Well, we decided to get a dog last year having had dogs when we both lived at home and missing them when we moved out. I have always had Schnauzers - a fab breed (i was devastated when we lost Spike our last one) and my husband has always had German Pointers.

We decided to get one that was completely different for both of us so we could learn about it together and having done endless research we decided on a staffie. we wanted to ensure that they would be good with children and be affectionate.

we went to meet a breeder expecting pups before they were born and talked at length about the breed and met our pups mum before he was born so we could decide on the breed ... i fell in love

Staffies are just wonderful, Oscar is a wonderful addition he is affectionate and i am completely in love. I am looking forward to trying my hand in the show ring with him and love coming home to a smiling face and a thousand licks!!! Highly recommend the breed
