Maybe he is Emma, from looking at your we pup an the way my pup was at that age their shape is the exact same, wenever Kobe was 16 weeks he ate the skirting board so badly it had to be replaced lol, u had any problems like that yet?

Hello and welcome from me and Pixee. Kobe looks so handsome, he looks staffy to me, to be fair does it really matter if hes got some cross in him? Hes so cute and looks so sweet. My Pixee has got long legs, and she is staffy. She is a resuce, and boy we just love her to bits. They give you so much love back

Iv always been around dogs growing up in my mums, soon as i got my own place i new i was going to get a staff, an defo the best

He's a stunning bhoy regardless of pedigree, mate, though I do think he looks to be full Staffy. People have always been surprised at the size of my Cory(somewhere between 18 and 19 inches) and I know both of his parents and all his siblings, and they are all normal sized.
I wouldn't worry about it. HH

Cory's not the first Staff I've had, mate, but he is by far the most boisterous and even that hasn't stopped me going out and buying his nephew lol. They are, by miles the most loving and loyal breed I've ever had, and are just wee bundles of fun. Just be sure you're ready for a second lol HH

6 weeks?

Wow   What a little terror! hehe...so far I think we have been quite lucky on that side of things! He went through a stage of if we left him alone in his area in the utility room for anywhere from 5 minutes, he would pull all of his bedding out rag it around a bit, wee on it and then try to curl up on any dry bit...haha his face when we would come back, he always looked so sorry! And the noise he would make!
Anyone else think that they have a pig instead of a Staff sometimes?   

oldest bad breeder story in the book. The mothers will naturally start to wean them at that age but that doesnt mean that she has shunned them and they need to be rehomed.

See i wouldn't have a clue about any of that i just seen the we dog on gumtree an wanted him straight away, once i got him i was doing a lot of reading up about pups an i now no that they should be with their parents til at least 9 weeks? But i wouldn't change him for the world

I'd like a pound for every time I've heard that story from a 'breeder'. The truth is, the bitch starts to wean the pup naturally from about 4 or 5 weeks. That means the breeder has to start supplementing the pups' food & actually making an effort to see that they have 5 or 6 meals a day, plus worming paste. They realise that's getting expensive so they tell people the bitch rejected the pups & so they have to go! What they don;t tell you is that good breeders start to remove the pups from the mum for short intervals during the day, and gradually build the time up until they are quite independant from her at about 8 weeks old. But they are still learing lots of things about being a puppy from their siblings!

Hi and welcome from the kids and I
