this is just a guess 1/2 year old

yes thanks and does he look like a full breed to you thank you ? thanks

he look an staffy to me

he looks a full staff and i would say around 14 to 16 months old as he still looks like he is filling out

Thanks for your comment i feel better inside when i no other staffy owners give there comments i fort he was something around that age and is it true that staffs heads dont split they just grow muscles on there head that makes it look like it split

I have always been under the impression that a staffs head most certainly does not split its just as u said the muscels start forming and defining, but when i mentioned it on here everyone said no there heads splits....but i didnt wanna start another debate at the time lol. As far as i am aware it does not split lol
This is a weird question but in that second pic is he crouching down to have a wee?? Oh and he doesnt look like a cross to me either x

yes he haveing a pee lol its the only time he stays still for photos lol and i googled it there heads dont split its just a saying it muscles that give the look of there head spliting

He still look pretty young in te face to me so I would guess that he is between 1 years old to 16 months old
He is a gorgeous looking staffy. I would also say both his mum & dad where staffs

You're right, their heads most definitely don't split!! They form muscles which attach at the top of the skull, unlike other breeds which attack lower down, and it gives them that indent on the top of the head.

He looks like a staff to me, and I'd say he looks around 12-18 months old. Quite a terrier type, but should fill out a bit more in the next 6 months to a year.

just had a look at your pick of him eating a tree lol
he 100% staff no doubts and i would say your bang on with 14/16 months

thaks all for the comments and i pritty sure now around how old he is and terrier type does that mean he a small staff can someone please expain a terrier type thanks

Doesn't necessarily mean small. Just means that he won't be quite as bulky as a 'bully' type. Terrier types tend to have longer legs, a slighter smaller head (but still big lol!) and are less bulky in the body. My old boy Bandit was terrier type - have a look here........

Does he always crouch down like that 2 wee? most start cocking thier legs around 12-18 months...? x

Dempsey's nearly 2 years old now, and he still crouches like that if there's nothing to cock his leg up - sheer laziness!!

Id say he was netween a year and 18months and does look like he is gong to fill out more he looks like a full staff to me too kaiser stated getting filling out between 16 months and 2 years he is a lovely boy anyway

yer he only crouches like tht when there is nothing to put is leg up and how much would you say he mightg be a terrier type i have no idea thanks

He's ceratinly terrier type at the moment. He'll fill out in the next 6 months to a yaer, I should think.

I've always prefered the terrier types myself.

He looks the same age as my previous staff when i rescued him, vets said he was roughly 14months old

He looks to me about 12- 18 months old hes lovely. the staffordshire bull terrier is 50/50 terrier and bull mixed together so when someone says hes more terrier then he might be 60/40 at his age he wont grow anymore neither will his head but he will change shape a little with muscle development. You can never change his size/shape its determined by his genetic formation but you can ensure he is fit and healthy by excercise feeding ect. To me he is slightly more of terrier but still a lovely boy

ok so he defantly aterrier type then so now i understand and most peaople av been saying he is around 14 -16 months old thanks

Its really hard to tell though from a photo have a look at his teeth they should be white for a young dog not discoloured also check see if he has any grey especially under his mouth on his chin if he does hes probably older than what everyones saying

yes his teeth are pure white and there is only a tiny bit of gray no a lot

If hes grey under his mouth I think he is older some can grey early but I think about 4/5 years dont know what everyone else thinks hes a nice boy though and is good with the rabbit

yes i no wat you mean but he defantly still very young i cant explaine how much i no he still young but also sadly the rabbit died on the 12th december

Awww sorry to hear that

ano yer but ive burried the rabbit were i take Ozzy for his walks on feild

Best way to tell a dogs age is by looking at it's teeth. A dog over 18months will just start to build up a little plaque on their teeth. If they are still very pearly white then they are normally aout 12 months.

Not necessarily - depends what the dog's been fed on, and whether it's had its teeth cleaned.

He's still immature as he's peeing like a pup in one of the pic's. nice looking boy all the same

My boy is 8 and will pee like that if there is nothing to cock his leg up to, I think its a difficult one to guess

thanks all again for the replys and he does pee like tht most of the time even wen there is things there to pee up againts but does also cok the leg up aswell but he is still rafer young is teeth are pure white and i can see how young he is by looking at him and he is only just turing a bit more chunky evry now and then thanks

Oh well you have him in the flesh and you are best to judge so hopefully you will have many happy years together, good luck

al keep him forever n eva and thanks

You do right Danny, thats what its all about. Enjoy your boy for him

i do enjoy him he brill he sat staring at me right now makeing them sort of grumbley growling noises TALKIN kinda thing lol love it wen he does tht lol

Pure bred about 1 year old would be better if i could see his teeth though.

nice1 im starting to feel more convident about the age most ppl are saying Ozzy is around 1 yrs old i will try and get a pic up of his teeth if he will let me

I know I keep banging on about this, but the teeth can be very misleading. A dog who has had a good diet & regular teeth brushing (or a dog fed raw meaty bones with the ocasional teeth brushing) will have sparkling white & clean teeth. A young dog fed on tinned food without his teeth being brushed will have yellowish teeth with a tartar build up.

You can only correctly tell age from teeth in a horse, and even then it won't be totally accurate!!
