Morning all

Today my family and I are going to visit a litter of 4 week old Staffies to choose a bitch as our new family pet.
We were originally going to have a 6/7 year old rescue staffy from the dogs trust but not knowing his history put us off it was a very hard decision not to adopt him but we believe it was the right decision.
My kids are 13 and 16 and were brought up with our first dog Bonnie a black lab.

What sort of things should we look out for with these pups and what questions should we ask? I did spend hours last night on your website researching and reading up on staffies.
The pups mum and dad are both KC regged and seem to have all the health checks in place ect, when i spoke with the breeder he did seem to ask me the right questions which makes me happy we are going to see a quality litter from a quality breeder.

that`s enough from me as i have go and get ready to view the pups.
