Hi there
I am about to purchase a new staffy pup and am waiting on news when litters arrive as to when/if I will be able to get one. One of the breeders has offered me a 9 mth old staffy girl who looks lovely but I am unsure as to whether she will fit into our family well at this age. I have two young children, and two other staffies. I am after suggestions for questions I should ask the girl's owner, so far, I will ask:
*Has she been around children, how much time does she spend around them - has it been supervised?
*How is she around the children?
*How is she with other dogs - what contact has she had?
A big part of me is quite concerned and would prefer to be starting from scratch as a lot of bad habits and behaviours can develop in 9 months, but part of me also thinks that she could be good, and that I wouldn't have to do all the tricky little puppy business...
What do you think?
