Hi and welcome from me and mine

Staffies can make all sorts of weird and wonderful noises. Grunts are a staffie speciality! Unless you see other signs that Tia is uncomfortable or distressed, I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi Liz,thank you so much for your reply.Tia isn't showing any signs of distress,and is VERY lively!!...it seems to only be when she sleeps

hia from me and Sasha as said i really would'nt worry too much i swear staffies think they are little piglets

Hiya Stella and sasha :)Lol,think they do,seems BABE would be more of an appropriate name lol

Hi ya Deb, welcome to the forum from Flo & me

Grunting, snoring, howling, kicking legs... you name it they do it

lol..Hiya Ian and Flo .... and lick ! lol..nice to meet you

Hi,my staffy gets very warm and her breathing gets fast..is that normal too?

Hiya from me and Vinnie, if no other signs of discomfort as said above then very normal,,,,,,,, its when the other end starts to grunt you may need a clothes peg or 2

hiya Inez and Vinnie ...oh that's already happening

Hi from me & Katy, grunting, snorting, sighing are normal noises for our babies I call Katy the warthog for the noises she makes Tia looks gorgeous

Hiya Jen and katy its like having your own little piglet lol...thank you

My past 2 of staffies at all ages have been nicknamed Miss Piggy because of the grunting and squeaky noises and little Evie is carrying on the tradition

Hi I had my pup on Sunday,she already had the name,Tia,but I wasn't really keen on it....so now after some thought she has a new name , BELLA

Hey Mary ...evie is gorgeous!

Thank you so is Bella - love the Staffy slouching on a chair photo so typical!

yes grunting out both ends is common just wait till you start to feed mackarel its a gas mask you need not a clothes peg

haha mia,I can totally believe that!! thank you Mary,she's thinking she's the lady of the manor :p haha

Morning from me and Bella
could anyone advise about 'mouthing' please? Bella does it alot,sometimes it hurts ..she has a mad half hour racing around the house too,almost knocking me flying ! lol

redirect her to a toy id also use frozen veg to soothe gums and perhaps a kong and frozen tea towel mia still has zoomies shes 13

I'm going through this with Evie rightward - Crystal's tips on redirecting and frozen carrots and tea towels is spot on its working well with my little crocodile

thank you both very much for the help,i will try that,and as far as zoomies lol,i'll steer clear on those days lol..

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