My local dogs home is also full of Staffords and their crosses, even whole litters last year. They unfortunately are bred by the irresponsible who think that breeding just entails mating two dogs that look the same.
We see a lot of these poor dogs at our training classes, and if you just want a pet you will probably find quite a young one, as many folk don't realise how lively they are and the impulse bought ones soon end up in rescue.
