Agree with StiPete, i dont have a "pleb" dog, i have a lab and a collie, but its all how you bring them up, one of my mates has a staffi and its the nicest dog youll ever meet, but theres another collie just up the road from me that will always try and fight other dogs and shows its teeth to everyone that walks past their gate...
Half these comments show just how naive some folk really are.

), there are very few people here who need to own a dog of any sort at all, let alone a muscle-bound variety that was originally bred specifically for its aptitude to fight much larger animals.

The true figure is in fact just dozens, but however many it was, you can bet that all but a tiny proportion of those people were only traveling in a car in the first place because they had an actual need to go somewhere and do something. By contrast, outside of the few hundred farmers that are still scraping a living together on this island (), and blind people (), there are very few people here who need to own a dog of any sort at all, let alone a muscle-bound variety that was originally bred specifically for its aptitude to fight much larger animals.
