I have got a professional dog trainer coming over tomorrow, he actually has staffys himself. I will seek his advice and go from there. If he says get rid of them i will, if he can convince me I can do something with these pups, and devise a way for my young bloke to have some sort of small involvent until they are fully trained, i might, might consider keeping them, but its a might til the professional twists my ear.

At this stage, he is saying that the dog next door, barking like a lunatic at the fence for 3 days non stop would have stirred the growing puppies up and he wanted to know if my dogs were barking at the fence, or running up and down along the fence / what else was happening just prior to the 2 of them going at my son. (the dog next door was being minded by my neighbours and it has now gone back to where it came from, and it was a viscious bloody thing that never stopped attacking the fence and carrying on etc).

Since it has gone, the pups havent bit the young bloke or been aggressive at all. But i dont 100 percent trust any animal, so any involvement i ever let my son have with these or any dogs ever will be very minor and totally supervised from now on. Spoke to thye breeder, i have seen the pups parents, veasy easy going/placid to the max, and the bloodline history according to the breeder is placid from the parents/granparents etc. She thinks the dog next door at the fence was the cause etc. We dont have dogs anywhere near our property so thats a good situation to have til i sort things out.

anyway, stay tuned for the bill $$ i get from the dog trainer, and the advice i get.
