Irresponsible breeding has led to a rise in the number of abandoned Staffordshire bull terriers, a dog rehoming home charity has said.
The City Dogs Home in Stoke-on-Trent said the breed accounted for about half of the dogs left with it.
It said the dogs had often been trained to be aggressive.
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club (SBTC) said the breed's reputation had been damaged by people cross-breeding them with banned pit bull terriers.
