well i have a blue staff and 10 months old now and has only just started calming down she has chew'd through a plaster board wall tried eating the fridge and most staffs at somepoint like to eat shit as the are a clean living dog lol.. but i wouldnt change any of the above as i love her

Rhys

Cool, just hope you have given it more thought though, and was a spur of the moment thing, as the old saying a dog is for life not just for xmas.


I would love a dog, but just cant fit one into my life as would be unfair

STAFFY OWNER

Congratulations mate, lots of love & lots of discipline (in that order) and you won't be disappointed, i guarantee you will never own another breed.
Fuck me Chip, i never thought i'd see the day that i'd agree with one of your posts .
Only if you let them.
People have the wrong idea of crates (not called cages). My dog is in one whilst i am at work and he loves it, it is not really any difference to a kennel it's just different in appearance and the door can be closed when you want to keep your dog enclosed. My Staffy puts himself away in it in the morning as soon as he sees me putting my work boots on in the morning, also when he hears my other half dishing up dinner at night he again puts himself away, if he didn't like it he wouldn't do it. Every time he does it he is rewarded with a treat so he associates it with a pleasant experience. Using a crate you can completely remove the chewing issue that all pups go through as you don't need to leave them in situations where they have chewing targets ie chair legs, table legs, cupboard doors & skirting boards available to them.
To true buddy, it's more often the owners that get the dog a bad name. The dog (of any breed) should be a pet/companion not a trophy or weapon.

Has your staff got a lazy eye?

Sister has an American Bulldog puppy 13weeks old named Lucy...

So true! Ive just managed to rehome a lovely Staffy called Poppy - she is about 3 years old and a real treat to be around. Her previous owner lived over the road from me - she was his trophy/weapon - the police even took her off of him once and had her for 6 months - came back tatoo'd, speyed and about half her body weight - broke my heart nearly every day!

She's with a freind of mine now and is coming on heaps, she's like a new dog! I only wish i had the time to help more of them.



Ps - nice one Dan - cute pup

Caprigirl

awesome dogs - my mate has one and he is 4 i think now - he was tiny when we picked him up.

STAFFY OWNER

Take my hat off to you mate well done . A friend of mine (the lady who bred my Staffy) is very heavily in to Stafford rescue and re-homing, you would be amazed how much of her time it takes up.

Mrs T

i was looking for a staff pup for a while, i looked at a few of the rehoming centre's they had a few young staffs go in but wouldn't let me have one due to me having a 3 year old, and as much as i know staff's are very good with kids i didn't want to get a older one just in case.

In the end i put a wanted add up in the freeads and i got mine from what i think was a breeder who couldn't sell them, i didnt pay anything for mine but she does seem to have been a bit ill treated

kiddie

Staff's are GREAT family pets. Our's is called Stella, she is 4 this year.
She adores our little girl! Just hates cats though

Serious Q time. In aberdeen i only ever see staffi's in chavvy/shite areas of town and neds with tracksuits parade them about the streets like it's "hard". I don't know anyone "normal" with a staffi as a dog. Hence i tend to hate them

Is this a problem in other places?

By what you said above Dave about a "trophy" i think that seems similar.

Shame really.

There are a few around here with them as well chopy that have them pullin like mad with the tracksuits on! strange tho ive known a good few staffies over the years & cant think of a bad one! they can be boysterous when playing with them but most of them are sooks!

wirralphil

It's the same in all places tbh. Chavs like "Tough Dogs" to look ard wit the m8's

I just like pet dogs, be it a Jack Russell through to a Akita (sp).

gary fraser

i totally agree with what chop is sayin as i stay in aberdeen as well and they are like a status symbol for the chavs,i got a 14month old brindle staff called guinness think he weighs about 30kilos now and still growin.

steanlol

I've had a couple of staffs a black dog and a red bitch , both beautiful and loving animals but i now have an english bull and there just the same really .

The only thing now with staffs is there getting like clitorises , every ..... got one !

Shame really as they fall into the wrong hands and everybody gets taredwith the same brush .

UPDATE !!!

Well so far she has eaten one mop head, woken me up the last 2 mornings at 6am and pissed and pooed everywere lol....... and is too scared to leave my room but does like following me around the room wherever i go which is funny lol

All in all she is a right laugh will get some pics over the weekend

Mrs T

dont walk round with no shoes on i've found a few puddles and its not a nice feeling

STAFFY OWNER

Lol at a Staffy with a tracksuit on, still it is colder up North.
Mate are you sure that you have a Staffy as your dog is half his ideal bodyweight over weight. Ideally a dog should weigh no more than 18Kg and a bitch should weigh no more than about 15.5 - 16Kg. How tall is your dog at the top of his shoulders (withers) he should be no more than 16". Read up on the breed standard you will see what i mean.

wirralphil

Worse with poo.

Fact.

Find the toughest toy in the shop. Wear her out!! saves on buying new couches etc

i no it aint the same but we just got a english springer puppy hes 4 months now and fully house trained the best thing to do with puppys is to lock them in a crate at nite not a cage its a crate they wont dirty there own bed so they wont do it this is the best way to train il have my dog bringing back the phesants eventually just takes alot of training

wirralphil

True, still needs guidence aswell.

Let them know when Play time is Play and Teach time is teach.

Yesterday I spent 2hrs with the American Bulldog puppy as she knew when and what to do. Even better if another dog who is tranind is there as they follow.

studabear

Pet plan are good, not cheap mind, my english bull terrier is with them

Mr Shannon

That bluey is absolutely stunning mate, congrats I bet he's your new bezzy already!

I went and picked up our new pup yesterday evening, he's 7 weeks old and black and brindle in colour. He absolutely loves to play but is getting quite fond of mine and the other halfs lap's :s

We also have a female adult house cat which is still abit sketchy about the new addition to the house but I think theyll be fine in time.

Mr Brannen

awesome colour that

Roscco

Looks gorgeous, just remember as many will tell you, staffs especially NEED to know thier place in the pack (family), otherwise you'll end up with a dog constantly competing for dominance.
Have 1 myself, EXCELLENT breed if brought up properly, which i'm sure you will.

gaz s1

lovely staff and great choice of name as our staffs called bella, best breed of dog out there so loving and just want to be your best mate, as well as the naughty kid in the house
