Dog in the Dry your Eyes Mate video by The Streets

What is the breed of the dog that features in The Streets video for 'Dry your Eyes Mate'?

Thanks

I think it's a staffordshire bull terrier, I can't remember though so it might not be. Does it look like this?

It was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. They are given a bad name in the press but are very loving and affectionate dogs if they are bought up well.

I had one from the age of 8 till a couple of years ago when she died and she was so loving. My boyfriends family did too and my brother has a mum and daughter pair too.

The one in the video is gorgeous

Are you asking because you want one Kimbles? If so and it is a staff then get one from a home, there are loaads of abandoned staffs who get taken on by people who want an accessory and then won't look after them.

Thanks for your help guys. It was actually my friend Kevin who wanted to know. He thought it was really adorable and thought it was a staff but wasnt sure.

Im probably gonna get a right bashing for saying this, but it is a chav dog. If you see a chav family in most towns it seems to be their preferred breed of dog.

I agree - probably very nice dogs, but as chav an accessory as your Kappa tracksuit, Burberry cap or sovereign rings. Still, nice dog though....

Goodsoulette, whats wrong with saying that?..it`s the truth

The chavs do give these dogs a bad name....by that I don`t mean Tyson,Killer etc..lol

[Goodsoulette]

well, I am sure there are people who don't look like total chavs that have that dog. To be honest I dont like them, they remind me to much of pitbulls which is why most chavs probably like them. We have a chav family in out street that have a staffy bitch that supplies the rest of the chav families in the area. It makes me cringe when they put those harnesses with all the brass things on them.
I do remember an old lady having a staffy who lived up the sreet from me and it was such a nice dog so I think my dislike for them has mainly conme from the chav connection. Oh well/

I hate that chav's have adopted them because it gives them a bad rep. Why do the ruin everything? Mica never wore a stupid harness or any of the other chav gear.

Not all staffs are owned by chavs and they are really loving and affectionate. We actually saved her from a chav family who tried to drown her as they had a kid and decided they no longer needed a dog.
