I’m disappointed to see that Delta banned a breed of dog from their airline. This last attack was not by an AmStaff mix, so as someone who has a dog which is part AmStaff, I find the stigma frustrating. Dobermans, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers have been through it already, and I’d like for the stigma surrounding Pits to come to an end.

Greta is in training to be a service animal for me, and went through a good citizen training course (bare minimum for emotional support or equivalent) to start with. From here, she can move up.

She’s a mix of American Staffordshire Terrier, Boxer, and Rhodesian Ridgeback, and is incredibly sweet with everyone, but clings to me like a toddler. I suppose I could claim she has no AmStaff in her, because she looks like a Rhodie, but I refuse to fly at this point anyway.

If you don’t test your dog when it comes to cramped public places, you shouldn’t take them into cramped public spaces.
