well guys our staffy male pup has been with us a week now, he is getting on really well with the female (saffy). they play together well, she tell's him off when he gets out of hand. it has taken the pressure off our other dog poppet (14years old). she just goes in the hall and goes to sleep and let's them get on with it. if the pup does bother her saffy steps in. only have the odd puddle now and then,when he sneak's away whithout us seeing him. only crapped twice in the house both on the paper, we now put him outside and he goes no problems. all in all we are glad we got him he is a real character. he will start puppy training after his 2nd jab. will keep you informed of his progress. been reading the staffy thread, like they say it is the owner most of the time. our girl was on the monthly dog walk with the training school 8 dogs in all. she was set upon by a rottie twice on the third time our girl give it back. it always seams more often than not that it is another dog that goes for ours, she just wants to play. all was well in the end . all the best steve
