HI

hi there i am new to the forum about 7 weeks ago we bought a staffie cross or what we thought was a cross i have had my doubts that she is a cross ,and i now think shes full staffie but i am not 100% sure ,she is about 19 month old and great with our son and cat we could not wish for a better dog she came with no papers at all, and not a lot of history, so could any one please let me know if shes full or cross, i am not fussed if she is full because she is the best dog we have ever had

hi thanks for the welcome, here are some pics , not the best but may help
to determine if she's a cross or full.

I couldn't say either way, they come in so many variations of size/build/colour but she is a stunner, nice one for getting them on here, someone else on here might help. I've always had rescues myself x

thank you she is very beautiful i have heard too that they come in variations of size ,coulor, she has very long legs the pics took some doing to up load them on here haha but i got there in the end, ROO is also a rescue we got her from a family that had rescued her from some other people who were abusing her which was awful, the family who we got her off were no longer able to keep her due to a house move.

thank you every one for the lovely welcome ,i am looking forward to enjoying the forum and reading about other peoples staffies and also posting lots about ROO and pics of her too

Mines also very long legged,I think its great when they get a forever home there are so many that need rescuing! I look forward to hearing more about her. Mine also had 2 homes before mine, her second owners where moving and wouldn't take her, so sad!! Welcome again and the pics with me where trail and error lol x

thanks glad to hear yours has a forever home too now, it is so sad when people cant take them with them when they move and also abuse them its just not on at all, thanks for the welcome and yeah up loading the pics was easier said than done hahahaha but iv worked it out now so shouldnt have a prob when i want to up load some more lol

like its been said staffys come in all diff shape and sizes to me she looks very much a staffy i dont think anyone would disagree and what ever she may be she still is a stunner enjoy her

thanks yes thats what iv heard before about them coming in all shapes and sizes and coulor etc etc, she has made our house more lively shes deffo fun to be around

Hi Roo, welcome, i think your staffy is a cutie, not sure but she looks full staffy, can u get a blood test done to find out for sure?, both my boys have been different sizes, Nitro was big and stocky(built like a brick out house) some used to say he was a fatty boompah lol while Harley is a shortstuff.

roo your house will never be the same again and by that i meen it will be a happy place as all they do is give love if you feel down staffys bring you up if you need a hug they will always be there if you want to tell your probs they will liston
and as hazel says you could have a blood test but at the end of the day that wont make her any more staff she is lovely and thats all you need to know

hi and thanks for the welcome thanks she is very sweet and a lot of fun lol ,i think thats one way i could find out if she is full, but tbh after having a good look around on here and hearing peoples views on size, shape, and coulor , i think i know shes full now, but thanks for that idea and its some thing i still may go ahead with, ROO was very skinny when we got her you could count every rib, but after having her a couple of weeks she started putting on weight lovely, she is very slight at the back end but very stocky at the front lots of muscle lol

hahaha ,no it hasnt been since we got her and we love it, i know what you mean ,when i was down last week she was there and didnt want to move bless her, she kept giving me her paw she made me smile and thats true a blood test wont make her any more staff at all, and thank you she is lovely

by your discripton stocky at the front and slight at the back she would come into the catigory of irish staff take it from me dont get her blood tested

bigwazza wrote:by your discripton stocky at the front and slight at the back she would come into the catigory of irish staff take it from me dont get her blood tested

ok thank you, i wont get her blood tested, is there a great diffrence with the irish staff if thats what she is? thanks

irish staffy is just slang for pitbull they are stocky front leaner back why chance, jepodise a lovely dog she is what she is (im not saying she is deff pitbull mix) but even if she were prop trained she would be no more aggresive than any other dog, its the owner not the dog that causes aggresion a dog just wants to please

i couldnt agree more thanks for that, we love her for who she is, she has never once growled at our cat or son, she adores them to bits as we do her, when i say slight at the back end i mean shes just a bit slender than her front end but shes nearly all the same width lol she was so thin when we got her shes filling out lovely now

roo scrub my last post looking at the last photo she looks to have boxer in her i should have seen it sooner in must be tyred lol
if this so its actully a common mix and they make excellent pets
