Hi and welcome from us and Suki. Sorry for your loss and good luck in your search for a new companion.

Will always encourage rescuing, but things are different across the oceans. There are so many pups here in care its shamefull. Good luck and keep us posted

welcome from me and my girls.
So sorry to hear of your loss, hope your old girl had a good life till near the end
Hope you find the pup you are looking for to help heal your heart.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your loyal friend. Sounds like she was a wonderful family member. It is so hard to raise a pet like it's your child and then have to watch it age so much faster then you. She was lucky to have a home like yours.

Whereabouts in South Florida do you live? You have to be careful about where you go with the AmStaff and your future Stafford because of the BSL in Miami-Dade County.

Staffords are hard to find in rescue in the US, but there are a lot of APBT/AmStaff mixes in rescue all over the country! There are even litters popping up in shelters all the time. If you really have your heart set on a Stafford, you could always check craigslist or Uncle Henry's before heading to a breeder. I found my Saxon when he was 5 months old on Uncle Henry's. He's a pure bred Stafford that became too much for his original family. If you do end up going to a breeder make sure they are a responsible and ethical breeder. There are a LOT of BackYard Breeders here in the US and they are a real problem. Where ever you end up finding her, I hope you can find the perfect pup for your family! Sorry for the mini rant!

SO sad to hear about your loss i had a text from my girlfriend last night telling me that her collie had just passed away, (old age). the real sad thing is she was at work when it hapend and never had the chance to say goodbye unlike the rest of her family. its very hard for me now as i have a new pup and just cant stop talking about him and now i have to remember that she has lost her dog . its always hard when you loose a loved pet! good luck with your search on finding a new dog. from me and REGGIE

hello and welcome sorry for your loss

Hi & welcome to the forum.

So sorry to hear about poor Mugsy. At 15 years old, she'd obviously had a really good life with you and I'm sure she'll leave you with so many wonderful memories.

If you feel up to it, we'd love to see some pics of her!

Hi from me and Harvey

We are in Palm Beach and have already been in touch with a bunch of breeders. We never would buy from a backyard or pet store. We are responsible dog owners and we would only buy from responsible breeders who ask questions because they care. Our problem is because we are being specific as to gender and color that it is taking longer then expected. We thought we were getting a girl from our original breeder but it seems that the coupling didn't take. Thanks for your help.

hi and welcome to the forum.... sorry to hear about mugsy

The photos of Mugsy brought a tear to my eye.. she looked like an old darling... what a sad time that must have been in your life.

My staffy Jethro is 12 and I love him more than life itself. We just recently got a staffy puppy Winston.. he is now 17 weeks old.. and wow does he keep us on our toes !!

Glad to hear you know what you are doing! It does make it harder when you are more specific about what you want. Once you find her, though, the whole process will have been worth it. Good luck!


Your sweet Mugsy was an absolutely beautiful girl!
