British Staffies are my fave!

I love the fact that they are small dogs, but are "butch". My 8-month old Staffy, Sarge is just wonderful. Apart from the fact he chews EVERYthing he can sink his teeth into when hes bored, or alone.. but thats Staffies for ya.

They are just so loyal, its heartwarming. I wouldn't change him for anything. They have so much energy.. but I figured out how to "fix" that. Take him for a decent walk earliyish in the day. Not overdoing it.. but a decent distance for them, Did this with Sarge & he slept on & off the entire afternoon!

I realise this section is about favurite breeds, but I was warned against exercising young dogs too much too young, and was wondering if anyone knows what would be "too much" for a dog like Sarge. When I take him for walks, I don't run him, though he does tug a bit at the leash initially, but we live in a hilly area, and if anyone could give me an idea of a suitable distance for example, I would be grateful. Sort of aiming to walk a decent distance about 3 times a week.

Also, when we get our own place (buy instead of renting) we are gonna get a female Boxer as a companion for him, so if anyone knows anything about Boxers, some info or hearing of peoples experiences, would be handy. Thank you.
