They can change a lot as people say but most I am guessing you should be able to tell are Staffords. There are various types within the breed but most you should know what they are by looking at. The only way to be 100% sure is to be confident in the breeder you got the pup from and have seen parents, even grandparents.

To me without sounding cheeky in the first picture if I am being totally honest the dog does not look like a Stafford but again that is just my opinion and pictures are not always the best to tell from.

As long as your happy with him that is the main thing.

DINO IS MORE LIKE THE ORIGINAL STAFFORDS, ATHLETIC, LONGER NOSED AND MORE ABLE TO DO THE ORIGINAL STAFFY ACTIVITIES. ALL THESE SHOWRING STAFFIES THAT STRUGGLE FOR BREATH WITH SHORT SOFT PALETTES ARE JUST CARICATURES OF THE REAL STAFFORD. BACK IN THE DAY DIFFERNET REGIONS HAD DIFFERNT TYPES SOME MORE TERRIER SOME MORE BULLY, NOW ALL THE SHOW RING DOGS LOOK ALL WARPED. THEY ARE GOING THE WAY OF THE BULLDOG.
IN PARTICULAR STAFFY PUPPIES LOOK DIFFERENT TO WHEN ADULTS, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT JUST CHECK OUT WHAT DINO USED TO LOOK LIKE AND WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE NOW. WE USED TO CALL HIM A STAFFRADOR, HALF STAFFY HALF LABRADOR !
TRUST ME HE YOUR PUPPY LOOKS GREAT !, YOU WILL SEE A STEADY GROWTH, THEN BETWEEN 8 -10 OF AGE YOU SHOULD SEE A 10% GROWTH SPURT AND THE HEAD WILL SPLIT.
Bobby Digital can we ask you not to post in capitals please its classed as shouting. I realise it was probably a mistake on your part.
