Im a new member AND i need help please?

heyyy there!
im Clare. I wont bore you with a detailed story about myself
I grew up with staffies but when sheba had to be put down due to old age and illness i refused to get another dog. (i was 18)
me and my partner have taken a staffy in as ours because our friend was given her when her previous owners decided they didnt want her anymore (their loss, our gain!)
however we have no papers or anything for her and im not entirely convinced she is a full staffy as we were told.
we've had her for about 4 months now, nothing has changed but she's suddenly started peeing on the floor in the kitchen. same spot and i clean it with a bioloigal solution everyday. she goes out at midnight and again at 7:30 in the morning but this peeing needs to stop!

any help on determining if Tia is a full staffy and tips on the pee situation would be greatly appreciated!

Hiya and welcome from me and Moo, my staffy x

Hello and welcome from me and the kids

Why are you concerned about her being a full staffy or not ??

Have you had her checked over at the vets regasrding the peeing , maybe she has an infection ??

Anything else changed recently that might have an impact on her bahaviour ??

It would help us a lot in our diagnosis if you posted lots and lots of pictures, we like pictures on here and oops you've got me I was just trying to con you into posting pictures. Sorry did I mention the p word again ??

Has she been to the vets for a UTI check?

I'm learning from the masters

im not really concerened about her being a full staffy im just curious. either way i love her and shes my third little girl (although theres times i prefer her to the actual kids)
i took her to the vets last week and she doesnt have an infection or anything. i was thinking its because of the cat but we've had the cat the same amount of time (another animal we couldnt let go to a rescue centre..)

Very cute staff there

Welcome too the forum from myself n the gang.

Shes a beauty.

as fpr the peeing situation, is it only in one place? if not and if its not infection then maybe you will have too go back too basics with her puppy trainning. x

Thankyou she's gorgeous , might be a staff but got to see at least 20 more pics before I can say for definite

I think as Shell says now you must go back to the basics with the toilet training

Hi and welcome from us and Suki.

hia from me and sasha

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

With regard to the peeing on the floor clean the area with washing detergent. Do not tell her off for doing it just clean it up and carry on as if it hasn't happened. Try going back to basics with her, take her outside every half hour and give lots of praise when she does go outside.

Hello and welcome from me and Pixee and more photos please, Tia looks very cute

Welcome. To me she looks full staff but without any papers it's impossible to tell...she could be 1/2 or 3/4 staff. Just stick to calling her a staff, as staff x can raise eyes (and she looks like she can pass for a full staff to those who don't know better lol)

welcome

Hello and welcome

just to let everyone whos been so helpful we've had two nights with no pee!!
gone back to basic puppy training, put some newspaper down but nothing! lots of praise when she goes outside although im sure my neighbours think im mental for saying "weeweepoopoo" in a really jolly voice in the early hours! (quarter past 6 this morning! working weekends is awful!)
