IN any case, Staffy puppies are constantly coming in to many shelters. You could tell them you are looking for a boy pup and they can get in touch when they get one in.

How exciting you are getting a new dog - a whole new adventure!

hia from me and sasha   ,so sorry for your loss and good luck on the search for your new pup   

Hi and welcome from the girlies and me

Hi from me and Alfie

Hello and welcome to the forum from me and Lula

Hi ya from me and beau from the black country!

Hi and welcome from Oz and me, really sorry for your loss and great news about the rescue, would you not consider another rescue lots out there?

markrobo isthe staffyshop in darlaston still open,they used to have adverts for pups,itsbeen a long time since i was up that way.

we did consider another rescue,but wedecided if we have a pup we will be able to bring it up our way,with a rescue it will probably have some bad habits that may be too hard to repair.

Orite al nah mate he works from home now but he still dors all the same stuff he done all Michael owens collars for his staffs ! Were about did you live in the black country in live down the green Darlaston

Hi and welcome to the forum from me and the zoo xx

Personal opinion but why not go to the shelters. They're full of Staffs of all ages

well i rang happy staffy in hagley nr stourbridge and i have an appointment to meet tomorow to look at 3 potential dogs so hopefully i might find my new best mate,fingers crossed.all the the dogs are under 5 years old and are all neutered,injected,fleed,wormed and micro chipped.

Gud luck for tomoz alan hope you get a god sorted out mate

I mean DOG hehehe!

V interested to know what happens...

went to happy staffies in hagley today,looked at several dogs and decided to rescue a 2 year old red male called ozzie,hes a bit exciteable but time will help with that,the rescue are doing a home check this weekend so hopefully my new best mate will be with me early next week.

Fab news hope the home visit goes well. Great thing you have done by rescuing   

My 7 year old bitch was diagnosed with pyometra this morning , why havnt i heard of this before she is in theatre at this moment hopefully comes out fine , there should be more done to raise awareness for this !!! Ps this is my 1st time on here

I am very impressed indeed with your quick work regarding the rescue service. Tell us all about the dog. How did you choose him?

Wishing you both all the best of luck, please let us know what happens. You must be excited.

Jase - I'm so sorry about what is happening with your dog. It's probably best to introduce yourself on your own thread. I'm sure other Staffy owners will know something about this condition. Please let us know any updates.

if you google happy staffies you can see him on there look for ozzie,we didlike another one who was good on the lead but when we got back he snapped at the kennel attendant and after a bit of chatting he did say the dog has done it before.

I've had a quick look.

Good God, he looks in great shape.

I love his black snout.

You don't want a bite-y dog.

I was also in two minds when I took Rupert home (supposedly to foster). He is the best.

Looking forward to the update.

Hiya and welcome. Sorry to hear your sad news. But well done on the rescue. Fingers and paws crossed all works out for you all. My hubby is black country too.

Hi and welcome

due to no fault of our own the rescue fell through so we are now looking for a pup if anyone knows of any please.

Hello Alan

I'm very sorry that this fell through. What happened?

I'm very impressed with your proactive approach. Rescues are constantly getting puppies in. There are lots of pups out there and one will cross your path very shortly, I'm sure.

alan go on pets4homes mate put your post code in and it tells you all the dogs in your area for sale pups and adult dogs good luck pal let us know how you get on mate
