna go buckwild on them as soon as they approach them and then here's my dog who's literally just- -a big stinky baby who wants tummy rubs and cuddles <3 the worst my dog will do is accidentally scratch you or knock you over because he got the zoomies he has sharp claws he can't help scratching people on accident also cool facts about my dog: he's classified as blue and he has one eye he had to get his right eye removed because he got a really bad case of glaucoma unfortunately :( but he's so much happier now because he isn't in pain anymore and he's adjusted to it so well :D he's also become more brown over the years and doesn't look as blue as he used to but he's still my beautiful blue baby <3 i love staffies they are so sweet
