Staffordshire Bull Terrier

me and my fiancee got a staffie bitch who is now 4 years old and she is really good with kids and quite affectionate she is genarally quite calm untill someone walks through the door and she wont give up untill she gets some fuss iv also done a bit of research on these dogs and yes they were bred for fightng but my dog has never lashed out when we first got her a huge german sheaperd came up to her and started barking near her neck area and she didn't blink or move she didn't even look at the dog but carried on walking they are not afraid of other dogs or going up to new people but my dog is terified of deep water if we walk over a small bridge she cowers and waddles across but shell quite freely go to the edge of a river and paddle but as soon as it hits her waist she jumps out and will find somwhere shallower but all in all she is an amasing dog with a wonderfull nature but when walking her i have to put her on a lead if there are people around as you will find there are a lot of people terrified of this breed and it is down to the fact that they will quite happily walk staight up to them for fuss without hesitation there are a lot of people who dislike this dog but in my opinion shes the best dog ive ever owned and wouldnt change her for the world
