I had my jaw fractured by a dog wearing a Baskerville type muzzle(it was a Springer) so I know first hand how much damage can be done even if the dog can't actually bite.I think you are this dog's last chance of a loving home and I wish you well with her but PLEASE don't ever let her off her lead even when you think there are no dogs around,its just not worth it.

> I've been everywhere today and not managed to find a Baskerville to fit her.  I was surprised, considering how many Staffies there are in the UK.

This place has extra wide muzzles :) They are light weight, soft plastic instead of the metal cage sort, I've never used this sort, I've no idea how good they are? There are loads of on-line shops that have big ranges of muzzles.

>Well, it will take a lot for me to give up on little Stella.

Good for you :) I'm sure you'll have many happy years with Stella, you've just got to keep her out of trouble.
