and, apart from being THE most stupid, incompetent, and ineveterate 'would-be cat killer' I have known, among dogs that is!, 'Loekie' is still the biggest wuss-bag of a dog I have EVER known!Because I have gone out of my way to love him, he always comes to me at fambly gatherings, plonks himeslf beside ME and whimpers whenever I get up for replenishments or whatever until I return when he whimpers and thumps his tiny little tail.
As he also has a habit of noisily / obviously 'humping legs', it is fortunate that he only does this to females! THE one thing I'd love to be able to direct him to do!!!!! ;-)!
Immensely loveable dogs - unlike ordinary BT's!!! IME&0.
Touchingly LONGGG memories for friends too IME. I have hunted BIG feral pigs with Staffies and they can be incredibly brave!
I have known 5 of these dogs well.
You know Bill, for someone who PREFERS cats, I think I don't do too badly on the understanding/liking dogs front!
Even the ones, like Jass next door, who are PITA, I still care about them.

Follow Ups:
The straight-nosed English Bull Terriers I have met have been stroppy and aggressive, and a real challenge for the owner to establish a permanent dominance...One of the very few fights to the death I have witnessed (and could do nothing about since both dogs had gone "berserk") was between an English Bull Terrier and a very stroppy Dobe/Rott cross... The Dobe/Rott cross was the fatality, possibly because even when it was obviously no longer able to either attack or defend itself, the EBT was still in a killing rage, and we simply could not keep it from continually savaging the injured dog... It did not bother to try to go round us, it went through us with an unpleasant implacability just to be able to inflict yet another tearing bite on the other dog...
As you may have guessed, I would NOT recommend the English Bull Terrier breed as a family pet!...
Staffordshire Terriers and the closely related breeds have been demonized in the U.S.. They are actually illegal to own in some localities. It also can be quite difficult to get homeowners liability insurance here short of policy that specifically excludes the dog if you own one. The problem also extends to Rotweillers although to a lesser extent. I would agree that these are lovely dogs in the hands of a proper but their reputation as "tough dogs" has made them popular with people who should never own an animal of any sort. Bad owners can ruin any dog.
huming beans!, we ain't what we crack ourselves up to be, eh?

along with the greyhound - 'adopted' I ween.A Beagle is also a possibility.
I've gunned over a pair of Beagle, rabbitting in open / blackberry-bush country.
The female of this 'entire' pair, would also retrieve the bunnies, and was unerring about 'whose' each one was.
How she knew how to prop / stop -'before entering the shot-pattern zone - I will NEVER figure out!
