We are looking at a 6 year old rescue staffy at the moment. He's with the RSPCA and is very gentle and been classed as fine for living with small children.
I haven't had a dog since I was 19 and never a staffy but am pretty confident and am often used as a boarding kennel by my friends so it shouldn't take me too long to get back into the swing of it.
My children are 3 and 5.
I wanted to ask the collective doghouse wisdom regarding this breed. I haven't had a staffy before but had other terriers and bigger dogs growing up. Is there anything I should watch out for or do in particular?
Also, is 6 years old too old to take on?
