ok weight?

Is 7kg in weight ok for a 5month old female staffy? I think I've worked it out right. I'm a bit useless with weight so don't know if this is a good weight or not?

My bitch is 24 weeks and 12.8kg. Nicely covered and vet's happy. I think it varies lots from pup to pup, Tilly was the biggest of her litter by a long shot.

Photos are a better way to tell

7kg does seem a bit lightweight but pictures would be better way to tell

For some reason I can't on my phone but as soon as my laptops back from being fixed ill put some up, she was the 2nd of the runt of the litter. She don't look chunky or filled out, compared to every other staffy pup I've seen, I got a pic of her mum and dad, also seen them in person too, dad very stocky pure red, mum big brindle. Just hope she fills out more, alot of people say she don't look like a staff. Hopefully soon you can all see for your selfs what you think of her and put my mind at ease

Yes, a pic would be better. Is your vet happy with her weight?

i think noah was 12kg at 5 months, but he's staying about the same but getting taller.

yeah dont worry too much they fill out very late on.. She will gradually fill out after 8 months usually.. She'll be like her mum or father dont worry

Try not to listen to people who say's she dont look staffy. My friends staffy bitch is 8months and tiny, not sure of her weight mind, but very small. And she's lush, I'll try and get a pic of her xxx

For example, Kennys mam is 14 inchs, his dad 16 inchs, all kennys litter mates are bang on standard for height, yet Kenny is 18 inchs. There could be smaller dogs in her ped, so dont worry. I think you've got yourself a neat little femine bitch x

Thank you all very reasurring. I had her at 9 weeks and she's been Brill from day one, fully house trained now, eats well, brilliant on the lead, fab with my little 2 year old boy. Couldn't ask for a better dog my first staffy aswell. Alot said she looked like a jack Russell when she was smaller lol. Anyone know of any other way to upload a picture? Email someone maybe with one? Determined to put one up now!

will that help ^

If you can send the picture by email, you can send it to me and I'll upload it for you

If you cant do it through photo bucket because of your laptop,Could you put her on the forums fb page through your phone. i can download it for you then x

Ty dragonthestaffy, can I email it to U? Will probably be quicker

My bitch is 8kg at 4.5 months.

Yes go ahead the email is (my xbox email )
Let me know when you sent and I'll post it here for you.

sent, hope its worked. Ty so much

P.s ps3 all the way

Here it is the pictures
Oh and by the way I meant ps3 but I don't play ps3 often but that use to be my ps3 email, but I've been playing xbox more than ps3 now.

She's a cutee, Looks all good to me

So definitely a staffy then? Lol obviously happy no matter how big or small she will be, just thought id check thank you so much Joe! You are a star

are the owners of the mum and dad saying that they are staffs?

Yeah I have the owner on fb so emailed her as I was concerned when people said she didn't look like a staff, she said she is a pure staff.

Also that's the mum and dad on the second picture, I met them when I went to collect Tia.

well if her parents were not KC registered you'll never know if she has something else in her.. But pups grow so differently i couldnt say no she's not a staff yet.

(In the first picture her ears are not typical of staff's but in the 3rd pic they are so its hard to tell. Her dad's a staff but i cant tell by the mum.)

Her dad is quite handsome.
Your girl is about 4 months now right? She'll start filling out soon don't worry, by the time she gets to 1 year old, you'll see a massive difference.

yeah she'll change so much

Oh not to mention my boy looked a lot like a Jack Russell when we got him, he was under weight and what not (probably the reason the dude wanted to get ride of the dog) and he's turning out to be very nice built.
He's quite short and has some nice muscle definition, but when we got him at 1 year and 2 months or so, he looked way different than he does now, some people even thought he was a Jack Russell, now people walk past us and say ''Nice Staffy you have'', just keep on feeding her the right amount and she'll soon start to fill out and put on more weight.

I was convinced i bought a chiwawa lol because he was so thin and underfed

I seen the picture, he was really in bad conditions when you got him... He's turned out to be such a handsome lad.

cheers mate same to yours

Joe I've sent U a pic of her mum and dad sitting up. It ok to post for me please so Jason can see the mum a bit better

Omg didn't realise there was another page of comments haha. Sorry, but thanks all, my nan thinks she might be cross, hate this! Well only time will tell when she's bigger

Here you go:

whats wrong with a staffy cross though? nothing. there all great

the parents both look like staffies, she as a lot of growing and filling out to do, oh and by the way she's cute

Ok if im totally honest. The mum is probably not pure staff, judging by how narrow/lean she is from typical staffs. She is defiantly is of staffy sort though.. I could be completely wrong so i apologize, but really nothing is a pure breed unless you have papers or the parents have papers.
Your girl will grow as big as her mum at least so dont worry

Jason wrote:whats wrong with a staffy cross though? nothing. there all great

Totally agree, their all special

I had a staffy cross once and he was a legend

jase, maybe she is a bit skinny after giving birth and looking after a bunch o puppies? just a thought

My old girl was a staffy cross, she was the best, and lived until she was 16, paers or no papers, i love them

She looks staffy to me. sorry if im off topic, but when i look at staffy's from years ago, their heads were very different from a staffy of today.

yeah again this is totally true how they've changed to much.. So i cant judge too much on a picture like that.
But then again we'll never know if it is pure staff as there are no papers

I'll ask the lady if maybe she has papers for hers? Might help to tell if both parents are pure staffs. I love her so much, she's comical, energetic, cheeky and so behaved! For my first staff she has made me love them even more.

aww im really glad. She is stunning.

thank you
