I kno this isnt rep related , but im fit to burst . We have been waiting to hear fm our landlord if we were allowed a dog as i couldnt get one and find we could no longer keep it should he find out . in the mean time i had a look round to find adult staffys in need of rescuing or rehoming and came across this little one . Hes two and an ex crufts dog , they sent a few pics of him there . I have been out today to get all the supplies for him as we are allowed to have him on a trial to see how he likes us and vice versa . Im now just waiting to see when they can bring him over to see us and begin the trial . I have always grown up with a dog , but never had a furry friend of my own so im bouncing off the walls now that we have all his things :)
Meet Ziggy
thanks for looking :) |

Aww thats lovely and great you are getting a rescue rather than a pup and what a smart little lad he is too though he needs his white socks pulling up.

My dog does this, starts with a almost inaudible whistle and gets louder and louder. I wanted to buy some little nostril corks to silence his little whistle but now I'm so used to it that I'd be worried if he was quiet. |

Thanks for all the comments picked him up tonite . The choke collar wasnt ours , they were the pics they sent us . Got rid and got a nice collar and gonna get a harness for him . He is a power house but so so loving ! I need to get him out of the habbit of jumping up for fuss as hes got some power behind him . He is currently sitting on the.sofa and cant decide who to hug up to lol !
Owner has four staffs and kids and his work had slacked off and he knew ziggy wud be the most adaptable . You can tell he isnt settled when we are moving around but now we are on the sofa he is finally calming and shutting his eyes bless .
We wanted to rescue an adult as there are so many just dyimg for a home . And hes come from a loving family home with kids . Hope the trial goes smoothly too :)
For some reason i have trouble findin people on fb , have a look for laura moore . Im in a white tank top n look like a boxer haha ! |

| Aww, he's gorgeous! Hope it goes well and he becomes a permanent member of the family Good luck breaking the 'jumping up' habit, my girl will be 7 yrs old next week and despite being trained to KCGC silver standard she still becomes a nutter when someone talks to her, jumps up and there's no stopping her |
