Clumsy pup

My pup beau is 11 weeks old now and seems a bit clumsy! For instance not putting the brakes on when running around, she also seems to love going out in the garden and just throwing herself on the floor as if her legs have given up? I know this is probably normal and i'm being a little over sensitive, just never had a staff before and we just recently lost a spaniel through it having a bad seizure so every little thing with this beautiful small person seems a big deal. 

Sounds about right!! Our 4 month old is still the same. Does she fall over when having a scratch or when cleaning herself? Followed by the look that says "I meant to do that"?
Pete

Hi Pete, yes she does exactly that! She threw herself in a puddle on the patio yesterday and gave me a look of i meant to do that  

aww all sounds perfectly normal

I don't think they ever grow up

Welcome to the wonderful world of Staffys

I often splash through puddles without my wellies on and look at hubby like that

Ha ha, i hope your hubby wipes your wet feet on a towel before he lets you in the house  

Sounds very normal

Sounds normal to me too! I often wonder how Biscuit hasn't broken her legs when throwing herself on the floor mid run! She has no breaks at all and often runs into the house at full speed, goes sliding across the laminate floor and crashes into the wall! I wouldn't worry

Sounds like a perfectly normal staffie to me, Katy is always throwing herself on the floor & certainly hasn't got any brakes    

Thanks everyone, it's great to be able to ask other staffy owners about things,even if they do seem little

Always a good thing to get reassurance and peace of mind

Aww yes all totally normal

I love it when Milo does that - its so cute. He does it on the park too when he runs after a ball and catches it

Aw normal staffy behaviour, Gordon did this this morning running into the back of my legs
