Matt _Aero top_ Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi folks just thought i'd share with you all a picture of my new Staffy , I pick her up on saturday or friday if i can get away from work early . Anyone else got one and any advice would be appreciated as its my first staffy . They tell me its between 12 and 16 weeks old but i think its more but not by much maybe 6 months tops . It goes without saying its stunning and can't believe something like this ends up in a rehoming kennels . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 SWEEEEEET It does come to question how people do this to such young pups though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-NA Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 So so cute, better not show the GF as she will want another. We got ours from a rescue centre, as a stray we wern't sure on what she would be like but she is bloody awesome, couldnt have asked for a better dog.

Martin J Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I really want a dog, but we're out of the house from 7:15 'til around 4pm every day... Don't think it'll be fair to leave one at home all day so I'll have to wait until retirement Oh, and that is a really lovely dog by the looks of her - I remember a friend had a Staff growing up, it had a lovely temperament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin J Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Another problem is we have nowhere really to leave a dog - don't want to leave one in the garden all day (bad weather, possible escaping etc), and indoors they have the potential to get a bit bored and destroy things Oh well... one day!!

tbourner Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 There are LOADS of staffs in Pompey rescue, we can't have one because we don't trust Loki with them since he was bitten badly by one. Another problem is we have nowhere really to leave a dog - don't want to leave one in the garden all day (bad weather, possible escaping etc), and indoors they have the potential to get a bit bored and destroy things Oh well... one day!! Do you have space for a crate? They're cheap enough and it doesn't have to be huge if you get a reasonable size dog. Most dogs can be left alone if trained properly, just ignore them when they moan and ignore them when you leave/come home. Dogs have to follow your rules not the other way around, if you have to go to work and leave them then they have to learn to live with it.

Matt _Aero top_ Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 get a cage till you can trust it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Yeh we have space for a crate in my opinion... Whether the mrs agrees though is another matter Something to look into I suppose - and depends on the breed I guess as some get more bored than others due to their greater need for exercise etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Ahh, cute dog, good to see you giving a rescue a home, we have two, although the later rescue is a PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Dogs have to follow your rules not the other way around, if you have to go to work and leave them then they have to learn to live with it. 100% agree, they are the bottom of the pecking order in the household like any other pet, the sooner they learn this the better things will be.
