A very good post K9media.

I fear you might be wrong about the dog fighting bit tho.
I had heard non fighting dogs are used to  kind of warm up the crowd before the big show  It truly doesn't bare thinking of.
I really really wish something could be done about these animals (the ones without four legs) It makes me feel physically sick to think how some people behave.

Yes they are

I think Molly (Golden) will tolerate anything and Yemi knows a good thing when she sees it 

I think a lot of people don't believe me when I say how they sleep and to be honest I didn't expect them to still be doing it when Yemi was near enough full grown.

Thanks for the welcome 

very good 

excellent 

This is one of the reasons I got Yemi.
I spent months reading around the internet when I decided to get another dog. I had never really given much thought to getting a Staff as I was never fond of their appearance  Yes I wanted something fluffy and cute 
However my main concern was getting a dog with a good reputation with kids. Which brought me back to Staffs every time. I took my son (5 years ) with me when I went to view Yemi. I didn't even look at the puppies until I had spent time with their mom. Once I had decided their mom was a brilliant dog. I looked at the puppies and Yemi chose me 
 The best thing I ever did.

Thanks for the welcome  

I'm sure I will enjoy chatting with you all.

I have spent ages reading around your site. I'm going to look and see if you have a forum for doggy photos. I do love looking at who owns who  


Edit. that's a clever feature, "warning 2 more replies since i started typing"

Thanks Riley and Caz 

Yes, here it is. It's a really bad photo  I had to take it through the window because if they see me they move. I have no idea why they sleep like this. They have done it since the day I got the Staff. They do it both outside and in  ??: i guess they are just inseparable

Thanks for the welcome 
Yes I have a bigger version. It was taken a while back now when the Staff was a lot smaller. She still sleeps on top of the golden  and she we weighs a ton now.

I'll post it here. If that's OK,



I took some more photos of Yemi on her live rug  yesterday I will see if they are any good.

I couldn't agree more. I have a Staff, the first I have owed. She is nearly one now and is the brightest dog I have every owned. By far the best in our obedience class and so loving 

Hi everyone
I'm looking forward to chatting to you all.
I have an 11 year old Golden Retriever and a Staff who will be a year old in April.
