If I saw her I would guess a Staffy but I am no expert. All I know is that she is a gorgeous little thing and no wonder you love her to bits

Re: More or less staffie.


Sorry but I agree. Who cares, she's gorgeous!!!!

I am in the same spot with jack he is more or less a Patterdale. He, like Tonks is " bronze" a typical Patt colour, but he is a little taller and narrower than a "proper" Patterdale. He's a rescue so we're really not sure about his parentage but we love him whatever he is!

Re: More or less staffie.


Awww thank you everyone. she is lovely and is snoring her head off at the moment.

I have only ever had adult rescues before and it is odd with a new puppy as people always want to know what she is. If i say staffy then you always get the clever dick who says, oh she's too tall she must be a cross etc etc.

But if i say more or less a staff they say " i can't see anything else in her but staff why don't you just say staffie!"

Maybe when they ask i should say "she is Tonks!" Perfect just the way she is!

Re: More or less staffie.


It is a lovely pup and I don't think you really care what her breeding is. To me both the parents look like crossbreeds and it is likely their parents were as well, but it does not matter. You have a lovely pup and as long as it is fit, well and of good temperament it’s ancestry is probably as multi ‘breed’ based as yours and mine. Meaning that most humans have a multi race and multi culture in their background and it matter not one jot.

Yes Pita you are right. I don't care what she is really. Although i did want some of the traits of a staffy and personality wise she seems to have those so far.

We are not interesting in winning prizes and definately not producing more puppies so she is perfect.......In my eyes anyway!

Re: More or less staffie.


She's absoloutly gorgeous

we have the same problem with our staffy since a lot of people say he's to tall and skinny in the face to be a proper staffy and others say that he looks full staffy

Ha! It's funny isn't it. People want to know what they are but then disagree with any explanation that you give. Think i will stick with my more or less staffy explanation.

When i have said she is a staffy cross people want to know what she is crossed with!

Both the mum and dad had wonderful temperaments and i loved the look of mum and her wonderful colour so i was really pleased when the pup with the temperement that we were looking for also was the spitting image of her mum!
