my son brought homs a puppy yesterday. she is a staffy.......gorgeous little thing. he has been looking for one for ages. problem is she has no papers. both parents were seen and are pure staffies. i have made an apointment to get her checked over. she has settled in lovely so far (touch wood!). slept thro the night and eating well. reef our bully thinks she is wonderful!. she is only 6 weeks old tho.we havnt had a staffy before so will be looking for advice!.at the moment she is fast asleep in her cage. she is a gorgeous red brindle and he has named her winnie!.you may remember he went to look at some a few weeks ago with his dad......the dog was a pure bred but hubbs sed the mother looked like a cross. (not the same people by the way).....so wouldnt let him buy. thats why i think he got this one without telling us first!.anyway thought i would let you all know and see what you think!.

I say congratulations on being the owner of a Staff :) Winnie is a lovely name and suits a Staff bitch well and red brindles are stunning dogs when pups and adult.

I don't agree with the choice of a on KC reg pup as in my opinion it is just a licence to make make money with none of the responsibilty to the breed. But he'll learn, and soon as people who give up smoking are the keenest advocates in the banning of smoking I hope he'll become "a convert to the cause" of only KC and health checked parents breeding to the standard.

But congratulations on a staffie pup they are clever dogs, and don't let her get away with things as a pup you won't want an adult to do, regardless of how cute and little she looks ;) . A 7lb puppy of 6 weeks today is a 30lb ball of muscle at 5 months or so.
They learn quickly and although lots of people don't realise it are sensitive dogs and a slightly raised voice from their beloved "people" is enough to corrrect the average Staff. Consistancy in all things is a must. Because they soon learn to tell who are the "easy touch's" in their people :) Although are normally to kind hearted/or clever to take advantage too often.

thanks!. must say she is learning already if she whines son will pick her up. lol. and she is recognising her name. she is a little darling tho !!!!.

As long as he realises Tanni that a chair will never be his own if he carries on "spoiling" her then that's fine ;)
