We have an American Staffy mix and she is very sweet. She would make the worst watch dog ever because she loves people and has never met a stranger. She is probably the least aggressive dog that I have ever known and that includes our sweet Golden Retriever who passed away earlier this year. Our Golden used to bark when someone came to the door, our Staffy mix just wiggles and smiles.
We got her as young puppy and at first we thought that she was a lab. I'm not sure that I would have agreed to bring her home if I had known at the time that she was mostly Staffy because I had heard so many "dangerous pit bull" stories and we had elementary school age kids who always had friends over. At any rate, she grew up around lots of kids and people of all age ranges. She is a sturdy little thing, quiet, never yappy, not high strung, snuggly, sweet. I honestly can not comprehend what someone would have to do to this breed to create a dangerous animal because Staffys are naturally very sweet and loving towards people.
