how much should excercise should i give my 5 month old stafford?
any suggestions?

Staffy pups are full of energy, and always desperate to go out and play, at this age you don't want to do too much because he/she is still growing and developing.
But I would say 30mins a day would be fine for now, but as he/she gets older the more walks the better.  My girls would walk all day if they could and they never tire!
Good luck with your pup :)

The thing to remeber with staffys is that they are hardy little dogs and could walk forever if you let them - but dont at such a young age.

Mine hardly walks for 10 mins anymore. I think there must be something wrong with him and we are off to the vet tonight. I was always under the impression that they were energetic, even when they got older, not experienceing this right now.

Hi sarah

hope everything is well at the vets tonight, let us know

Thanks Coleystaff
Will let you know. Its just this has been going on for so long its become a joke. He wouldn't go for a walk at all this weekend, but was happy to go for a 15 min walk this morning, but he won't go again tonight. We even tried putting him in the car and taking him to a different park, and did that work :(

does any know at what age does a staffy stop growing as far as height goes. My staffy is 5.5 months old and is 13 inches at withers, he is also filling out quite fast. Is his height normal and when will that stop. Thanks

ours is 14 months old and she is 16-17 inches and 17kg, probably about a kilo heavier than we would like. She was always going to be tall as her Mother was and her Father especially. I imagine she wont stop until she is between 18-24 months which I think is the general consensus about age and growth. She's long limbed and has a long face as well

They normally get their height before they finish filling out

Different lines develope at different rates and so it will depend on your dogs breed lines
