Those black and white stripey things are quite strong. I'm walked by three of them for my neighbour occasionally..

My little fella, Yoda, eats like there's no tomorrow, if he reckons we don't give him enough he eats a ton of grass or half the wood off the woodplie.

My wife wants to get a Bernese Mountain Dog. I think it might be so she can just let the dog pull her while she sits atop her throne (errhm... Electra Townie).

Border collies all brains and a little brawn. Staffies all brawn and little brains!

Now I know why the raw lacquer, you are also on the colour matching trip. Nice grey/brown/silver hues there in the pic
I have to try that cat-thing with my tomcat

I tried this once on rollerblades with my greyhound. Worked great on the flat, til she decided to stop for a wee, and got pulled along in quite an inelegant manner. Then we reached the top of a hill. Scared the **** out of me after 5 seconds, and I had to bail out into a diving roll on the grass at the side. Greyhounds can reach 40mph, which is faster than I typically like to go on skates.

Love greyhounds. Used to race them in Ireland! Gentle creatures too aside from when they see small animals! Should have placed a hare at the top of the hill for you lol!

I have taken Yoda for a run on my MTB, but he pulls on the lead too much...and his little paws struggle to apply the V-brakes when I dive off to the side for a pee.
Staffies are a highly intelligent and loyal breed, just like their owners.....mine loves riding in my BoB trailer.
