Jynn Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 need the extra heat?????? My house was built in 1906, so its pretty drafty I keep a few space heaters and random blankets sitting around in winter for the cats, because I don't trust them unattended in a sweater.

Louie Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I dont care for dogs but I love this guy (Bop), Will be my first and only dog I will ever have. Insanely smart and never barks. English Stadffordshire Bull Terrier 38lbs full grown. Wish my kids listens as well as he does, Great looking . You don't see that breed much if at all . My neighbor has an English bull terrier which as you know is different but as tenacious . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vpier Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Great looking . You don't see that breed much if at all . My neighbor has an English bull terrier which as you know is different but as tenacious . They still call them nanny dogs in England, used to look after small kids while parents worked the fields. Was the #1 dog in states until US G.I.'s brought back German Shepard from the great war. Petey from the little rascals was an English staffie .The real Jack from Little House on the Prairie was an English staffie. Sad part is is pitbull guys cross them for smaller size and very powerful bite yet they hate to bite. He barely barks and has never showed anger or barked. His blood line dates back almost 230 years from one family in the U.K. he's a mama's boy and loves little kids and is so gentle, has never nipped even playing, has an incredible ability to read people .An Irish butcher 400 years ago crossed a now extinct terrier with an English bulldog.

I think Nanny dogs were Am Staff which is bigger than the Staffordshire Bull Terrier ? ''Sad part is is pitbull guys cross them for smaller size'' There is a ''low rider'' version of the PB which looks like a piglet .I think that is what you mean ? They seem popular but to me they look deformed and unhealthy . No different than the other extreme of monster American bulldogs I now see which can barely walk by 3 years old . Here is a pic of a pic of my AB, since no cell phones back than just regular cameras . He passed away years ago at 13 . The female a cane corso who was 4 years younger lived a year after he passed on but she was never the same . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The female a cane corso who was 4 years younger lived a year after he passed on but she was never the same . English staffies are the original staffordshire bull terrier, one of the oldest bloodlines lines in the dog world, When the first settlers came to the colonies they developed a bigger version of the english staffie due to having to deal with wolves and big cats. Unfortunately this also bought out a bad aggression towards other dogs and an ability to fight very well. Then the american bull dog was crossed with the american staffie and is now what you call a pitbull. Now we have idiots and I wish I could swear on this site that has used these two advantages of the american staffie with the american bulldog and have created a very dangerous combination. Pits can be great dogs with the right the owners but we all now that to many idiots and thugs own then and thats deadly. There is one line of English staffie that comes from South Africa which the staffie world calls "hot" meaning very aggressive towards other dogs, great family dog but many cant even be kept with it own kind unless its breeding time. Heard stories that these 36-38lbs dogs can take a 100+lbs dogs like a retriever or lab down with no problems, English staffies were bred for hunting badgers and chasing bulls in a bull pen. They used to think tiring bulls would soften the meat but it made it tougher, But a few families (The Donellas) like my dog mine came from realized these dogs made excellent baby sitters and developed that trait and this same family after 230 years is still doing this.

Interesting , I had no idea which came first . I have never actually seen an Staff Bull terrier other than pics . Your breeder was local or you had him shipped ? Some Cane Corsos are now mixed with Neo mastiff to make them much bigger and some pits are mixed with French Mastiffs to make them giants . ''Pits can be great dogs with the right the owners but we all now that to many idiots and thugs own then and thats deadly.'' In the 80s during the huge drug money years pit fighting was rampant here and that was when the legislation to ban them was drawen up and late 80s they were banned .

They were very popular in the 70s and suffered due to it with puppy mill type breeding and some breeding giant Dobermans but after 80s they seemed to rebound as far as good looking dogs .

My dog came from WA and flew on Alaska airlines to Denver when the Broncos beat the Falcons in the superbowl, the breeder was the first to bring his bloodline to the US, been breeding since 1967 and will only breed females once every 1.5 years. Took me over a year to get them to trust me. The best English staffie breeders dont trust anyone outside their show dog circle due to pitbull breeders. Breeders called Truegrip and is the 1st and only breeder to win more than 100 grand championships. They dont breed to make money and rarely sells pups who are not show people. I got super lucky.

Vpier Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 What got you interested in that breed ? I ask as its a breed you don't see and you said your first dog . One year of researching dogs. I wanted a smaller dog but I don't like kick dogs like Pomeranians. A dog that doesn't shed very much and has a single coat due to my allergies,extremely smart , AKA approved for very young kids, not known for being barkers, uncanny almost spooky ability in reading peoples emotions. One of the most people friendliest breeds in the dog world but just a mean enough look that someone with bad intentions will think twice with a staffie. They are built like a tank, extremely strong has a bite so powerful that my dog can split the extra strong black Kong dog toy in half but if you play with him and his teeth touches you he will stop back away and lay down like he's in trouble and this is something he was never trained to do. I told my breeder that I wanted a calm submissive dog and that is exactly what I got. I know this is corny but I learned a lot about dogs from watching Cesar Millan and he was a big reason why I got a dog. Earlier post I said "I dont like dogs", I need to rephrase that and say "I dont like most dog owners". Way too many dog owners who aren't capable of being good responsible owners. The English staffie used to be the #1 breed in the US until Vets from WWI and WWll brought the German Shepard over. Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly researched the breed . in my case back than I had a few acres and 2 bird aviaries plus chickens and I wanted two large dogs that would chase away from size alone but not catch bobcats and foxes who saw them coming .

oem Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hey Dr. Dolittle aka Will, Is that a Brown Swiss and are those Nigerian Dwarf goats? Where are the sheep. Navajo Churro would fit right in. We have raised feeder lambs for years. And what about one of Babe's cousin's. Maybe a Guinea hog an old U.S. of A. breed ? I have always liked a mix of various animals on our place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wygglz Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I don't know about others, but I have a houseful (and pasture) but the real challenge is finding a babysitter when we want to go somewhere overnight or longer!
