Caryll, he was a very handsome boy and so cute as a puppy. Thankfully we always have our pics as memories

Thanks for those Caryll, what great memories! But seriously, should Bandit really be chewing the tire swing in the park Xx

I've got a scanner, so I scanned the pics onto the computer & then on to photobucket.

My oh will be delighted that you called him a handsome devil!

Ah, well, that was a nasty habit he got into, that I really should have stopped (shouldn't really have let it start!), but it was so funny! He used to really bark & snarl while he was doing it. He was quite well behaved, though, so if there were children on the swings I just yelled out "No!" or just called him back. He used to do the same thing with low branches on trees!

Love the photo of him eating the tire swing.

Awww what a gorgeous dog!! his lovely! .. i should scan some of my nan and g.dad's old staffy shandy she was gorg! and had a gorg litter too!

What a gorgeous little pup he was, and a stunning boy as he matured.

Thank-you for sharing

I have to scan Kita's young photos as I didn't have a digital camera till she was about 6yrs old. Unfortunately I lost some of her early years in a house fire.

Funny enough, the kids all thought it was dead funny! It was the parents I had to be careful of, although most of them knew him in the end & didn't mind. Back in those days staffs weren't well known in Ealing and certainly didn't have the reputation they have now. So once they got to know him, they were all fine about him.

What a shame things have changed so much.

Awww bandits lovely Caryll and we never forget the memories

Stunning dog, a 'proper' stafford no short stumpy legs and squat noses here!

Even then, though, he was considered a 'terrier type'. Plenty of bully types winning in the '80s
