i have just had an experience with a male adult staff.walking back from my sisters to my mums house a staff followed us the house.mums dog was ok(good job) but was grumbling because a strange dog in her house she had never met before stiffing her bum..
any how we managed to split up the dogs by getting her away and in the front room and staff in the kitchen.but before we could get hold of him he was on the street again.i followed him with a lead in toe of hers,he had a collar but no tag.he wouldn't come to me very stand off no matter what i tried.i managed to get hold of him because he went to some ones drive who's dog was at the gate.so i got him clipped up,loads of people looking out the windows and know its not mine as i go round to my parents regular with toby.not one offered to help.knocked on a few doors and people i know on the street told me his name was buster and lived at #5.so off i go up the street to #5 knocked and knocked but was ignoring the door.then the door opened asked if it was there dog,answer "thanks duck" got hold of him and pulled him through the door.
he knew his dog was out but was sitting in the front room doing his own thing.
others said when walking back to mums "how did you get him?" asked why,was told he can't get hold of him when hes of the lead on the field. this is the owner of the dog! why does he let him off if he hasn't got the control or the dog knows recall.
so all in all i was pretty brave not knowing the staff,i have surprised myself to be honest.
he never grumbled or any thing and when i stroked him and said good boy,he jumped up and tried to give me a kiss but it did make me jump.
like others have said i know honestly believe its the owner that gives them a bad rep not the breed.
mainly down to this experience as 1 to 1 with a unknown staff. 

Well done for getting hold of him and if you see him lose again i know that the first thing that i would do is ring the RSPCA. I totally agree with what you said about the owners giving staffies a bad name. Its just ashame that more often that not you will see a bad owner rather that a good one who clearly loves the breed for what it is and not because its a 'hardman' dog. :(

i will give the dog warden a ring,i know there is a £25 charge for collecting the dog from them.i know who owns it so i can give them the address and they can pay £25 instead of a few quid on a tag.this might get a tag on him if nothing else.but the people on the street all knew the dog so wether it happens regular but i have never seen it before dunno.but if it happens again im not taking it back home i will bring him round to mine first and call the warden.

Good on ya!!!:D
Why not get your mom and other people that live there to keep a look out and they can also phone the warden and get them to keep an eye out cause the people will either decide to look after the dog properly or they might kick it out. :(
Fingers crossed they were just stupid the one time, though I doubt it very much.

Hope all goes well.

me too, i think he kicks it out so he can take himself a walk on the field which is close by and come in when he wants.but loads of dogs go on that field and horses plus there is more than one exit around 6 different places he could get off.if he kept going straight ahead he would hit a main road.i don't think any one will say any thing to him but i would if he started a few home truths about dog ownership.
