Hi and welcome from me and Daisy   Yes at that age she certainly could be, it is common to go off their food and act a little strangely x

Hi we've had male staffs first female and shes so affectionate lol. Always wanting cuddles but more so past few days n crying when leaving the roo.    

Is there anything I can do to help/sooth her and make her feel more comfortable or comfy?

I don't think there really is as its just her hormones, I would just keep to a normal routine, give her space if she wants it and cuddles if she needs them xx

  Give her space lol I wish shed give me some haha. Shes being readdy needy and full of cuddles and kisses but just seems a bit down like any normal fmale during that time. Shes just like her mum needy and down makes me feel depressed looking at them sad eyes lol. Shes always been the most affectionate pet ive know but its getting to the point where shes waking me up in the night for a cuddle   lol

Awww bless her   

Daisy is a rescue and had her first season just after I got her so couldn't tell how different she was, then of course I had her spayed after that, part of the rescue agreement.

We've agreed one litter one of us being baron is enough lol. Although id like to sleep though and not find a dog curled up on my head and licking my face at 4 am lol

Your going to breed her?

Not till shes about 2 don't want to put that much strain on her whilst shes young and only fair to let her have a lttter

Oh yes I didn't mean now but she doesn't need to have a litter even when she is older, have a read of this

But she would be a wonderful dog to breed with her temprament though

There is so much more to think about though, the only reason to breed should be to improve the breed as a whole, is she KC registered? Do you have any experience with breeding? so many things can go wrong x

My partners son has her mum and the full litter have been spot on

No disrespect but she doesn't need to have a litter to fullfill her, just because you've seen the rest of the littler and their spot on doesn't mean you should breed, by the sounds of things, she's not kc registered (forgive if I'm wrong) therefore she won't be health tested. Their are terrible, heartbreaking illnesses that a dog can get because their parents have no health test, please please reconsider breeding her, there are thousands of Staffords in rescues and thousands put to death every year because even if every home in the uk took one there still isn't enough homes.
