About the walking thing in public, she walks by me with no leash or muzzle. I do have leash with me and I use it when there is too much cars. Simply because, she never attacks. People sometimes get afraid bit I convince them very fast in opposite. I've been in situation where a small star dog, that had little pupps, was biting her on neck, while Dora simply waved her tail and sniffed the pupps. She likes other dogs, to play and especially babies. That goes for humans too, she simply loves being petted and given food.
And not to mention little children. Oh boy what a happines that is, on both sides.
All I know is that when I saw her she was in cage, in scars, in piss and sh*t and I had to take her away. In two months, I brought her in perfection. As I said, she walks by me and nothing can take her away from me. They say Staffords love their owners first, then themselves.
I suspect she was used for puppies exploatation and fighting. People usually think she is male, due to her stance and by the way she walks. I noticed how she did not know how to play with me either, so that is why I guessed she did not have as pleasant and joyfull life. Now she does, and she is very thankfull.
Don't worry.
You're making the exact mistake many dog owners make, that I warned you about.
You think its cool when she slobbers all over someone's kid, and the kid and the parents are afraid, but you feel confirmed when the dog doesn't bite.
It's NOT cool.
The parents and the kid don't know your dog.
They may have had previous bad experience with dogs.
You not only have to respect your dog, you also have to respect other people.
You may think it's funny, but I know more than one parent who had a huge dog come up to their baby carriage and slobber all over their kid. The owner dog said "dont worry the dog just wants to play", but the parents would have shot the dog if they had a gun at that moment.
You're behaving irresponsibly. I'm also saying this as an experienced dog owner.
