Meet Dixie!

oops...should have looked like this!

lovely looking dog nice and lean and alert looking
is he /she KK bred by any chance?

hello

hi we've had our staff/irish? for 3 months now she's great very athletic would appreiciet some helpin identifing her as i thought staffs should not stand higer than 16" and she seems to be comin in taller than this this pic is her at 4mths

cant seem to get the pic on? where am i going wrong?

she's bloody goooorgeous!

Hey Laura, great shots of your gal xxx she's a beauty, cheers for sharing....

Couple of updated pictures of Cassy, almost 3 years old in pics.

hi again

hi laura nice dog btw, i was just wondering can you remember what she looked like when she was 4mths old? size wise and was it anything like this (taken today 21/02/05)

myia getting some practice in this morning on her spring pole (great muscle building exercise) she loves it, she only just learning it thats why her feet are still on the ground i will gradually increase hight so eventually she right up in the air.
if anyone makes one be sure to use a spring to prevent dog from doing damage to its self its also makes good pulling resistence for the dog

I could be wrong but she has a look of EBT about her, especially in the nose. Did you see her parents when you bought her?

hi m8, no i didnt see her parents the guy i bought her off said heonly saw her farther, he did'nt seem to know much about dogs but he said the farther was the one of the biggest staffs hes seen but he didnot see the mother and in liverpool there are a lot of irish staffs that a lot of ppl think are staffs but acording to books ect shold be no taller than 16".......... maybe it was the pic that made u think english bull someone eles as said english tome b4 but i dont see it that have much longer snout, think i am gona have to wait till shes about 12mnts to see, thanks anyway.

I thought that too when I seen the first picture of the pup facing the side. But to be honest it is very difficult to judge with pups as they change so much as they grow. Viewing the parents will give you an indication of what to expect. I have some shots somewhere of Cassy as a pup, she was very gangly at that age shot right up but not a bit of meat on her bones. I guess you just have to wait & see. She has lovely markings any more pics of her side on or face on?

You dont really have any way of knowing then if you have not seen either parents. Not all Staffords are 14-16" most are usually around this height but some taller and smaller does not mean they are not Staffords just they dont fit the KC standard. Just enjoy her.

Laura

Agree with CBT and Laura, she does seem to have a BullTerrier look about her. I know its early but the skull shape/stop and length of muzzle (maybe pic angle) suggests BullTerrier inffluence, would also like to see a clearer shot of her eye shape?

Remember when measuring her height its floor to shoulder :wink:

k9s

just wonderd if anyone knew of pup getting seconds set of k9's b4 the age of 6mth.

my 5mth pup

hi, we recently bought a 5 mth old pup, his sire is 'psycho', i knew when we bought him he wasnt the usual staff type due to his ears and his height. 'psycho', so i have read here appears to be a line of irish staff, is that correct??? i wouldnt change him for the world hes an absolute darling. but i would just like some clarification asd to whether he is or not

Ive attached some photos, sorry for the quality, ive taken them on my phone.









im a newbie so im not sure, ive had staffs before, kc reg and standard, ebxsbt - she was the best, my friend has her now, ill post some photos of her in a few wks, shes glorious, red and white, but i am new to the irish?

hi nice dog eeejay4 how old it now? its looks like she may have a little american pit in her? her fur looks really tight/short like pit but check out some uk pit bull sites and compare for yourslef.

correction HE!

possible apbt

hi, thx for replying, i hav looked already but i was thinking along the same lines....im not sure at all. Hes definately not staff in the staff sense but im just curious, thk u
