Would love a staffie but would have of from a small pup rather then a pre owned

Would need to trust any dog I have with my daughter

I have had 2 staffs in my life, both of them soft and loving pooches.

One hated other dogs, the other was fine with other dogs. The second one, that was fine was one that I had raised from 8 weeks and he lived with a Jack Russel/parsons russel Terrior cross thing. We got him from a proper pikey type family from that there gumtree and it turned out he was a 'king staff' (bruv I swear down mate) type of dog.

It was imperative that we socialised him properly and didn't let him feel the need to show aggression in any way. Grew up into a lovely, soft dog that just loved everyone. He would even cower in the corner when the jack Russel would come at me for a play fight (patting the floor around the dog sorta stuff). However, very much nurture over nature thing. you have to let dogs work out their natural pecking order thing and almost let them get on with their scraps between themselves unless it becomes actually nasty.

Nowerdays, I just have the cat due to time thing and being unable to provide a proper home that any dog deserves. The cat would probably not care if we died, in fact may want to eat our eyeballs whilst they were still fresh.

Cushion, back, face. It's an upwards progression. They've learned to use tools - clever girl.

Sadly I wasn't camerad up. Fortunately I was armoured up (bike viewing, the bike was rough too) and got an elbow in the way.

Eh, for all I know, the growling was a sign that it was going to lick me into submission. It's a comforting thought.
