Doesn't look staffy to me either.

I wouldn't have paid £100 for either - although they are very cute, I wouldn't line the pockets of an irresponsible breeder, if I wanted a purebred, I'd go to a responsible breeder who KC registered their pups, as then at least I'd know the bitch hadn't been bred from repeatedly or too young (the main reasons why naff breeders dont KC register their pups).

That £100 would have been better spent in a rescue, at least you'd get back up then, and not a breeder who'll sell you a mongrel as a purebred then bugger off to another country

Good luck though - pretty pups no matter what they are

Nobody said it was a mastiff at all! What they said was that it looked like it could have mastiff in it because it seemed to have too much loose skin around the neck area, which isn't normal in staffy puppies.

And how do you imagine KC checks or controls this? I know breeders who have papers belonging to buitches which never existed because they or their friends register a phantom bitch from each litter. This allows them to register puppies using that paperwork no matter whether it's the bitches first litter at 9 months old or whether she has had 8 litters in 4 years. The kennel club does nothing more than take money, make money and register. They make no checks at all.

(the main reasons why naff breeders dont KC register their pups).

a lot of really dodgy puppy farmers always register their puppies because the know that really naive people believe KC registration means something, like the mother has only had XX amount of litters, doesn't get bvred too early, doesn't have a litter every 6 months. In reality all this happens and all the puppies registered on false papers.

That £100 would have been better spent in a rescue, at least you'd get back up then, and not a breeder who'll sell you a mongrel as a purebred then bugger off to another country

given the massive numbers of staffies and staffy crosses in rescue, I agree with you there.

As long as you are happy with your pup- who cares? Hopefully he will be healthier for it!
