Will Alfie change?

Because Alfie is crossed with JRT, do you think he will grow anymore? Or is he destined to be a pocket sized pooch?

(slight exaggeration but he is diddy)

He's about a year old, isn't he? He might grow a bit more in height. I daresay he'll fill out quite a bit in width, as well.

Hope he never grows out of those big ears though! They're so cute!

Yeah he turned 1 last month! I always presumed he would stay the same size? I hope he does grow a bit though would be nice to see some change but I agree with the ears haha

if he is one then he might not grow taller and if he does it wont be much, but he'll get bigger (wider) for sure.

Ooh really? I hope so hes got a right skinny backside!

It's quite hard to say, he grow a little more as he is only 12 months old he certainly has time to fill out a bit more.

I don't think he'll change much at all, and I hope he doesn't. He's one of my forum favourites tbh.

There's a StaffxJRT in a Rescue Centre beside where I work and I'd love my Mum to take her. They are awesome!

Yes he'll most likely get wider, it's hard to be sure because he's a cross, but normally staffys fill out till they're 5 years old i think. Since he's a cross it's hard to tell you how much wider or how much taller he'll get.

Do you not even think he will fill out a bit Mat? People ask me if im underfeeding him because hes that skinny! (im definitely not hes a right greedy thing!)

Aw, bless him.

Guess we will just have to wait and see then!

He is not too skinny, not even slightely. Unfortunately most people think that fat dogs are healthier, which couldn't be further from the truth. From your picture yesterday he looks totally bang on to me.

My friend's Dad has a few StaffxJRT's and they are very similar to Alfie.

He might mature a bit with his overall build just. But you are not under feeding him.

i think you'll see a slight change in width/frame but its hard to say.. idk about taller though

Cheers Mat thats good to hear! I havent seen any JRT x before so not sure how they are supposed to look!

This is one of the pups my friend's Dad has. I would be certain Alfie looked like this as a pup. They are about 4-5 months now (ish) and they look very much like Alfie. I'll try and get more updated pictures this week if I can.



This boy is 9 weeks here

I reckon he will stay diddly lol

search them on google,, they come in all shapes and sizes.. the first one looks like alfie. cute

hard to say really, depends which side he will take most after, i would say he may just fill out now

but im same hope he keeps the ears as they are mega cute

Aww yeah the brindle ones do look like Alfie! Aww mat thats lovely, i wish id seen alfie as a pup!! Thanks mat would be great to see more pictures

I'm on it!

It would be good if he just filled out rather than growing in height but its not up to me

I think after they're around a year old, they don't really grow in height anymore, or certainly not a lot. He might fill out, but depends on what breed he takes after more.
