Hello and welcome from me and the kids

Do you have papers for the dog? It's hard to tell without espically if the dog is young and welcome from us and Suki.

hi wow i dint think people would reply so quick thanks for the nice welcome i dont have no papers for the dog i was on gumtree and i seen him on there i went to go see him and he had been attacked by there other dog they basicly just kept him in the tiniest garden and then to the kitchen he was so thin i dint want to see him in pain so i took him hes my first staffy

.

Well done on the rescue. If you live in an area with breed specific legislation I would just say he is a Staffy X and not mention pitbull. As long as he is well trained and cared for you shouldn't have any problems.

yeah thats what i was thinkin i was just worried as i have nephews around all the time i just dint have the heart to leave him there i have a jack russel aswell and they play nice and walk together he as a really good temprament to say he been bit ect i dont think i would

Firstly ignore the pit comments and don't go shouting about it , a pic would help a little but to be honest until he gets a little older it will be hard to tell. The best you can do for him now is to make sure you socialise him and train him well and don't give anyone any cause to think he is anything other than a nice well behaved dog

was just in the middle of this post when I saw J's not editing as you can see the comments are the same. You have to assume he could be a cross without papers but just concentrate on keeping him healthy and well behaved

yeah ive had him on lots of walks and fed him ect the person i got him off said he was 6 months but not sure heres a picture of him https://i.servimg.com/u/f48/17/68/60/38/imag_012.jpg

he dont look like he has cuts on his face but he does i will take some close ups later

You shouldn't worry about the kids other than the precutions you would take with any dog , just because somebody has mentioned Pit doesn't mean you have a vicious dog. Like all dogs its the way they are brought up and handled , nothing more , nothing less. I used to be quite naive before joining the forum and it's a shame the Pit Bull has come under BSL as it can be just as good a breed to own as a staff when handled correctly, but lets say thats the last time the name is mentioned here

How old is he (he's a good looking dog by the way )

thanks and they told me he was 6 months

thanks dave and jstaff for awnserin me so quickly and the friendly welcome

Welcome to the forum from me and my girls Kita & Izzy

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

Hiya from me and Moo

Hi & welcome.

He's a gorgeous boy! They were probably right about his age - he looks around 6 months. He isn't a pure staff, though, I don't think - who knows what he's crossed with!

When you're posting pics, try using photobucket - that way the photo comes directly on to your post here & we don't need to click on to another site! Here's how...

Hi there welcome!

No matter your dogs breed just say as far as you know its a staffy cross. I don't personally see any Pitbull in him (pitbulls are few and far between anyway) but he would still be classed as type. Just keep up good training and you should never have a problem.

hello all nice to meet u all from me rocky and patch thanks for the advice im goin to try this photo bucket later and upload more thanks for the advice ect

He's a good looking boy but he looks too big to be a Staffy. I would stay with the Staffy Cross expination just to be safe. He also looks a bit older than 6 months.

yeah im just goin to say staffy cross at the vets the person i got him off said he was 7 months to begin with then said he worked it out to be 6 months 2 weeks but that dont mater hes a lovely dog keeps mouthin play nippin any ideas how to stop that or will it just go in time

It should go in time if he doesn't get any mileage out of it.
Mine used to nip as a youngster and he used to get a firm "no", then ignored for a few minutes.
He soon worked out that nipping got him nowhere.

Yes, that's usually the best way to stop it. It might take a few repetitions, but he'll get there!

thanks all for the advice and nice to meet u all from me and the boys

Hi and welcome, really like his color (Just like Callie's mom, love the red). Good for you for taking him home! I loved your story.

The pits I know here in the US have been lovely. I know the problems with BSL in the UK but they're great dogs.
