Oh bless her! What a cutie!!

She looks so much like my Staffie boy (only she's prettier and he's chunkier) and he does exactly the same (only he'd be licking every child in the pool at the same time :))

I bloody love Staffies!!

Blimey! My staffy won't even go near the bathroom as he's so waterphobic.

We had a Kong wubba too. Had.
Staffy boy and Doodle boy shredded it apart in 2 days and destroyed the balls inside. Bastards!

Oh she does love to lick. We have no problems with kids gettin up for school, we just send in the licky alarm clock who pounces on them, gets under the covers and licks them until they get up!

We go through a wubba roughly every two weeks. Her nickname is jaws. She chews the legs off then makes a hole in the bottom to get the sqeaker out and demolishes it.

I tried to shower my staffy yesterday Hmm We have a wet room. I'd taken my jeans off . He DUG HIS CLAWS IN like something out of a cartoon. I'm jealous.

And yes, what is it about chewing the legs off the wubba? He'll jam the leg as far down his throat as he can go, gagging, just so that he can chew it as close to the knot as possible.

Your dog is the spitting image of mine, I've just sat looking at the photo with the dummy like Shock

Gorgeous dog and great to see her having fun with the kids :) mine loves water too, lakes not bath time though!

Is she a staff cross? She looks big for a bitch, same as mine... Have had people trying to convince me mine is crossed with a pitt bull terrier!

I think it's something in the DNA Lougle. Mention bathtime to mine and he growls at me and hides!!

Doodle boy is usually paws first in the tub!

She is allegedly pure staffy, but she's 17 inches at the shoulder which is too tall for the breed standard. Dh bought her from a pet shop so she is probably from a backyard breeder with 2 non kc registered animals red for profit. I wasnt happy at the time as would have preferred a reputable breeder or pref a rescue, but done is done and she is an amazing dog and such fun. Temperament and mannerisms wise she is unmistakeably staffy, she smiles, farts, begs for food, joins in conversations, chases the 3 white hairs on the end of her tail etc etc. oh and she really really does love playing with the kids. I think she is probably pure bred, her markings are very typical, she is just a leggy version caused by not breeding to the standard.

Just got the tape measure out to see how tall mine is, 17 inches at the shoulder too

She sounds and looks like a fab family pet, staffies are wonderful (except for the killer farts!)

Not still as such, I pinned her against the door jamb with my leg and made a mark. Measured it later!
