Woof, woof.

Can't believe there are calls for Staffordshire bull terriers to be added to the breeds banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act.  Like any breed, Staffies can be trained to be vicious, but their basic nature is playful, friendly, loveable and particularly good with children.  They are chunky and muscular and if they jump up at you - which being friendly and playful they are wont to do - when you're not ready for it they can easily knock you over, but that's about the only way in which they can be considered a danger.
