Fair enough. I wouldn't want one either, but they do not deserve their bad name.

As someone else said, A Jackie is great, so are Staffies. Best dog I ever had was a Jackie/Foxy cross.

Our neighbours had two,you are correct,the yapping was constant.Mianly when the owners were out,they would bark all day at nothing.

One got into our yard once,and the Sharpie we had in those days ripped it into shreds,very nearly killed it.

Dont get a dog from a backyard, get one from an animal aid / rescue.
1. They vet check, micro chip, desex and check for temperament.
2. They match owners to individual dogs. Dont look for pretty/handsome or a particular breed - the scruffy ones often are the best temperament.
3. Some even offer a sleepover for the dog and aftersales guidance and help.
4. Some send you home with a starter pack of food, bedding etc.
5. The dogs they have really need a good home. Some people are awful and dont deserve a pets love.

Dont support backyard breeding!!! - thousands of damn good dogs in pounds already.

Do it , visit the local RSPCA and talk to them.
I did seven years ago , my ex wife wanted a dog I didn't, then I met Cooper , he had been tied up most of his life , all he wanted was some love.
So a few days later home comes a 60kg mastiff boxer great dane crossed boof head.
Gentle giant.
Forward a couple of months my ex informed me our marriage was over. Long story short he was the best mate I needed, I was basically rescued by him from a crap part of my life.
He's now getting on but never have I had a better mate.

You sure you're ready for a dog? They come warts and all. Maybe something in this link would be better?

If you DO want a dog, stop focussing on the type, and go out and meet some. One will come to you. Bit like a wife. Somehow, it just happens. Do it that way, and you will be loved, and you will howl when it ends. Ask me how I know.
