STAFFY PERCEPTIONS Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Ruth Thomas and I am a 3rd year mature student on an Applied Animal Behavioural Science and Welfare degree programme with Greenwich University. I am carrying out a research dissertation where I will be investigating the public?s perception of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and comparing it to that of canine professionals.This study will take an in-depth look at differences in opinion between the two groups and why they may exist. In particular, the role of the media and stereotyping will be investigated. This survey is anonymous and your details are hidden. Please feel free to answer honestly as your opinions are valuable and there are no wrong or right answers- it will only take two-three minutes to complete. Please copy and paste this link to a new browser and you will be directed to the questionnaire- https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MKFPF6V Underneath each question there is a comments box for you to explain your answers-your comments are valuable and will be included in the results. I am extremely grateful to you for taking the time to read this email and I hope you will also take the time to fill out this questionnaire. If you would like a copy of the results then please reply to this email or via the questionnaire. Kind Regards Ruth Thomas- [email protected] Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21213-please-take-part-in-a-greenwich-university-staffordshire-bull-terrier-survey/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huguenot Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I couldn't finish it because I was too surprised by the leading nature of Question 8 to feel that it merited a response.The question is too unsubtle to be answered truthfully, it can only be answered by people either fulfilling or rejecting your premise.

MGolden Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Sorry - I did try answering it but I couldn't answer Q8 as I would be fearful of the dog not the owner or the environment and your question didn't give that (or indeed not being scared) as an option.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 You are right Hugenot, who wouldn't take against those cuffs in picture 2?

PeckhamRose Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I agree, so I ticked the scary man in the second picture then wrote that actually neither of them are scary.

STAFFY PERCEPTIONS Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hi all. unfortunately there is nothing that I can do about question 8 as for an image question the host would only allow 2 possible answers. If you feel that neither dog would intimidate you then please tick one and leave a comment in the comments section stating otherwise- I will group all of these together and include as additions in the results.

josie100 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Will be very interested to see the results of the survey. I have a rescue staff from Battersea who is an angel, but people gather their children up when they see her. Especially Dulwich park and Wandsworth common! I have had plenty of people tell me she should not even be in the park or she should be on a lead as they are aggressive dog sand at times I have had challenge a few people on their bigoted views and show them that my dog is not out to kill, mame or hurt other dogs or children, in fact she's usually more placid and clam than the fluffy neurotic breeds who easily nip and ankle or two!But because of how she looks she has a stigma attached to her which is very sad. Down to stupid Kids trying to look hard. In fact I usually go up to these kids with my dog who wants to play with their dog and 9 times out of 10, I find thier's, usually harnessed up in studded collars etc, usually just rolls over on its back to have its belly rubbed - much to the horror of the kid at the other end of the lead who has just lost a bit of street cred. Where did all this come from?

peterstorm1985 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I've never been keen on Staffs myself but only because I find them deeply unattractive dogs; brought up in a good home they make a perfectly safe pet with no dangerous attributes. But I might be wary of a dog if I knew it had been rescued simply because a mistreated past may come back with a trigger. I love the idea of josie100 getting the 'hard' dogs to roll over for their tummies to be tickled (language intended to create softer image). It sounds like a good idea for youtube video to change attitudes Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21213-please-take-part-in-a-greenwich-university-staffordshire-bull-terrier-survey/#findComment-511940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
