Hi everyone, this might be a bit of a daft question, but I’d like to get some confirmation.
Basically, a friend of mine is expecting a litter of American Staffy cross Rottweiler pups. Since both breeds are restricted and have to be registered, will the puppies need to be as well, or will they just be classed as mixed breeds?

For a start, learn to read – I just said that claiming these are strong-willed dogs is completely wrong.

OK, you can share your experience, that is your right, but barging in like that and claiming everyone on this site is an idi... (okay, I’m oversimplifying a bit, but that’s the gist of it), that’s another thing entirely... And when you start judging everyone based only on your experience with a 5-month-old puppy, well, you'll have to excuse us, but we're having a right laugh! Cheerio then!
I think everyone has the right to have their say and speak their mind. The post might be a year old, but I’m well within my rights to post what I want. Learn to read for a start; all I said was that claiming these are headstrong dogs is completely wrong.

Yes, we can all have our say, but if it’s just to get on your high horse and claim people don't know what they're talking about when you’ve clearly misunderstood them... we can do without your opinion.
We’re on this forum to have a proper chat, not just to have a moan and storm off.

It’s unbelievable some of the absolute rubbish you read on this forum. Saying that because the parents have 'strong personalities' the pups will too is just nonsense... You clearly don't know the first thing about dogs! For a start, the dad was a Staffie—absolutely lovely, a big clumsy softie who listened to everyone and was super sociable. So much for 'strong characters'. And the mum was a Rottie, same thing... My pup is currently 5 months old and he’s incredibly sociable—actually a bit too much for our liking! He’s a sweetheart, listens really well for his age and is pretty much trained already. He’s so cuddly, he wouldn’t hurt a fly! Stop thinking that "restricted breeds" or categorised dogs are inherently mean; it's completely stupid. Of course, if you only see them on council estates being raised by idiots who only train them to attack, that’s different. Do some research before talking rubbish. And as for that 11-month breed assessment, our vet told us that based on his size, he might not even be categorised. Anyway, those of you talking without knowing what you’re on about should really get out more!
Hi there,
I think you’ve misunderstood what people were saying! No one ever said that categorised breeds are mean or aggressive.
It was simply mentioned that there’s a good chance they’ll have a "strong personality" (which definitely doesn't mean being mean).
Please don't take it personally when we discuss crossbreeds, even if you have one yourself. Every dog is different (and again, nothing nasty was intended).
We’re all on this forum to learn more about our pets. Obviously, we aren't all vets or behaviourists... but we’re just trying to help each other out and learn as we go.
Have a good day.
But when exactly was it said that restricted breeds are aggressive? Having a strong personality doesn't mean a dog is vicious, mate; you need to learn how to read properly...
And you’re contradicting yourself; two headstrong dogs will produce headstrong pups—yet you’re saying that’s rubbish! Your pup’s parents are absolute sweethearts and your dog is too... so we agree there's a genetic side to temperament then.
The law might stigmatise them, which is a joke but that’s just how it is. Anyway, maybe get your facts straight before you start shouting the odds.
It’s honestly unbelievable the rubbish you read on this forum, it’s absolute nonsense. “Two strong temperaments so the pups will definitely be the same”—what a load of rubbish... You lot clearly don't know the first thing about dogs!! For a start, the dad was a Staffy, a lovely, big clumsy softie who listened to everyone and was super sociable... So so much for the “strong temperament” thing, and the mum was a Rottie as well. My puppy is 5 months old now and he’s incredibly sociable—almost too much so for our liking! He’s a sweetheart, listens brilliantly for his age and is basically trained already; he’s so cuddly, he wouldn’t hurt a fly! Stop thinking that “category” dogs are mean or aggressive, it’s completely thick. Obviously, if you only see them on council estates being raised by idiots who only train them to attack, that's one thing. Get your facts straight before talking nonsense. As for the 11-month assessment, the vet told us that depending on how big he gets, he might not even be categorised, so basically, those of you talking without a clue need to get out a bit more!
