Photographs New Dog (Amstaff aka American Stafford)

[stovebolts]

A few months ago we lost our dog of 14 years which left our other dog in a state of disfunction and loneliness. So, we started looking at the dog shelters and found a cute”mixed breed” that just happened to be a full bred American Stafford. She’s about 18 months old and just a sweetheart! She was about 15 pounds under weight when we first got her, and she was never socialized because she was a rescue dog from a puppy mill and yes, she’s already had a litter prior to being rescued.
We’ve got some work to do socializing her, but I think we’ll get there!
I’ll post some recent pictures I’m my next post, but She’s up to her normal weight now which is about 55 pounds and she’s really settling in!

Ha, mine (she) loves tug of war. I might get two tosses of whatever we’re playing with.

Her name is Penney and she’s not socialized. I had her in a 6 week training class that’s really helped with other dogs. As you know, these dogs are the biggest sweethearts, but they will never back down to another dog. I’ve taken her out several times and can attest to this. Anyway, I now carry treats and “Watch me” is a key word. It helps when she gets aggressive with other dogs and calms her down, not to mention it gives me a chance to grab her by the collar and control her head. It works!

We have a rat terrier that is an awesome hunter and he’s teaching her to catch moles, chipmunk and squirrels ! Yeah…. She’s a digger for sure!
