TheCheekyMonster Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) Here is another one that was sent from the owner but they don't do him any justice I need to get some of my own. His better behaved than my two. He had a great play with a greyhound yesterday off lead and his attention is easy to break, he also checks in and followed me if I walked away such a good boy im so impressed.

juice Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Imho ,he looks nothing like a purebred staffy,i don't even think that is a proper colour, but could be wrong, he just looks like a pound mutt. I just wouldn't feed him bones, easy solution, and tell potential homes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wouldn't feed him bones, easy solution, and tell potential homes too. His colour may not be desirable and he may not be a show dog or a well bred staffy could be BYB job so the term "purebred" its probably not correct to use but he is pretty darn close and he is not a pit mix or any other bully breed mix, he wouldn't be as well put together but hey his an awesome dog none the less and as I stated don't have papers so couldn't be 100%. He is also not from the pound....And I don't think not feeding him bones is a very good solution but thanks anyway.

Looks less like a Staff in the second picture. Black & tan is not uncommon in the breed - just not allowed in the show ring. Usually the black & tan ones are the pick of the litter in all other ways :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm looking forward to meeting him. I just hope I don't fall for him too There will be some awesome photos of him once ruthless has been... *grin* T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think he looks gorgeous! I have a dog who needs to go in to lockdown when he has a bone, I just leave him be and give him his space. He's a very loving boy other than this. I think your boy looks pure, lovely colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCheekyMonster Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Sooooo excited for Ruth to snap him, he will be irresistible!!. Clyde I agree he just needs a little space with the bone, I am doing some positive associate training with him with bones and meaty objects and his doing fine maybe just the owner made him nervious lucky there are no small children where we are so its something I will inform any prospective adoptees about, he is excellent with Kids but they need to know how to interact with him. The photos I have don't do him justice and I did think he was a pit mix when I first saw them or even kelpie but in the flesh he looks very different much smaller head is less elongated as well because the owner was animate he was a purebred I was very sceptical until I saw him but who knows.

TheCheekyMonster Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Bit of an odd thing I discovered, he has been de-sexed but he still has what look like balls but higher up? is there part of the dog anatomy that I am unaware of?

Animal House Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 He is possessive over meaty bone because it was very new to him and he obviously saw this as an extremely high value food. I have gone near him when he is eating kibble and chicken frame same reaction did not occur. If any behaviourist is willing to give a free assessment I am all up for it. Are you getting him desexed? So if you aren't willing to have him assessed, you'll disclose this problem to potential adoptees then? I think you need to read back through my posts, yes I have already got him desexed and not disclosing this wouldn't be of any benefit to anyone, I want him to find the best possible home, preferably with people who have owned dogs before its not a massive problem things could be worse. I also could you suggest a behaviourist who would do an assessment? My apologies, I didn't see that you'd had him desexed already. I'd still ask around to get a behaviorist to assess him, I'm sure there are plenty around the area if you ask in this thread. Good luck with him. :) In my honest opinion I do believe he is a purebred, but he has no papers so cant be 100% his a very nicely put together boy, its my lucky week by phone has broken into pieces so I don't have any other photos at this point in time. I know he was purchased from Orange, and Owner said he is 2 next month. But his chest hasn't filled out quite yet so I have a feeling he might be a little younger, or he could just be small. 13.5kg for a male staffy is a good size, ill measure him from the weathers and see how he stacks up to the standard (not that it makes him a pure bred) but good to know.

Not testes just glands that swell when the male dog is excited about something. They are the glands responsible for tying when the dog is mating the bitch.

mixeduppup Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I grew up with a dog that would have a go at you if she had a bone. Simple solution, we didn't go near her when she was eating one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 If you can, get him into obedience training.. A pass in beginners obedience is what secured my last foster girls new home.. They were so thrilled and have even enrolled her to do intermediate level. Good luck, he is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donatella Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I grew up with a dog that would have a go at you if she had a bone. Simple solution, we didn't go near her when she was eating one. The first time my 2kg Pom pup (at the time) got her mitts on a fresh meaty bone she growled at anyone who came near it. She's had many since and never done it again as she gets them all the time. It's the first and only time I've heard her growl as she's a lick monster and a total sweetie. Good on you for taking in this boy Dot you're doing a great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCheekyMonster Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 He gets along with Nala just fine, and he was ok with Gus, just Gus was not ok with him... I didn't realise Gus was such a boss dog so I'm glad that I found out my own dog has a socialisation issue rather than Bandit. Took all 3 of them to a little beach in Gladesville yesterday they had a ball. Gus was being annoying and kept trying to mount him.. Bandit got the shits and told him off which I thought was well deserved and Gus backed off for the rest of the afternoon. All dogs had a wonderful sleep and no one was physically injured but I think got an ego bashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
