Hi & Welcome from Flo and me   

I've always been led to believe that opposites get on better but I've only ever had one at a time.

Hi and welcome from me and Daisy   

I would say boy as generally that works best but obviously you'll need to be careful so no accidents occur, once he's old enough!

Welcome from Marquez and me.

Not staffies, but many years ago we had mother and son Rottweilers at home with us and absolutely no problems. Mum was definitely boss but we never had any issues but they were both lovely with beautiful temperaments.

Hopefully someone else can chime in and share their experiences.

hi & welcome to the forum

Hello and a warm welcome from me and Stella  

The only help I can offer is a friend who has grand mother, mother and daughter dog de bordeaux and has no problems.

When my girl has a litter i will be keeping a female which i will have 3 females. Would be choosing the right temperament for your household.

Only experience of this I have had was years ago when I was a bit of a kid, my uncle Had a JRT, Scamp. She had pups and he kept a boy (Whiskey). They had an 'accident' shall we say and Scamp fell pregnant. She had 5 pups all of which except for 1 were born with deformed noses and died soon after birth because they couldn't breathe properly. The one that survived he also kept and called her Sherry. Whiskey was neutered after this and they all got along fine. I have known people with mother and daughter that have lived together happily too.

Thanks guys, Well the boy I wanted to keep has gone to my cousin, so I am stoked he will stay in the family.... so my flatmate wanted to keep a girl, fingers crossed they get on!  Or I guess I will be finding a new house mate!!     He kept Minnie, she has a lot of attitude, so keep you posted!
