Wiley Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Best dogs you can have especially with kids, they defiantly call them nanny dogs for a reason, as they are very protective of there family, you couldnt ask for a better dog with kids in my opinion, heres a photo of my boy and my dog sophie, she is always by his side!

gangster Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 ive got 3 staffords 1 *expletive removed* n 2 dogs fantastic temprements ,but the big fella lives by my birds and does not suffer fools gladly especially those who try to climb my wall... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjc Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Our Staffie is fantastic with kids, its some other dogs she doesn't like. Would never trust any dog 100% with kids though. Best to get a puppy from a home where the parent dogs have also been surrounded by kids etc as you are less likely to have problems. If you get a pup from a breeder or somebody's mate from the local estate you don't know what you are getting and could have inbred problems!

Has anyone got any experience of these dogs and would you bring one into a house with two children aged 9 and 4. Only person I would recommend you talk to regarding breeders of Staffies is Abe Harkness comes from Carluke. Have a look at his website, I know that a good webmaster can make any site seem the part but believe me this guy has years of experience to back it up. http://www.senkrah.co.uk/History.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few that have wannabees and even though they are sound dogs and great with people just ugly ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangster Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 id like too add mine aint no potbelly pig lookalikes,and are 100% true staffords and so as not too put anyone off , i dont condone or recommend any breed crossing mainly because you cannot predict the reliability of the temprement...and as an experianced bull breed man would recommened that you go to an established breeder and see the parents and any older siblings before you commit to buying.. NO DOG NO MATTER THE BREED IS PERFECT SO ID NEVER LEAVE 1 ALONE WITH ANY YOUNG CHILD.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
