    What age is the puppy?

    Temperment really depends on a lot of factors.... the pups upbringing, parents temperment.....

    Sounds like a nice mix as generally both have lovely temperaments. My staffie x is about the size of a small lab (not sure what she is crossed with - she's a rescue) and she is very sweet natured but definitely not lazy. Could walk all day if I had the energy:grin:

    Have a lovely time with your new pup.

    I am really excited for you. Both can be chewers as pups so you will need to have eyes in the back of your head when the pup gets a bit older and you will need to ensure mobile phones, remote controls, shoes, socks, well anything really is out of reach. Although mine was 11 months when I got her ten years ago she had never enjoyed a proper puppyhood so when she settled she decided she would have it with me and would chew anything if you didn't keep an eye on her and some of the furniture still shows the damage. Her favourite though was the edges of cushions:grin: Also pinched and ate a frozen trout that I had left on kitchen worktop when I left her for half an hour.:mrgreen:

    I had a Staffy cross Lab for 12 wonderful years,the soppiest most loving dog i have ever known. She chewed anything and everything for her first 3 years though! Usually new clarks school shoes,expensive football boots and all four car seatbelts while i ran into the school to drop the kids! Her name was Chocky as she was dark brown, and was very crafty,loved food and all people,dogs cats,our other pets(cats rabbits,guinea pigs,rat,hamster and a budgie)! I hope your pup turns out to be as lovely as our Chocky Woo. Still miss her 10 years after she died.:-(
