I strongly object to people bringing this type of dog onto a site especially a family site, as a child could end up being mauled. 

 

 There are a few other dogs that should also be banned from camp sites.  The other caravan park in our town bans Pit Bulls obviously, Bull terriers, Staffies, German Sheherds and several other breeds that are know to cause injury.
What is your opinion on the type of dog that should or shouldn't be allowed on camp sites?

and i strongly object to uneducated  people making statements like this one above.........................................................

if you actually looked at the figures more attacks than any other breed come from german shepard/alsations there are far fewer attacks from staffies than loads of other dogs its just the press make such a fuss of it and IDIOTS believe everything they read in the papers

staffies are known as nanny dogs for a reason ......that is they have the strongest maternal instinct towards children

i have been rescuing staffies for 15 years and my parents for about 30 we have a saying no child is born with a bad habbit nor is ANY DOG it is the way they are brought up before any of you start saying its already in the breeding bull c*ap

we have two full pedigree staffies at the moment we regularly end up on the same field when walking at night as two yorkie terriers(and their idiotic irrisposible owner who lets them off the lead knowing they are agressive to other dogs) who agressivly chase my two to the corner of the field maybee we should ban yorkies aswell while we are at it

plaese do me one favour and dont add fuel to the idiots fires by believing all the rubbish you read about staffies its the jungle drums that cause the stigma and problems theese lovely dogs have to live with every day

 

as for the dangerouse dog act 1991 that someone has mentioned please read it again ill educated people rule the roost here the order covers PIT BULL dogs a staffie is NOT  a pit bull it is a "staffordshire bull terrier" origionaly bred for taking bulls down NOT fighting in a pit which is where the pit bull name comes from.......................so please stop refering them to the pit bull dangerouse dog act as this act does not include staffies

here is a quote from the staffie owners site i am a member of" In the UK the British Government rushed in legislation banning "the type of dog known as the Pitbull terrier". Fortunately for SBT owners, the major canine organisations were consulted and were at least able to persuade the politicians and civil servants that the registered Staffordshire Bull Terrier breed was different.
so no they dont have to be muzzled or tattoed or castrated or chipped ) i have had mine castrated and chipped

please please please stop taring all theese dogs with the same brush

 

 

 

sorry to answer your question i think ANY "well behaved dog AND owner" should be allowed on any site that allows dogs......................after all if as a person you was restricted from what sites you were allowed on due to your race/upbringing or any other reason there would be an uproar and probrably court action for dicrimination

 WE HAVE 2 DOGS ALSATIAN AND ROTTWEILLER NEITHER DOG WOULD

  BE A PROBLEM ON SITE IT IS NOT THE DOGS TO BLAME IT IS THE

  PEOPLE THAT OWN THEM .

Over the weekend a family arrived with a Pit Bull dog which took an instant dislike to any other dog on site.  This dog got loose on two occasions and went tearing around the site obviously looking for a fight but luckily all those that had dogs had the foresight to have them either in the caravan or with them in the car.  At other times the Pit Bull was kept in a cage in front of their awning or in the caravfan itself.

Well i own a Rottweiler and a Cocker Spanial so i guess i`m going to fall in your catagory.

Can you tell me why my dog should be banned from a campsite when she has done nothing wrong  The last couple of times we`ve been away she`s been snapped at an attempted attack by an on lead dog and charged at by off lead dogs twice and she didn`t even attempt to retaliate let alone start anything. Oh and none of these nasty unruly dogs fell in your catagory so why my dog.

I have every respect for people who are genuinly worried by my dog but take great offence at people who automatically persume she goes around attacking people and dogs just because of the breed she is.

So far i`ve never been refused from a campsite and never had anyone complain about my dog while there  If i ever am refused then it`s their loss not mine. I`ll just go somewhere where the owners are more welcoming
