New rescue fur baby ! Well big baby!

Hi
My husband and I have been looking for 'the perfect rescue dog ' for ages, a nice little curl up in my lap dog!
My hubby has allergies but isn't allergic to staffers for some reason, anyway we were looking for a nice little Staffy when this young lady popped up on my search bar!
She is 2 and a staffy cross! Oh my love at first sight, she had been in our local rescue centre for a year and another before that bless her , apparently she was too big and pulled on a walk too much.
So we have a 4 stone huge non lap dog haha but she is just so loving and perfect!
Because she is a rscue we know nothing about her , the vet said she thought staffy boxer x But
We recently took her on a weekend break in London and I the dog friendly restur aunt the bouncer said he bred American Bulldogs and he said she was a AMB cross Staffy
We got the microchip papers through today and they said AM Bulldog x
The vet says no!

What do you guys think?

Hi & Welcome to the Forum from Flo and me

Not sure about the AMB cross but she looks fab and well done on the rescue

Hi and welcome from misty and I. Its lovely to have you on the forum. What a wonderful story, it's lovely to hear of Staffords coming out of kennels to find their forever homes. She looks absolutely stunning! She does look staffy x boxer to me but then again maybe I can see American bully so I'm no good whatsoever at guessing breeds.

I'm so happy for you all, she will be a wonderful addition to the family. Do keep us updated as to how you all settle in.

Hi from me & Katy, well done on rescuing Saffi she is beautiful I would say ambull x going by her size. Don't worry she has staffie blood in her so will still be a lap dog, Katy is at 4 stone too

I would say that she's stunning and no idea why she spent so much time in kennels but good on you for finding her

Hello and a big warm welcome btw

Hi and welcome from me and mine!

Crosses are hard to tell sometimes, especially as so often they can be mixes of more than 2 breeds. Staffie x ABD is possible, she's certainly got some breadth in that chest!

Whatever went into making her, the result is one very gorgeous dog!

Hello and welcome me me and hank,

Well done on the rescue! she is stunning

Hi welcome along. We have no chance of stopping Gus being a lap dog, he just forgets his size

Puppy! Gorgeousness, mine's (alledgedly) got ambull in him, but I don't see it really.

He is very handsome I hope you have a wonderful life together.

Thank you all for your replies, ,she is totally adorable and we love her to bits, sadly when we got her there was a spot sized dot on her thigh. It got bigger and so we have had it removed but it has come back as cancerous,she's feeling very sorry for herself I. Her cone of shame !
Lots of cuddles prescribed !

Oh no, so sorry to hear that! Will she need treatment?

Sorry to hear that. Hope everything turns out ok.

Hi,
Apparently the vet says "they got it all" so she shouldn't need treatment
.
She's not been a good patient and has messed up the scar with licking and not resting grrr I've not been a great nurse either as it's all new and I felt bad restricting her ! Oops
Happy snoring next to me as I type !
Thank you all for your kind words xxxx

Wishing her a speedy recovery !

That's great news they got it all! She is so lucky to have come to live with you, it's awful to think what might have been.

They are terrible terrible dogs to keep quiet!! You will get the sad eyes and poor faces to make you feel so guilty. It's in her best interest to stay quiet so hopefully she will relax until she is able to be free of the cone of shame.

Do keep us updated xx

Oh no what a sorry start to life with you but happily the vet got it all. It really is hard trying to keep a Staffy calm after an op so don't beat yourself up about it, we all learn as we go along.

Hiya Saffi is lovely,,, well done on rescue and glad to hear she is healing ok from her op,,,,
