The RSPCA said there were 158 Staffies at its shelters at the start of last month.

It blamed yobs who buy the breed as a status symbol and train them to be aggressive.

German shepherds were the second most unwanted, with 92 in shelters, followed by rottweilers.

RSPCA's Mark Bowles said: "People just kick them out. It's very sad pets are part of out throwaway society."

Chief Constable Richard Brunstom waned of a surge in "fashion accessory" dogs.
