The credit crunch is respsonible for more dogs getting dumped, yes. I just want to know why so many of them are Staffies. Is it a certain 'type' of people who buy them as pups and then don't want to look after them, ie picking up poo, not so cute as adults as they were when they are pups.? Are they a breed who are seen as 'hard' and good on the end of a lead?
