Dog Hi All! Would appreciate some advice

Post by pjh1 Thu Oct 08 2020, 19:47

I am super excited to pick up my first Staffie on monday. The breeder had two females left, one of them got picked up by another buyer the other day. The female that is left has a smaller head than the one that got picked up. Is it normal for puppies to differ so much in looks? Is there something I should be aware of? Thanks in advance for your input! I've added pictures of both girls below.

Hi from me & Katy Big Grin Welcome to the wonderful world of staffy love Love Struck Both pups are beautiful but I'd guess that the smaller one that you are getting is possibly the runt of the litter. Don't worry too much as she will soon catch up in size, they grow so fast! She looks perfectly healthy & beautiful Love Struck

Hi there!

The first girl is less developed than the second. But puppy growth is weird - I've seen a so called runt of the litter turn in to the biggest over time.

If she's healthy & lively there isn't a problem.

Hello and welcome.

Solid advice already given. Don’t worry that your girl is just a late bloomer but that won’t stop you having great adventures together.
It’d be great if you could share a few here with us. Big Grin

Gorgeous puppies ❤ I wouldn’t worry much either, Luna was the smallest but most fierce out of her siblings haha even though she was the smallest and one would assume she was the weakest she was definitely the most dominant when playing with them,she was killing them Laughing she’s still small now but that’s because her mother was small, ended up filling out as much as her siblings Smile many people don’t want to take the smallest or “weakest” out of the littler but most of the time they turn out the same as the other ones if not that one bit more sassy Laughing
