Should we buy a house with aggressive dog next door?

They'll need to put a fence up anyway if they both have dogs? What a weird thing to say to someone you've just met though

The neighbours sound scary, never mind the dog!

It would certainly put me off.

There is no way I would move next door to an aggressive staffie
Not just because of my own little dog but for my own safety

Will there be any children visiting the house?

I think they are lucky to find out about this dog before they complete on the house

The new neighbours sound quite off putting and what an awful thing to say about their own dog.

If they take the house it would not be unreasonable to put up a strong resilient fence as soon as possible.
I have a staffie and would never tell anyone that she would kill their little dog, mainly because she wouldn't.
I do have fences in the back garden but so does every other house along the row mainly for privacy.

It would depend entirely on how it was said. I wouldn't want to live next to people with an aggressive dog, staffie or not. I think they need to weigh up what sort of neighbours they are going to have, bad ones can make your life a complete misery and I'd certainly want the present owners to declare that they have had no issues with either the dog or the neighbours.

No

Sorry, but I would cancel the move.

Oh Goodness, that would put me right off I’m afraid.
