For you Staffi Lover
I just looked up some pictures of staffi's because I had no clue what they were but they are too cute. Do you actually own one? If so how do they behave and how big do they get? Thanks for the info.

Yes I do own one and I think she is beautiful ill post a picture of my one.
She does the cutest things shell sit on my feet, give me kiss when I come home sometimes she even hugs me by putting her head on my shoulder.
In the house my dog is well behaved during most of the morning she will sleep for ages sometimes I have trouble getting her out of bed lol.
But when shes awake god she has some energy & she loves to play her favourite toy at the moment is a little teddy with a santa hat she nicked it off my aunties bed lol, she'll sit there for hours sucking it & trying to pull the stuffing out of it.
Also sometimes i'll be sat on the sofa and she just looks at me in such a cute puppy dog way that it makes my heart melt lol.
shes stocky but isnt that big atall really she doesnt come past my knees well actually i'd say shes a few inches below my knees, small enough to pick up & cuddle if she wasnt so heavy lol.
Hope that info is ok, thats just my experience with my baby, and one thing i'd like to point out is that they are cute as pups but the cuteness has never left my dog :P

Wow!! She is abosolutely adorable. And yes the info you provided was excellent. I just never heard of them and was very curious I appreciate you taking the time to write all that down. Had 2 other question for you though if you don't mind. How are they with other dogs? And how are they around kids?

My dog has been excellent with kids she doesnt nip or anything like that she just likes to lick, If I introduce her to a toddler because they are quite small I will hold onto her collar because she likes to jump up to say hello so I dont want her knocking them over lol.
I havent tried her with any child younger than a toddler.
And any kid that wants to play is fine by her she loves the attention she cant get enough of it, so she keeps me occupied which I love doing with her.
With other dogs she is fine she loves to play in the park with them she's just so curious and whats to explore other animals and make friends.
The only time she can get a bit barky with other dogs is when shes on heat and um they wanna try it on with her, she likes her dignity lets say that! lol

Well I wasn't expecting this breed to be so good around kids to be honest; I think they sort of have the same look as pit bulls do. But i'm pleasently surprised they sound like a wonderful breed of dog, not to mention they are so cute. Thanks again for answering my questions I might have to talk to my husband about this breed.

I think they are a great breed but some people will disagree it all depends on your personal exsperience with them.

And thank you its been nice sharing my love of staffis with you.

I have a Staffi puppy and I love her to death. Staffi's and Pitts are the SAME dog, someone just came up with the fancy name to try and fool others. Pitts are NOT bad with children its all in the way they are raised, as with every dog. I will be honest I was afraid of pitts and thought they were terrible dogs untill I did my research and more labs bite dogs then Pits. Pits and Staffi tend to be more animal aggressive and that is just because they are very protective and territorial, but they do really make great dogs.
My puppy is only 6 weeks old, but my sister-in-law has a two year old female red nose pitt and she is the sweetest thing, she is really a sweet dog..

Staffie (staffordshire Bull Terrier) and
pit bulls are not the same.
It's Am.Staffs( American Stafordshire Terriers) that are the same breed.
They are all related,but different.
Staffie Bulls,Am.Staffs and Pit Bulls are all great around people and any people agression should not be tolerated.
They can be dog aggressive which is okay considering what they were bred for.

If you say Staffi some people will get confusied about what breed you are talking about.
Your dog is a Staffi Bull,not an Am.Staff
