GL Note:

boonieboo & andrewmc1980 Can you take the general chit chat to PM please or we'll never find a new home for the fluffy fella !

Ok tell us more about the guy - What's his temperement like ? What's he like with other dogs & kids etc ?

Good Luck !!

he is great with kids I have 2yr old girl and he is an absolute gem with her not sure about other dogs because he is a staffie scared owners wont let there dogs near him but i think he should be ok....

he does chase next doors cat out of my garden but what dog doesn't chase cats

He looks like a lovely dog is he average sized ?

sure his he is fit as a fiddle and his coat is gorgeous

why don't you get him neutered before you rehome him. if you want a voucher i can get you one?
pm me if you do
rr

Rain, can you get vouchers for speying?

Aww he's gorgeous!

You say you are forced to sell him because of a new baby; but he is great with you 2yr-old - so I assume the reason you need to sell him is due to lack of time you can afford him because of the baby?

If that is the case, would you prefer to keep him if some kind of dog-share was possible (to take some of the responsibility from you)?

Just a thought? :)

Shame you are too far for me I would have helped

Having a staffie is a lot more dangerous with a new born around than it is with a 2yr (more like 3yr also March 31st she is 3)..

If it was up to me I would be keeping him unfortunately its not its up to the missus..

I can get vouchers for speying and neutering staffys, staffy x's, rottis and rottix 's

Are you going to get him castrated before he goes to save more unwanted staffy's and their crosses being put to sleep. He looks an absolutely stunning boy. Should you decide to rehome him without a fee - i will put him up on my web site and you can make a donation to our rescue - that may get some interest.

The gutter press should be hung drawn and quatered for this

the number of dogs we've had advertised on this forum since the over hype over dog attacks. Have a look for the thread we have about the staffie who saved her owner's life when the house caught fire - funny how most reports left her breed out

Would a period of fostering help you to persuade your wife she's over reacting? assuming your first child has not been savaged to death by your dog ;)


Do you crate train? Any dog is safe round kids if crate trained

I had a staffie here for over a week who wasn't that keen on my own dog (I was fostering for rehoming), but we managed fine with the aid of careful use of baby gates (which you'll most likely have anyway) and a dog cage each

One Staffie I had overnight when he'd been lost by an owner during a house move took to caging so quickly that he and my dog were fighting over who got to sit in the cage :rolleyes:

Exactly Strix, i just cannot understand why anyone would want to get rid of part of their family due to having a new baby especially when this family already has a child! It doesn't make sense. Plus there are also many solutions to a temperary problem, such as fostering (as Strix suggested) and crate training.

Unless OP you're adamant you want rid and no amount of advice will help, in which case good luck but unfortunately Staffies are being abandoned here there and everywhere at the moment so re-homing may take a little longer than you'd expect and i hope he doesn't end up in a rescue centre :(

Its my partner who wants to get rid of him and as any husband will know if your wife says do something you do it..

As for being family we only got him 2 month ago before we found out about the pregnancy..

Strix

can you explain what crate training means I have never heard that saying before

I can kind of understand your point more, now you have mentioned you've only had him 2 months. Although my OH definately wouldn't let me get rid of my 2 staffies, would rather get rid of me :hihi:

I will ask around for you, is price negotiable? Also would he be collection from Doncaster only?

Of course. Gladly :)

Brude is my beagle. He's crate trained - on advice of his breeder, as beagles are born destructive, and stay destructive, which can be harmful to them if they choke whilst you are out, or if they eat something harmful (which no kitchen cupboard can keep them away from)

Here's a link to a very good crate manufacturer:
Croft (http://www.croftonline.co.uk/mcp/Dog_crates_and_cages.html)


We have a small crate in the car for travel (a large one leaves too much space to slide about, and can result in injury) and a large on in the house for leaving him for periods of time

He always comes on holiday with us, and many hotels have waived the dog fee having seen the crate carried in, and some have even dog sat for us knowing he's safe in his cage. He always settles much quicker and is less likely to bark at unfamiliar noises etc if his crate is available to hide in ;)

think about it - a dog feels secure in a small space. Any dog without a crate/cage tends to make a den under a table, desk, bed, under the stairs - small confined spaces to feel secure in :)

Here's what Croft have to say about crate training (http://www.croftonline.co.uk/sitepage/TrainingPage.html) - scroll down a bit, past all the dog barking collar blurb :rolleyes:
