its puppytime on Goy.... all different and all gorgeous :0)))

OOOOO Love it

I love him, He reminds me of Tammy, my red staffie, now gone :(.. I had 2 staffies from six weeks old and started training them straight away, they are very intelligent so it was easy, just takes time, every day i walked them to a big field and taught them everything there, from staying and lying down, mid run lol. I can honestly say they were a pleasure to train..As Rocky gets older he will need something BIG to chew on, they like to hold onto things with that huge jaw, we used a car Tyre suspended from the washing line Pole lol ..Also Staffies are very Lazy :) I sometimes had to carry them out of the front door for there walks, especially if it were snowing or raining lol.. There very loving, Loyal and devote themselve's to you, there Amazing dogs <3 .. .. Dee..

He is one adorable lovely puppy, good luck with him, my to baby kittens had their first injections last wednesday and then back again for last one 2weeks next wednesday, then its the big opps for them as dont wont any little kittens running round in a few months time.

He's lovely sewingkilla. Advice is: patience, patience and more patience!..lol. Our Rottweiller is now 17 weeks and a big strong boy. He's starting to react to commands and we can't imagine being without him as has fitted in so well with my 12 year old dog Dylan and my two cats...:o)

hes so cute... : O ))

He is Gorgeous SK, Lots of praise and treats when he is good and patience, you are going to have a very busy and happy life with him from this moment onwards;0)

He's lovely :o))

You are right about the AW! You got it straight away from me with the first photo!
We have just had 7 english pointer puppies, we have 2 left one we are keeping and one we still need to find a home for. Any questions do ask away!! You can see pics of our babies as I have downloaded rather alot of puppy pics along with garden flowers etc!

Godd luck with your little (not for long!) Rocky!

He's gorgeous SK ! As you say just be firm and let him know you mean it,he'll soon catch on. I hope he has a special toilet place away from your lawn etc :))

Cute as a button SK!

Awwww beautiful! His little face made my heart melt :o)

What a lovely looking lad......good luck with Rocky.

My Staffie is a brindle, nearly 9 years old. We have such a rapport, I can usually control her with a word. She likes to wrap herself in her blanket, right over her head! They are wonderful with people, especially children, but she doesn't like other dogs much and tends to fight, although she's much better now she's older. I love that honey colour. You'll have a friend for life, I guarantee.

Thanks everyone i think we have chosen well from all your comments, a lot of people have said 'oh no a staffie', they seem to think them dangerous dogs, well any dog is dangerous if treated wrongly! He seems to be a loving little chap at the moment full of mischief like!!! lol makes me laugh but he already has picked up 'sit' and 'paw' he'll do anything for a dog biscuit lol!!! He takes my mind off my health problems and i feel a happier person already.

I'm so glad you're enjoying each others company. I couldn't be without a dog in my life. Alfie, our Rottweiller pup is adorable, but as you say people assume the worst because of their breeds, and it is not the dog but the owners who are at fault. It's great that he is helping you take your mind off your health problems, I'm so pleased for you...:o)

He`s a bonny one Sk and you are in for some fun, pleased for you and your family....

He's adorable. Agree with Dylan, it's usually the owners fault. If they're trained right there should be no problem. We had a Bull Mastiff and he was just wonderful, with the other animals we had and brilliant with my daughters. We have a Boxer and an English Springer. Neither of them are in good health as the Boxer is old, and the Spaniel has heart problems. So I am a little wary of them both with the 3 1/2yr old Granddaughter now because of their health issues. We've now just had a Welsh Springer Puppy. She's called Mali and she's 8 weeks old. She having her 1st injection Wednesday. She's been good too. We take her outdoors for the toilet, and it's suprising how quickly they learn, cos after only a week, she wimpers by the door to be taken to the toilet. She also understands 'no' but keeping chewable things out of reach is the difficult part. But never mind, hopefully she'll soon grow out of chewing evrything that is'nt hers. ha ha. :o)))

I agree what you say ..its how animals are handled from an early age ( bit like children really) that makes them what they are and a pleasure to be with

He is so cute, he looks like a toy dog in that first pic:-)

theres a realy good forum for staffys and everyone is very freindly and you name it they solve it,just go onto search and its staffy forums,i used ask jeeves,chris

Thanks ladybug will have a look at it, any advice welcome! He is settling in well, had first jab today plus worming pill and some flea treatment (also for Toffee), he is asleep on my feet as i type this!

our brindle staffy is 11 years old now, had her from a puppy ( reject ) & is the most wonderful companion. Loves the cuddles, superb temperement with absolutly eveything & everyone, She single pawed has changed so many peoples attitudes around to this breed. Raised my Staffy like my 3 kids, no means no, never smacked or shouted at, so far I havent been bitten by any of them & they all love me still ;-) Had other superb dogs over the years, pointer, dalmation, keeshond but there seems to be something quite remarkable about the staffies devotion to people. I now have four grandchildren & they are not allowed to sit-on, tease or pester Staffy, the respect goes both ways with people & dogs. Top-Tip, get a tug-of-war type toy, boy do they like to play with you & it trains them that hands are not for biteing etc. Looking forward to photo progress. You have a very lively upbeat happy devoted little chap there, he'll raise your day when you need it most SK.

What a cute little thing...........love it.

I just love dogs and esp staffs. He is adorable and def pulled on my heart strings soon as i saw him. My friend recently got a staff but a grey/blue colour. Now that was a stunning looking dog!!
Good luck with the training and many happy years of fun to come with him SK

Sweet...asleep on your feet, he's fallen in love too then =)

he`s georgous sewing... would be great if they stayed like this cute and cuddly,, im sure it will all come back, pretty much like raising kids really, toilet training and behaving themselves lol
