new dog to the home

hey i mentioned the other day about getting another dog for company for blade 8 month male. been to look at some pups today 3 weeks old. ive seen a male and a female the problem is i dont know if blade would get nasty with the male so whats peoples views on it. i want to make the right choice oh here are some pictures. the two pictures are of the female

Very cute, only from what I've heard on here its better to have one of each male/female! x

I'd have one of each, although to be honest I would personally wait for another 6 months to a year before introducing another dog to Blade.

However, if you feel you can cope, then go for it!

hi why wait 6 month iam no longer on my own so have the other half to help lol.

As I said, it's just my own personal preference, not advice! With the dog I have I'd have had a devil of a job coping with another pup when Dempsey was only about 8 or 9 months old.

That's why I said that if you feel you can cope, then go for it!

Aw beautiful puppies xx

Aww how cute you defo got to get her she is lovely looks just like kaiser did at that age

gosh that is a cute puppy... hard to resist too..
I woulg go female x

If I was to get another it would be female. So I had one of each

Jethro ( desexed male ) gets on better with other male staffys ( all the ones I know have been desexed too ).... all the female staffys we know always want to beat him up!!

I personally would get a female staff, at the age Blade is he will start to mature sexually very soon and there will be loads of testosterone flying around. If you get a boy, who will be significantly smaller and younger, you may find Blade starts to bully him and you could have problems when the other one reaches sexual maturity. However if you are having Blade and the puppy neutered then I shouldn't worry too much, choose whichever you would prefer.

I'm one of those crazy people who have two nutty girls together so I can assure you its can be done. You just need to watch them really carefully and be ready to correct any dominance.

ive chosen a girl but i wanted a male because his a big pup with markings ive not seen on a staffie before has tan black with white socks. there is mixed sayings about what sex to get. i could see two males fighting to be top dog though and i dont want that, so i think its going to be the female his the picture naming her zena

Glad you've made your decision, Zena's soooo cute and nice name too

just cant wait 5 weeks now lol.

Sooooooo cute!! 5 weeks will fly past

..bet you can't wait....countdown.........

its like xmas cant wait for blade to have a mate to play with. if i had it my way i would have a house full of staffys lol.

Congratulations

Looking forward to seeing zena grow up id love a black and tan female

are black and tan staffies rare because ive only seen kaiser and mine

I was thinking the same thing. I have never seen a black and tan staffy..except on here !!

heres a new pic

It's probably because tan isn't desirable according to the breed standard.
She looks lovely though and Kaiser is gorg too.

aawww.. that is tooooo cute for words!!

thanks 3 weeks old 5 weeks to go

bet the next 3 weeks can't come quick enough for you !!

I think they're pretty rare. Black and tan is not one of the standard colors, so I think it's probably a newer color. They are gorgeous dogs, though!!

Gorgeous puppy!! Wow!

can anybody tell if its a bully yet

Really hard to tell at this age, but maybe someone else can tell!

blade is a terrier so iam hoping zena will be a bully so i got both oh heres a vid of blade going mad at a cat strange noise had to post it lol

Haha, that's the hyena noise! Saxon's is more whimpery, but I guess a lot of Staffords do it!

I don't know what you mean by bully vs terrier, though.

bullys have kinda of bigger heads and more defined heads terrier have longer noses i think thats it if you look at my dog is a terrier

So they're just different styles of Staffy, interesting.
