Welcome from Darcy and me, sorry I've only had a girlie

Hiya from me and Vinnie well done on the rescue he is gorgeous. No proof that castration calms down Males and he is still very young, if you do decide to go ahead then 18/24 months is the right time   

Hi and Welcome from Flo and me.

Hi and welcome from me and Daisy   Faber is gorgeous, well done on the rescue   

I also have a girl but I don't think there are any guarantees that castration calms them down. Did the rescue not specify that he had to done?

thank you all for the welcome the dogs home we got him from didn't really give us much information about him at all,hopefully we can give him a better life now than what he had before just need to get help with training him

Hi and welcome from us and Suki. Take a look at the website it has lots of excelllent training tips

Welcome from Bane and I Well done on the rescue! I am surprised they let you have him without being castrated. I have heard mixed views on the subject, but we have decided to wait/possibly not have Bane done. Depending on his background he may just not be used to other dogs, people, animals, kids...you never know what he has been through so it will just take time to train him and for him to adapt to new surroundings

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

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me

hia from me and sasha   aww great picture   

Hi and a very warm welcome or my Oz and me, I'm also surprised they didn't do all that before you got him? Oz was already done so sory can't give you any advice but what others have said will be correct for you

Welcome from me and Alfie.
Alfie was done before we got him but due to not enough walks and socialisation he is not good with other dogs.

Howdy from Jed and I   

R was already neutered and is fine with other dogs except v occasionally when he is under the weather and bumps into an unneutered male.

Do you mean your dog is aggressive or just exuberant and wants to play constantly with every dog he meets for as long as possible?

R was like that and staffy pups love playing in general (my experience).

How did you end up rescuing?

Hi and welcome from me and my two

Hi all thank you for the welcome we had been talking about getting a dog for a while & we have both had staffys before and so we thought we would go to a dogs home & try and give another dog a second chance in life
