Greetings from Blackpool.

Hello to everyone, I am so glad to have found this website and hope it will be a good source of help for the future. I've spent the last week on the internet filling my head with a barrage of Staffordshire information in preparation before collecting my puppy this Friday and my head is completely wrecked!! There are so many different conflicting comments about the do's and dont's regarding healthy eating, training etc, etc, etc....I'm a bit scared!!

So far i've got the vets sorted for injections and L-2-HGA screening, nylon chew toys off ebay, found a reputable puppy training school in my area and i'm in the middle of getting some quotes for pet insurance. I'll be hitting that 'Search' button a lot in the next few days in the hope of finding some good tips.(I already have the doggy treats page bookmarked!

Anyway there's no turning back now, the kids will hate me forever if I change my mind now!!! Please somebody wish me luck!!!

Hi & welcome to the forum

Hello and welcome to the forum bet your excited for friday! lots and lots of picture please!

Hi and Welcome!
I am new to this site too.
Your kids are no doubt counting the minutes until friday!!
You couldn't have picked a better breed for a family dog. My boy is 8 months and my kids best mate. A little crazy at times, but well worth it!
Good luck!

Hi there and welcome. Judging by what I read, you are very well organized and don't need to be wished good luck!
Staffys are a great breed so be prepared to be showered with love. ( warning.. they CAN be hard work at times but are worth it!!! )
Can't wait to see lots and lots of pics of Spartan when you get him, as my Winston is a pied too!

hi from me and woody from down the road in thornton. you really have come to the best place not just for advice but for talking all things staffy and showing off pics of your gorgeous puppy. only 3 days to go!

Hi, and congratulations on the new addition. I bet your children are very excited. We have just rehomed a staffy, 2 weeks ago and she is already a big part of our family. My 4 year old and 2 year old love her so much and it is great to see that she loves them too. They have formed a firm friendship as I am sure yours will too.

Thankyou to everyone for the kind words, i'm looking forward to the great support. I've already quietly read and learnt a lot of good stuff in the archives here today!This really is the place to be. ><
