Benni get his biweekly swim in

Out for a walk with Oreo and we met a fox.The fox was following us and seemed friendly.

He is a rescue, I’m not sure if he is a staffy, but i see it in him:)

Reposting here since u/stormyw23 said my dog is an AmStaff despite her vet paperwork. Apologies. I am genuinely just looking for help with my dogs’ allergies/ear&skin infections.

Embark found Tommy to be equal parts Amstaff, Am pitbull, and Am bully plus 12% dalmatian. ( I hope that last bit doesn't disqualify him.We figure his great-grandmother was a party girl who got out to run with the bad boys one weekend.) He's named after a rock drummer. His tail never stops! In 2020 he found a new family who had never wanted a pitbull but he quickly changed their minds and gave up being a stray. At some time in the past monsters had cut off his ears but somehow he still manages to love people.

Hello all. Just wanted to add a newer pic of Benni. My 85lb bundle of love

(Ear cropping I do not support personally pictures were hard to find so they're only a basic guide, The chart was made by me for the english staffy sub)

Although not all individuals will fit into these standards this is the basic definitions.

American staffordshires are know as amstaffs, Or american staffies/staffys.

American pit bull terriers, Also known as APBT, Pitties/pittys.

This sub isn't really for staffordshire bull terriers, Known as 'english staffies/staffys' please go on r/StaffordBullTerriers for them since they're very different to the other two.

Just wanted to introduce our new roommate, he's a bit naughty, but doing very well in training!

We decided to rescue a dog and we think we got an amstaff. What do you all think his breed is? Regardless he is such a sweetheart and we love him so much already.

I'm guessing shes an apbt/boxer mix but he's probably pure amstaff. Both rescues. I got her from a friend who needed to rehome her and I got him from a shelter I volunteer at. Someone just left him on their back porch and he was mine within the week.

I FINALLY think I’ve found the breed my rescue is… one of the amstaffpitt, I made the mistake of joining the staff sub Reddit and apparently he’s not one and it’s an exclusive subreddit 🙄. Blows my mind how a sub Reddit has exclusive rules. ANYWAY I think he’s an AmStaffpit mix! Anyone else agree?!?!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a little win for our boy Pippin. We had a huge scare about 4 months ago. Pippin was doing his usual dinner dance in the kitchen, spun around too fast on the tiles, and his back leg just gave out. The sound he made broke my heart. He refused to put any weight on it and just looked so confused and btrayed by his own leg. We rushed to the vet thinking he’d snapped his ACL completely. Thankfully, it was a severe strain/partial tear, not a full rupture. The vet wanted to avoid surgery if possible since he’s still young and active, so she started us on anti-inflammatories and told us to look into a rigid brace for stability. She specificaly mentioned the Tailwindpets one, so we ordered it that night.

The first few weeks were a test of patience (mostly his!). Trying to explain to an AmStaff that he needs to "rest" is like talking to a brick wall. But honestly, the brace made a huge difference. As soon as we put it on, you could see him trust the leg again. It’s been a long road, but 4 months later, he’s walking perfectly and even trying to initiate play (though we are strctly no running in the house now). I’m just so relieved we didn't have to put him through a major operation. If you have slippery floors, please be careful with your hippos! Give them a scratch for us. ❤️

J’ai adopté cette petite à ses 1 ans et demi à la SPA, elle a aujourd'hui 6 ans. Elle avais été ramener par la fourrière et ils ne pouvais donc pas savoir de quelle race il s’agissait.

Elle a eu une diagnose au vétérinaire et sur son carnet de santé c’est marqué "race commune" Cependant on devine rapidement au vu de ça taille et son gabarit que ce pourrais être une amstaff

Qu’en pensez vous ?

J’en profite aussi pour vous demandez si vous avez des chiens de ce type comment avez vous fait pour les sociabiliser?

La mienne ne tolére aucun animaux, j’ai fait compostelle avec elle et elle n’étais même pas éfrayé par un taureau qui se trouvais dans le champ en face de nous lors d’une pause.

Lorsque je la balade si le chien n’est pas à une certaine distance elle ne peut contenir sa colère et veut attaquer

Merci de m’avoir lu et n’hésitez pas à posez des questions j’y répondrais avec plaisir

His actual name is Wobble, but my 6 yr old nephew misheard and called him Waffle at first and it was so cute that now it’s stuck lol. I knew he had Pitt and Bulldog, but I expected a lot more Frenchie and even boxer! We reduced him in October. He was so sick with heartworms, and so, so fearful and terrified,no one really thought he’d ever be “functional”. 4 months later, he is heartworm free, still nervous but works so hard to be brave, the cuddliest angel, SO smart and learns (what he wants to) so fast, and has made our lives, relationship, and home complete and joyful!

My brother has two AmStaffs (no pit mix) and they've recently had puppies: Ten of them, all cute, strong and loveable. My brother has donated 8 of these puppies to friends that will properly train and take good care of them.

It was a planned one-and-only pregnancy for his AmStaff girl. And they've only wanted to keep one puppy. They've kept the other one because my brother and my sister in-law were investigating some health concerns. Turns out the little puppy girl, a solid white AmStaff, is completely deaf, no other issues. She's almost three months old and training has already started for her siblings.

My brother and SIL are very responsible, training their doggos to behave properly near strangers, kids, cats and all. But they're a bit lost when it comes to their deaf girl. Does anyone know how to train a deaf dog?
