Pic I took today of him. http://m.flickr.com/photos/98318842@N03/9217688611/

I have played rough with him but he is'nt that rough I ment when he's playing around bitting etc. He's currently always on a 20ft lead at this time because we're missing part of our back fence (just got a new house), I put him on another lead when taking him to the toilet so he's free to go where ever he wants. And while walking him around a back yard ive been teaching him to walk behide or beside me, when he starts to lead me all I say is heal and he stops and waits untill he's back beside me or behide. With the muzzel thing I agree it might draw attention see how he goes and then I'll deside if he needs one or not but I highly dout I will need one, as I think he will do ok, well I want to beleave so.

Yeah I'll deffently keep the obedience training up and do what I can when any issues come up. I'm abit "how you doing" when he's around my two year old but he's good with her, plays soft with her compared to how he plays with me. I cant fully trust how he would react with other animals (dogs) as it has'nt been put to the test yet besides vet visits, and have'nt really had him for that long to know how he would, but at the vet he got really curious tail wagging and all. I plan on getting a muzzel when he gets abit bigger and stronger just to be sure, but people might take it the wrong way when walking him and so on. Thanks for everyone's answers, tips and help with all my concerns and questions that have popped up. :D

He's registered as an american staffy. He is pritty well behaved but is real protective of our house everytime someone walks by he barks and stands ground. He has been fully vacinated but vet said I cant take him out for two weeks which ends this monday (cant wait). I've found a training school in my area for pups of his age, we'll be starting that in about 2 weeks time so I can socialise him with other dogs and people. I think he'll go good, I've tought him some basic obedience but would like to work on it more and find other ways to go about it.

If he's crossed or not still like him. He's good with the family. The only issue we have had with him is at one stage he was growling when we went close to him while he was eating and twice he went to go and bite but thats all sorted at the momment. I was really hoping he was'nt pitty, because he could be terminated and me fined correct?

Do you think his father could also or may be a pitbull? And he has sold them off as amstaffs

I read that amstaffs can have red noses but are'nt fit for show if that makes sence. I agree with everything you said. I'm not much of a writter so sorry for keeping it short and sweet.

I'm starting to think now that he may be crossed with pitty, whats the cost for dna testing him? I've owned both american and english staffies in the past, I know how energetic they are and have read the history behide the breed. The only dogs I'll ever keep, love them lol.

This is his dad.

That I'm aware of both his parents looked to be. I'll post a pick of them.

And another. His dad was a blue & white amstaff and mother was a brown amstaff with a red nose. http://m.flickr.com/lightbox?id=9189424557

Here he is if it worked. http://m.flickr.com/lightbox?id=9189407827

I know cant wait untill he gets to his full size. Any idea how I can post a pic of him from my phone? Dont own a computer anymore.

His waste line is real thin I got weight onto him but he loses it like nothing but looks healthy. And I'm using a phone and wont allow me to post pics or I have no clue how to do so.

I have a amstaff that was born on 04/03/13 and was last weighed on the 25/06/13 at 8.9kg, is this a good weight for his age?
