"Gerry" wrote Anyone have experience with the above dog? How long? Any info is appreciated. It will help along with the books I've been reading. Thanks. I adore my Staffie, Sheba. Loyal, friendly, tough, smart...60 pound Pit Bull in a 30 pound package. Generally healthy, Sheba did have a problem somewhat common to short faced breeds...an elongated soft palate...too much tongue for a little muzzle, and did require surgery. She is not as heat tolerant as many other breeds, which I have to be careful of here in Las Vegas. But even in the summer, with plenty of water and sufficient rest breaks, she'll go all day, hiking, playing, whatever. I would not recommend a Staffie as a first time dog, as they can be a handful if not properly raised and socialized. Sheba was heavily socialized with other dogs from birth, and is not dog aggressive at all, although like her adopted aunt, Starr, the Pit Bull, she won't take too much **** from another dog before responding. I admire the fact that you are doing some research before getting the dog. Well done. David www.geocities.com/sammiesdad/dogs2.html |
