Domino I believe he's called ...



And next to his current 3 year old Sassha



I think everyone is aware of the bad rep these dogs have but for people who are scared of them .. you only need to come and see this puppy or the way the older bitch deals with her

Never been a fan of the breed myself .. but these two have changed my mind

 

Very nice dogs.

Yeah, Staffies have a bad rep due to chav's buying them to intimidate. A well trained Staffie is one of the best family dogs you can own.
All they want to do is play, love, and get their tummy scratched.










Yes, I have a Staffie

 

Looking at the pics, they seem to have quite bloated stomachs .. is that normal ?

Oh and I have to say they really, really don't look intimidating .. but then apparently my dog is or was a Chav favorite and shes less intimidating that a squirrel ....

 

Having owned a Staffie for 20 years I can whole heartedly agree with the above. They have a reputation that they simply don't deserve thanks to a few irresponsible owners, but the fact is that this breed absolutely thrives on human attention and are renowned as 1st class family dogs

If I was able to have a dog, I would have a Staffy in a heartbeat. Yes as has been said, they have unfortunately got a bad reputation due to some irresponsible owners, but the ones I have had contact with have been lovely, very friendly dogs.

 

thanks for the comments so far guys ..

 

aww, domino looks adorable.

my sister 'rescued' a staffy last year, off a farmer who kept him out in a field as livestock security

He was a right little monster when she first got him - no real training, and had some bad habits. He now attends puppy school once a week and last night passed his bronze award .

He is a cheeky little chap, with an extreme playful side, but is an absolute sweetheart. It the 'chav's of today who get this sort of breed, and don't bother to give it the proper attention and training they deserve, and use them simply as a astatus symbol or at worst for dog fighthing.
People still shy away when they see Tyler, simply because of his breed, and the so called stigmas attached to them

 

What a fantastic looking dog !!

 

TY. he is a handsome little devil

 

Its a shame that the idiots decided to use the Staff as a mascot, I think they would be the perfect dog for us but my wife wont have one, its a sad indictment of the type of people that have been drawn to Staff ownership by going to a rescue centre website and seeing that a large percentage of the dogs are Staffs, now I dont think that this is because they are hard work, just that people who cant look after themselves properly never mind a pet get them to look hard and then either get bored or cant be bothered to look after them.

We were offered one for rehoming but I got a flat no from the missus. I suppose it didnt help that them only one she has know was my cousins that got all excited on her only visit to our house and laid a massive Dog Egg on the front room carpet !

 

You are right, Jacko. When we went looking for a dog for my fiance parents last year we went up to battesea dogs home.. a large number of the dogs up for rehoming were either staffy or staffy x

 

Cross? I'd be ****ing furious If I was up for rehoming

 

awww, cute as

pimmo, yours is looking gorgous (The Dog btw)

Jet is going through the losing his puppy fur stage and his tail is looking really skanky. Hope it fills out a bit

 

thats an old pic...

 

She is looking lovely

Any excuse, here is my Boy

 

No far off each other size wise .. or at least thats how it looks from the photos ... lovely looking dog .. Love the way their ears stand up

 

My mum received a photo today from my brother of a lovely little 6 week old Staffy bull.He is black and they named him Lewis.My bro and his family are going on holiday to stay with us and they have all seen him today so my niece wants to take him home now.He is coming straight from the breeder.
I was reading a thread and i understand they are lovely after they are fully trained, the info i need to know is what is the characteristics of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier ?.

If you look on google you will fiind lots of stuff, but I thought this might be of use..

Thanks little-ginge.

 

What an odd sentence ..

 

Why is that odd Pimmo ?.

 

Its not only the Staffie/GSD/Rotties that gets bad press.... What about the Original ferocious ankle biter!!.......A.K.A..... The Jack Russell

 

Heres my baby as a pup.
He's a Siberian Huskey and he's gorgeous!!

 

He is a lovely dog, never seen a Siberian Huskey before.

 

Read it out loud ..

 

I wasn't trying to bully people Pimmo, if that was what you were thinking.

 

lol no mate not at all.. it make sense on here, but if you read it out loud it sounds odd ...

Thanks little ginge.

 

Is it me, or does he look like a baby hippo

 

Oh right i understand now, although i think maybe we will be slapped when she arrives.

 

Strange colour for a hippo though Sharkman.
