Hello from me and Roxy Roo Bear

I adopted Roxy 2 years ago, she had been in kennels for 7 months and was at risk of being pts. When other people viewed her in the kennels she bounced out like a coiled spring and this put people off, I saw through this and knew instantly she was special. Out of kennels Roxy calmed almost immediately. She was completely untrained and unsocialised at first, but we quickly bonded and began a fantastic partnership! After a few weeks of good walks Roxy went lame, the vets were concerned and referred her to a specialist. The specialist confirmed that Roxy's leg bones had not developed properly and it was most likely she had been caged from birth. Pins were put in her back leg, she recovered well from the op, resumed long walks and she is now in tip top fitness and condition. After a few weeks of her op new pigmentation came out over her chest and neck, her pure white belly became completely mottled! The vets confirmed that even aged 2.5 Roxy had probably never been in the sun before!. This explains why it was such an exciting world for Roxy at first - cars, people, bikes, prams, wheelchairs, rivers, grass, mud, puddles, rain - and a million more things were new and exhilarating. I have now had Roxy for 2 years, she is my best friend, she has an amazing personality, she is smart, funny, loyal, cuddly - I adore her to bits and she is my baby. Roxy is my first staffy and she has taught me about the awesome qualities of this amazing breed. She now takes everything in her stride,I can teach her new tricks in a evening. We go everywhere we can together,we enjoy agility and other group sessions. Roxy loves people, she is not so keen on other dogs - and despite working with behaviourists to build her confidence around other dogs we have decided she might not ever be that sociable in the canine world. But that is ok, she has enough love for us and we have enough love for her, nothing else really matters x
