Isn't she too small?
Isn't she too small for a 5,5 month staffordshire terrier?

She may not be, she'll probably continue to grow for at least another 6-12 months

Re: Isn't she too small?
It's hard to get a real feel for her size from that shot but she doesn't look tiny. Although lots of big dogs are being bred now, the breed standard for the staffie is for a smaller, compact dog standing between 36-42cm as an adult.
Most importantly, she looks a great shape and in great shape. And she's very pretty!

Re: Isn't she too small?
Ivan,don't go worrying about her size.It is not easy to get an accurate indication of her size by a photo,but the way I see her she looks pretty good as far as height is concerned,and looks a well covered fit looking young bitch for 5 months.At that age she is growing bone,don't worry about the build that will come as she matures.
I have bred and shown the staffy for nearly 30 years and as you may guess I have always aimed to bred to the documented standard laid down by the Kennel Club,which is 14 inches ( 35 cm) to the shoulder for a bitch, and 16 inches ( 41 cm) for a male.I know these are the guide lines for the show ring,but the most important thing is to keep her well fed,healthy,and well exercised,and you won't go far wrong.

Re: Isn't she too small?
she's lovely.
dogs often go through a teenager-ish sort of phase where they grow upwards for a while before they start to fill out. your beautiful pup is still just a puppy, so she has loads of growing still to do!
