your guys are gorgeous. thor is a stunning dog and millie is gorgeous! mad ears!

dolly doesnt eat quite that much, she weighs in at just under 17kg but she's quite tall for a female staffie. she eats 250g of loaf with about a mugful of mix and then either black pudding, fish or sausage on top. she gets that twice a day plus a few little bits inbetween.

it sounds like a lot but we walk nearly 4 miles a day everyday so she burns it off quickly. i dont think she'd be too happy if i showed her a threadmill after all that walking! she'd be disgusted

shes a stunning dog, she would be millies size judging by the pics, same sort of diet intake, shes stunning colours and i can see you treat her very well, i love to meet other staff owners, are ya from dub?? ya say ya walk her 4k, would love to join ya with millie or thor, we need to fix the poor rep they have got of people who have never owned them...

shes a beut, fair play man would love to meet her someday:cool:

edit.. yeah sorry your dead right, millie has mad ears, they never drop, but she hears everything, she loves the postman lol

im over in dublin 8. me and another mate usually go out on a sunday and walk the grand canal or else go to memorial park in chapelizod and walk along the liffey.

you're more than welcome to come along. we always end up meeting staffie and PBTs along the walk. i'd say to bring millie because while dolly is fine with other dogs, my mates staff is male and intact so he doesnt get on with other males. he loves the bitches though :cool:

drop me a pm when you can next make it and we'll organise.

Awh them babys are beautiful!

Our lad is a lazy sod....all he wants to do is sleep in the chair!
if he seen a thread mill id say he'd take off the other direction!
but loves his walks...up to 4miles and runs along beside the bike!
He gets a pint full of dry food a day and left overs from dinner...He aint fussy at all will eat anything...if let!

Well this is him <Paddy>



He also loves to eat small children!! < so some people think! >

Hi there, you say your dog is a champion,

Do you show him in Ireland at IKC shows? I show dogs too and my friend shows staffies, just wondering what shows you have been at and when did he get his last green star?

would love to bring my bully out for meets like this, but hes only 12 weeks so no way would he be able to walk 4 miles but when hes bigger, id say him and thor could get on as hes very big for 12 weeks, hes 10kg of just muscle so he will be a big male.
