Carly look like a full staffy?

Hi everyone, we recently bought our 11 week old staffy Carly. My neighbour who thinks she is an expert on all things puppy asked us what she's crossed with Carly's mum was a full staffy as we saw her when we picked her up but they said the dad had ran off a few weeks before. They showed us a picture of him and he was obviously a full staffy. I'm just wondering if the people might have been fibbing a bit and the dad is unknown?? I don't care if she turns out to not be a full staffy as she is part of the family now. Just curious what others think. Thanks

look like a staffy to me

Thanks She actually has more wrinkles than that and when she stands to attention in the garden she looks even better lol Especially the ''just had an accident'' walk hehe

Nah I'm just kidding, she looks like a Staff to me, the colours are cool though. Or is that a trick of the light? She's adorable though, look at those eyes

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky me.

Carly is very cute whatever she turns out to be, so long as she is loved what does it matter anyway

Its hard to tell when they are pups, but looks like a staff to me..

Adorable Carly's a Stafford dear, Your bound to come across more of these breed experts as Carly matures.
The idiots round my area think Mayjas a pit bull

Looks like a staff to me but at that age it's hard to tell.

Lot's of replies cheers guys and gals. Yea there is always one of those people that 'know everything' when it comes to dogs

She looks very much a staff, although her colouring is very unusual! I'd love to see some more pics of her!

You have to be kidding....

Matt , we need some more pics of Carly so we can make a good assessment Failing this we have your IP address so we come and take her away for examination , to be returned ........................................sometime at a later date

Just looked at the pic again , does she have some black on her sides or is it a trick of the light as Tara asked ??

For comparison this is all of Tommy's family , notice all the different features of them all but all similar and you can see Carly carries a lot of similarities, certainly the ears and the snout , and the angel eyes and the paws...need we go on, in fact she is pretty much identical to Totty (with the red, white and blue collar). Tommy is bottom left

Hi and Welcome, she looks Staffy to me . She's stunning

Well, her mother was Tan and her father pure black so I don't know if that's the reason? It is more of a trick of the light though. The camera makes the black look darker than it is. She does indeed have faded black on her neck though and her tan coloring is darker around her mid section. Is this really that unusual? and could this be a sign she is a cross?

Gorgeous dogs you have there!

I know this is an old post, so don't know if anyone will see this.. I'm so happy someone has a staffy with the same colouring as my little girl, and asked the same question! I have been asked as well. My babys parents were a pure staff and an amstaff.. But still makes her a staffy right!
You've got a beautiful girl there

Hi Akasha. I forgot about this post as it was in 2012 hehe Carly has grown into an amazing looking staffy. Soppy as hell, just how a staffy should be. She's now pregnant (I think). Won't know properly until we get her scanned at the end of the month at the vet. The dad is a beautiful example of the breed and just as daft as she is. She will only be having one litter then getting spayed. We also have a fully qualified vet on hand every step of the way. No back yard breeding here lol See so many people breed their dogs to death to make a few quid. Which is sad.

I'm sure your pooch will turn out to be a stunner too
