Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone!

I've just registered to this forum and thought I would say hello.

We are waiting for our friends Staff to have its first litter its due any day now and, all going well, will have first choice of Puppy. We know the Mother and Father and both are great dogs with a lovely nature. We can't wait.

A few questions for all the staffie experts...

Will the pups be the same colours as the parents or is there a chance of other colours? The Dog is all black and the Bitch brindle with white chest.

We are not sure whether to go for a male or female, are there many pro's and cons to either?

Are there any pointers as to what to look for when choosing a pup?

Look forward to your replys

Chris

Should you get a male or a female?? Both sexes are normally full of love !! Big Grin

Hiya and welcome, Moo is a rescue so not much help on the pups, but I have always gone for girls, not too sure why! Exciting times and lots of pics pleeeeeeeeease Big Grin

by Guest Thu Jul 14 2011, 17:54

hi from me and woody.

his parents were brindle and brown and look at woody so i dont think you can tell what colour they are going to be.

from personal experience i would say my female staff (RIP) was a lot calmer than Woody who is super hyper but then again i didnt get her until she was 4 so who knows. whichever you go for you will love it!

Welcome to the forum i've had both male and female Staffys the male is a little more dominant but both give loads of love and both were equally as good round the house and i trust them both equally

bet the excitement is killing you

Hello

Brindle is probably the most popular colour and it is a two colour, the base colour usually black added brown so it comes out as a stripe forming the brindle.
So with the colours you have said you would probably have a chance of brindle, black and brown but then you may not know about grandparent colours its a lottery Big Grin

by Guest Thu Jul 14 2011, 22:15

Hi & welcome.

Yes, a lot depends on what colours the grandparents were as well. Whatever the colour, I'm sure the pup'll be gorgeous!

One grandparent on mums side was white and the other brindle, so I guess they could be pretty much any colour!!

It ended up with 9 (but one still born). Out of the 8 there are only 2 boys.
Roll on 10 weeks.. bounce

by Guest Sat Jul 16 2011, 18:50

10 weeks? Why not 8 weeks? Big Grin

Do you know which one you're getting?

Don't know which one as we've not even seen them yet!
There is a brindle girl I think my wife will want.... Smile

They want to keep the pups as long as possible with their mum so I think it will be 10 weeks..

by Guest Sat Jul 16 2011, 19:28

Oooh, I don't think I could wait that long! Big Grin

Will they be giving you any pics?

(you know where I'm going here, don't you? Laughing

by **janey** Sat Jul 16 2011, 19:47

10 weeks will fly and sounds like a good breader to be keeping them with mum and litter mates, fantastic start to his/her life! Can't wait to hear which bundle it will be, kinda partial to brindle girls Love Struck

keep us posted Big Grin
