Staffordshire Bull Terriers make great family pets hence the breeds well deserved nickname 'The Nanny Dog'. They are companion dogs; very loyal and loving. They are an intelligent and active breed therefore you must have time on your hands to ensure they get lots of exercise.
Socialisation with other dogs is paramount for any puppy/young dog to grow up well balanced.


Estella Teddy Bear

Estella was hit by a car and the owners could not afford veterinary care and asked if the RSPCA could take her in. The first couple of photos show how extensive her injuries were; her knee cap was knocked out and she had an infection so amputation was discussed but thankfully her leg was saved. She was also 2kg's underweight upon arrival. She was taken in by one of our wonderful fosterers where she had cage rest and LOTS of TLC! Just look at her now!

Estella has been fully vaccinated, micro-chipped, wormed/flead and spayed. She had an xray; thankfully no fractures. She has now recovered but may still have a sore hip from time to time; she has metacam for this.

Estella has a beautiful temperament, she is so incredibly friendly and affectionate. She is a small traditional Staffie. A few words from her fosterer: Estella is perfect in the house; clean, quite and welcoming to visitors. She watches people and dogs pass the garden but never barks. She has been fantastic with Francine and never has shown any aggression whatsoever, even when she was in so much pain. She loves to snuggle up on the sofa in the evenings. also, she likes to eat fresh fruit (apples and pears) and raw veg whist I am preparing meals!

We've been advised that Estella is fine with other dogs but because she's been on house rest for a few weeks we've not been able to introduce her to other dogs. She is very strong on the lead and needs some lead training, we recommend a harness.

Just look at that beautiful little face, how can anyone resist those big puppy dog eyes!
