Picking up an 8 week old staffie pup from a rescue next week. We've only ever had bull breeds and hoped they'd get a litter of staffies or staffie crosses.
Our beautiful elderly dog died 8 weeks ago tomorrow and most of that time we've been ringing the rescue who put us on their puppy waiting list - but no pups came in. On Friday they got a large litter and today we reserved a beautiful little white bitch.
It's been 14 years since we last had a staffie puppy. And we have never had a rescue before. I'd love to hear about people's experiences and also advice on rescue pups and rescues in general.
Should say the pups were brought in but not mum. The mother - owners claimed - got out and came back pregnant. The pups look like purebred staffs but are very small. Backstreet breeder who got to 7 or 8 weeks and realised she couldn't sell them, I think. They are healthy, (the vet thinks) and appear to be normal, happy pups.
