my pup blade and his brother

hello people right dont all hate me and get angry before i start i love my puppy but last week or so ive been a dispointed because i got him and my m8 got his brother. i got blade last i think he was the runt iam guessing so because he was the last his 5 month now and when i look at blade and his brother i cant belive how small he is and that he doesnt really look like a staffie his not got a bully head compared to his brother. ive always wanted a staffy and there heads what make them look good. will blade catch up or will he just be a small staffie without a bullyhead. cheers

he looks fine to me and still has loads of growing to do, i wouldn't worry

He is beautiful and has all the world to grown in. No its not the same but my mate had twins one was really small the other really big it took the small one a little bit but he caught up, they all grow at different times

scott he looks what a five month staff should look like on average the head starts to get bigger around 6-8 months so he still young and his brother must be a early developer without seing pic of the two of them together its hard to coment on the differance in size

Aww Blade is lovely, at the end of the day its not about what they look like really! He is so young and all staffords differ in size etc! As long as you love them who cares! If you want to show them then thats different but mine are rescues and just look like mutts!! Enjoy Blade hes gorgeous x

Aww blade is lovely i thought the same about kaiser he was the second to last born and was smaller than the first few that were born but actually he is the same size as his brothers now the heads tend to be the last things to fill out kaisers only grew big in the last 6 months or so so i wouldnt worry

My pup has the same head, he will grow into it dont worry give him time! he look fab as he is he'd look odd with a big staffy head and a puppy body dont ya think?

your blade hasn't got a bully head and never will, staffs come in all different shapes and sizes some with bully heads and some some with terrier heads, you have a lovely dog there with a terrier looking head,

I dont get why he wont have a bully head when his mum and dad are both bullys i love my pup but a disapointed
About not having a bully head thats what i like about staffys

Don't be disappointed. His head may never be huge, but it will strngthen with age & he'll look every inch a stafford in the end!

Have you looked back at the grand parents/ g.granparents? Sometimes a little way back there are terrier-types & that may come through in another generation.

Anyway, wait & see - give it another 4 or 5 months & then compare some pics - you'll see how much he'll change in that time. If he still has a terrier-type head, so what? He still looks like a fine staffy!

Thanks il have a look. I know his a nice dog maybe iam been a daft with head thing everybody i know and dogs around here have bully heads and looks so good lol. I only paid £300 for him because he was last. But in march me and the other are looking into getting a blue one next but not to breed them iam into making money of a dog

My Bandit as a youngster had a very terrier head. By the time he was mature, although it was never huge, you could never have mistaken him for anything other than a staff! His head was a great shape & his jaws incredibly strong, but he was more terrier than bull! Have a look ............

What a nice dog love the head so thats a terrier head if so doesnt look that bad. Got a question does having a terrier head make his jaw and locking on to his tug toys any less than a bully head.

no shouldn't thing so that has go to do with his jaw muscles

Doesn't make any difference whatsoever! In fact if anything the terrier-types seem to 'lock on' harder than the bully types - just my personal opinion.

the bully type staff has more pronounced cheek muscles than the terriers.
