What a beauty, I love Staffs and I now want one.

She reminds me of my dog "edith" who passed away aged 16 few years ago.

They're not overly big dogs, but what they lack in size they make up in power........they're pretty much pure muscle

they remind me some of a boxer not facial shape but the way you decribe their muscular physic!

To be honest these are definitely cuter than boxers [:D]

My ex housemate has a Staffy, she's so lovely, she actually used to be a bait dog if I remember correctly.
But she's a little darling, the best is you can have a good play fight with her, although she has drawn blood from me quite a few times [;)]

Out of interest doc did you chose a bi, a bit, a female dog rather than a male dog?

I've always found female staffs to be loyal and gentler than male staffs.

i don't see why they wouldn't get along. we had two cats and got a dog. there was some... tension for a few days but then it was ok

Those are adorable pictures Doc! I love it.

environmentalist, Most cats and dogs have a period of adjustment getting to know each other, but with proper supervision at first letting both know they are loved, they will usually start to get along just fine! LOL!

We have always had both cats and dogs!

I have to admit that I'm not the world's No1 cat fan. I'm much more a dog person.

I like cats and dogs. Would like a new Kitty but fear I shouldn't right now as if something happened my family do not like cats, they would get rid of it!
