Ah man, I don't have any experience with pibbles but pretty much everything in the article is equally applicable to staffies. Bull terriers make great pets when they're taught proper canine manners (like every other breed out there) and they're stupid cute.

After reading the article...are breed specific laws in the US as amazingly arbitrary as the ones in the UK? Here we assess whether a dog's okay or not based almost entirely on their appearance and how close they are to the profile of the banned 'types' of dog. Behavior, past or present, is never taken into account. :|
