Hi from me & Katy Don't take any notice of people like that!! I've had many people say Katy is a X but I know she isn't, she's tall too. If you know your pup's heritage then that's all you need. The KC standard is for a shorted stockier build but as you will see here they come in varying sizes

Thanks x

Hi and welcome from me and mine

As Jen says, don't worry. Staffies are being bred bigger, possibly not in accordance with the breed standard but unless you're thinking of showing/breeding it's not an issue. And the white stripe? Never heard of that as an indicator of a dog not being a staff before!

People do love to criticise. Honestly, if you have to say something, what's wrong with 'what a lovely dog!'?

Completely agree with what's posted above. Oddly though, my girl isn't KC and has something else in her make up but everyone calls her a Staffy
