Hello everyone

Hello, I'm a new member to this forum so let me introduce myself.

I'm hazel. Im from the south west of England.
I've had staffies all my life, and they are the best dogs in my personal opinion.

My current Staffie is 11 months old and is a black bitch called Dolly. She is the sweetest little thing and loves her belly tickled all the time. She likes to take up all of the bed and has to have sleep under the blankets making sure she's cuddled up to me. Ive only had her since October 2014. She loves to go for long walks and she likes horses a lot. It feels as if I've had her years, she's very protective of me and she literally has to go wherever i go. She's also taught herself to open and close doors, how she taught herself that I will never know.

My previous Staffie was a red bitch called Ruby who was bought for my birthday in 2011. Sadly she got cancer in early January 2012 when she was just over a year old. The vets wasn't going to operate on her due to the size of the cancer and how risky the operation would be, but luckily my vet saved her life, the sad thing was she only had up to 2 years left as the cancer was going to come back. So in late July 2014 she atarted developing another small lump in the exact same place as before. So I took her to the vet to get checked out and he said take her home and enjoy her. She died on 22nd October 2014, the day before her 3rd birthday. The cancer grew to big and ruptured something causing an internal bleed. She was my best friend and my little girl and she always will be in my heart.

the first 2 staffies I had were one brindle bitch and one black Staffie, who were such an item. Wouldn't go anywhere without eachother.

Apart from dolly, my family also owns 2 gorgeous English bullterriers, once 9 month old brindle and white and one 8 year old who is pure White.

Thanks for reading,
Hazel and Dolly x
