Aww he is soooooooo cute

any ideas on what the mum could be crossed with??

Not sure she seems to have a long nose but the rest of her looks staff i having another look now but I am sure other members will be able to help. Did the breeder not give you any more info ??

Not a clue on the cross but very very cute pup! Welcome to the forum

I agree thats the reason weve started to be curious........ as the weeks have been goign by we have realised that the head is smaller than a normal staff and the long nose......

Were are waiting for a reply from the breeder, as at the begining I did not question much as I thought to my self she was a female and thats why she had that small figure........

The dad was a english staff as I saw it up close....

Hi & welcome, hope you enjoy the forum.

What a lovley pup!

To be honest, I can't see anything other than staff in the mum. She may not be registered, but she looks all staff to me. Did the breeder tell you she was a cross?

No the breeder didnt but we took him to the vet yesterday for his second vaccine and the vet said he was a staff but wasnt sure if he was a full staff

I don't know, I just had another look at Dexter & his mum & dad, and I still can't see anything but staff in any of them!

Whatever he is, though, he adorable!

thanks for your help..... it might not be a cross... thats just me... but i was wondering for the samen reason u pointed out about the nose.....

adorablke he is!!! very happy with my little man!

Looks all Staffy to me. They all grow at different rates and with pups it's hard to tell. He is a handsome one though.

Some staffs have slightly longer muzzles than others, but they're no less staffords!

I agree with caryll i can't see anything but staff in either parent my lad has a slightly longer muzzle then alot have but he is still a full staff none the less

looks full staffy to me lol .. as said above muzzle sizes vary at times from short to longer .. dexter us adorable!!

Thanks all for your replies.... just wanted to confirm

And thanks for all the comments on Dexter He's growing pretty fast in just under a week he's gained 1.5kg

The dad is gorgeous and the mo is adorable, Full Stafford or not he is going to be a really handsome pup!!

ridgeback x staffy i'd say
those paws are a dead give away that the mum is supposed to be much bigger if she wasn't taking on the size of the staffy in her.

Lovely pics

Aww what a cutie, look at the size of those paws already! Mine has a longer muzzle and is also quite a small build as well. I wouldn't worry

Dexter is so gorgeous.
Welcome to the forum from me and my girls Kita & Izzy

Hmm not sure but its not just the longer nose also the ears are not what you would call standard for a staff either.

But would not like to guess if its a cross or just an out of standard staff. An certainly would not like to guess what she is crossed wiv if she is.

the mother may have a bit ebt in her blood from genarations back just for the ears and nose ?????? but any who you got a lovelly little chap on your hands

Mum,dad and dexter all look full staff to me xxx

The parents both look staffy to me too your pup is sooo cute makes me want another one staffs come in so many shapes and sizes these days its hard to tell now

the red one does look like it as some bull terrier in it, but it would say in possible to say

ps it's staffy not a english staffy <<-- there is a not a breed and it does confuse people

What a great looking pup!

Fun Fact: In the US "Staffy" or "Staffie" is also used for the American Staffordshire Terrier (though I always use AmStaff), so SBT people here often use the term "Stafford" to distinguish. I was even scolded by an SBT advocate for saying "Staffie" when referring to an SBT once!

Mum is an english bull terrier cross staffordshire bull terrier, no doubt at all in my mind; however i don't believe shes a half and half cross, rather a three parts staffies to one part bully mix. Its harder to tell for some people because they expect bullies and bully crosses to be white, thats the traditional image.

Hasn't he grown into a lovely looking pup! He does look more now like he has some English Bull Terrier in his blood somewhere. But it doesn't matter what he is as he loooks like one very cute puppy!

He has lovely eyes very handsome!

he is gorgeous! biig paws!

Very very cute, hasn't he grown, and still so much more to do

Awww hes lovely very handsome whatever he is

He is just BEAUTIFUL !!! Definitely think his mom is Staff x bull terrier !

I say shes got a bit of Stafford, Maybe a bit of Bull Terrier and perhaps a dash of sugar and spice and all things nice It dosnt really matter, your puppy brings you joy, and thats all that matters!

Aww hes just adorable, I would put money on the mother being 75% stafford and 25% bull terrier. I can see BT in her features, love the new pics hes just delicious and in lovely condition

dexter is so cute
