not my choice all the other pups was gone. and if i had it my way she be 8 weeks before i got her, i said in my post the womon who had the pups was feeding them and couldnt manage. shes ok anywayz shes settle in and my blade my pup is comfurting her !!

plus the mum turned on the pups !

How sad for her, I'm glad she's safe with you!

She looks gorgeous and i bet she is good hands.
Thats really young, I'm sorry if your going to breed dogs then you have to prepare for the worst like the mother rejecting them and you should be prepared to raise the pups together to an acceptable age.
I got everything i needed when it came to Cassie being pregant i got the forumal/bottles/heatmatts the whole weaning collecting incase Cassie wouldn't or couldn't feed her pups. It cost me a fortune and i never needed to use it, but i'm glad i got it just incase and i am not even a professional breeder. If those kind of things are too hard and they can not cope with the what ifs something bad happened then they shouldn't breed. As breeder isn't it their responaibility to take care of the mother and pups until they are old enough to leave, not palm them off.

Yes, but at least this one has gone to a good home, don't you agree?

She's gorgeous..........I want her.

I agree thats she has gone to a good home but it just annoys the heck out of me, what kind breeder is this woman?
I really hope you do not have any of the behavioural side affect of a pup leaving its siblins and mother that young, that would be a real shame and its becomming more and more common.

Hopefully, as she's now with another dog she'll still learn doggie behaviour.

We all know there are some people who shouldn't get involved in breeding, but they still do. You just have to hope that there are enough decent people out there to take on the pups!

I'm not optimistic and don't hope for the best, when it comes to anything i want facts there and then. I'd look at every single angle possible and then make a decission and outcome of that situation. I won't settle for... I hope things work out for the best.

No, and that's a huge plus for you! Unfortunately, not everybody's the same!

Well they should be when they got lives depending on them.

so are you sayin I shouldn't have the pup Ive done nothing wrong ive put a pup in a gd home if you want to slate me for that your choice

She is absolutely gorgeous, she looks so small next to Blade, it's easy to forget how small they once were lol
Poor little darlings having their mum turn on them but at least she has Blade to learn from. Glad they're getting on

Zena's beautiful and so lucky to have you to love n cherish her, Blade's gonna teach her how to go on and I reckon they'll be best of friends in time

I did say she has gone to good home in my other posts so i am abviousely not slating you
Most definatly you should have the pup you have done the right thing, the breeder on the other hand has not.

Arrrrrr Gorgeous
I bet Blade will be a great role model and they will end up the best of friends and partners in crime
Nice one for sharing the pics

Awww she is lovely poor little mite glad shes got you and blade to now nurture her shes very lucky.
Downright dispicable breeder pound notes in her eyes wonder if she will breed from the bitch again even though she has left the pups?

Some would argue that by paying for the dog you are supporting the breeder and her practices. I can only hope she has learned her lesson and never tries to breed her dogs again. You certainly are a responsible owner and you will do good by her. I know that I would have a hard time turning her away even knowing how irresponsible her breeder is. I am glad that Zena is with you, now and I just hope she has no health or behavioral problems from her poor breeding later in life. I'm really sorry about saying all of this, I really can't help myself, though, I have a problem with keeping my mouth shut (or fingers still) when it comes to issues like irresponsible breeders. It's very upsetting to me that people still breed dogs for the money instead of for the betterment of the breed and that is clearly what this woman has been doing.

Please feel free to completely ignore this post, I'm just venting and I'm really not trying to upset you or offend you.

Not going to be ignored, everyone has opinions, I for one haven't a clue on the subject, prefer to rescue.

But this isn't about that and for Xena, she has a new amazing home

well to be honest iam a bit upset and mad because i didnt ask to get the dog at 5 weeks but when the mum is turning on the pups and has an infected tete what can i do. let the pup get biten by her mum. i thought i was doing a good thing il sit with her all day and nite and make sure shes ok. i love her to bits and blade. shes eating loads and drinking. blade and zena are cudling in cage. iam going to the vets next week. shes doing ok shes strong running round chewing already. i dont blame the womon shes tryed her best shes been feeding all the pups by her self and hold down a job and kids. me and the g.f didnt have £1000 to get a proper breeders dog if i had the money i would have but iam happy with zena !!

As you should be, its off topic now. You have a new addition, she is lucky to have you. Enjoy her.

iam a bit pi**ed pff to honest i thought id put pics on and show people on here of my pup and i get slated when people dont know the full story

There not slating you, just breeders, which your not. x

Exactly, except I'd like to add that it's not all breeders. Just unethical ones, like this woman.

lovely pics, so cute

Awww please dont put any more pics on my heart wont take it and its gonna burst open

I want to nuzzle her chubby little puppy belly!!

awww so cute, what lovely pics

Adorable

I agree, 5 weeks IS young to be away from Mum, but if she was not caring for her pups and the lady could'nt cope then Pup is in the best place now. In a safe, secure, caring, loving home where she will thrive. Also having Blade around will be a great help in teaching her social skills too.

Looking forward to seeing more pics as she grows hint,hint

Anybody know of she will have a bully head or a long nose terrier cheers

She gorgeous i love the colouring I think she will get the bully head her muzzle is short and head is round, thatswhat i think anyways. How is she coming along with being so young?

The pics are absolutely gorgeous, and I think all anyone is saying is that the lady who bred her should have kept her longer & been more [prepared to do something about the situation!

You, on the other hand, are obviously doing very well by her, and if the pics are to be believed, she looks extremely contented & well cared for!

She'll have a fantstic home with you and Blade.

(p.s. If she suddenly goes missing overnight, she'll be with me! )

so beent taking more pics of the pooch so here we go lol

Sooooo beautiful! And Blade's looking good too! Does he like her?

Both are such stunners

zena beating blade up its soo funny, blade its so soft he opens his mouth but never bites her or chews on her so cute

I love it when Taz played with the pups they would run and jump on him and he would fall over onto his side so exaggerated as if the pups weighed a ton lol it was so adorable, Blade and Zena look gorgeous together, you must of raised him very well and Zena got a good owner and a gorgeous big brother well done.

awwwwww!!!

such a lovely pic of the 2 doggies.....hope to get some photos like that off my 2..

Hi
We are new Staffy puppy owners too and just wanted to say we have had the pups since they were very young too as the mum wouldnt have anything to do with them and the breeder couldnt cope either. I know it is not an ideal situation to be in but the way we see it they are far better off with loving people who have the time and patience to give them an excellent start than left to fend for themselves. So I for one say WELL DONE YOU Oh and he is beautiful
