 The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or Staffy, is a solid, muscly, strong dog who, despite their tough look, are big teddy bears on the inside. Most of who have been lucky enough to love a Staffy can confirm, they are people stuck in dogs bodies and act accordingly! The breed originated in Staffordshire, England (hence their name) back in the 19th century. They are a mix between Bulldogs and other Terrier type dogs. They rose to popularity in the United States in the 20th century and over time were bred to a larger size then originally bred, which led to the naming of the English Staffy. The Staffy is strong willed dog who is not for everyone. To avoid poor behaviour, boundaries and rules must be set and followed. Without this, they can become destructive and will easily become the ruler of the roost if allowed to. This can also lead to anxiety and behavioural issues very quickly. A Staffy has two speeds, a million miles an hour at full throttle or asleep… there is no in between. They are fantastic for an active lifestyle and thrive on daily mental and physical stimulation. They are a dedicated dog that with the right pack leader and very obedient and affectionate. As with other breeds, if raised from a young age correctly, they can happily live with other household pets, ensuring corrections are given when needed as they can get easily excitable very quickly. Their short coat offers an easy to maintain coat all year round, with regular brushing preventing too much shedding all over the house and bathing only as needed. The Staffy can be found in varying colours including, red, tan, black, blue and brindle with or without white markings too.
As we near the long awaited end of 2020 comes the time to announce our second last Dog of the Month for possibly the strangest year of our lives! We are excited to announce that the crown holder for the month is....  Max This beautiful boy is full of life and does not act his age! He is full of character and always provides plenty of entertainment. He also pulls off the silver fox look pretty good too!
Congratulations Max!

Anything else of interest Marysville suffered greatly during the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires, amongst Australia’s all time worst natural disasters. Of 400 buildings in the town, only 14 were left standing. Marysville’s recovery since the devastating event is remarkable, and tourism is a key factor in helping the area continue to recover. As we start to enter the end stretch of 2020, who can believe what a year we have had! We are so grateful we have been able to continue to care and help our essential workers during this crazy time we are living through by caring for their dogs when they are unable. That brings us to our October Dog of the Month announcement, which comes with two celebrations! Congratulations to....  Milo! Milo is everything that is great about a Golden Retriever, he is sweet, goofy and loves everyone and everything! He is great at giving cuddles too!
We have been lucky enough to care for Milo while his Mum has been hard working in the health care industry and we can't thank her enough for everything she does! We love being able to have Milo enjoy his holiday with us and send him home nice and tired for his Mum! |
