Hi
I have 2 dogs, a 6 year old Border Terrier; he’s calm, sociable, a great dog. Also a Chihuahua, nearly 2, also lovely, brave little dog, can get nervous around boisterous unfamiliar dogs.
We’re a typical family home; teenage daughter, 3.5 year old son. My husband and I work from home so someone’s always here.
We want to get another dog and would love a Staff, we’ll be getting it as a puppy.
Would this breed be happy in this kind of environment, with 2 other dogs and a small child playing with it? My son does play a bit rough with my dogs, the Border just takes it or gets up and walks away; the Chihuahua will growl and bite him but as he’s small it doesn’t do any damage.
He’s starting to understand he has to be nice to the dogs. But I’m worried if he bothered a Staffie a nip from him would be quite different to that of a Chihuahua?!
Is there much difference between a male and female, would a male Staff be ok with two other male dogs?
Advice please?? 😀☀️
