It is something I am very conscious about
Very sad story

i also have a staffy and am also very conscious of his strength and the way people percieve the breed , i have no children but my 3 year old nephew absolutely loves Zak (my dog) even though they seem fine together i would NEVER leave them alone. this is another tragic accident
^ .. i also have a problem with Zak jumping up , drives me mad but doesn't try if i hold my hand in front of him , i get my nephew to do this when the initial burst of excitement (you know what i mean) is happening.
