Is she or isn't she full staff?

[xnaomix55]

hi, we have 2 dogs Mia (black and white) and Jude (dark brindle and white). when we got Mia we was told she was a full staff, but then we got Jude and can see she is a full staff.
we now wonder if Mia may have something else in her, what do you think? :confused:

To be totally truthful I am not that familar with this breed to tell you looking at photos, but found this pic that looks like her..http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:x5FY9xlq44dkiM:www.breederretriever.c om/photopost/data/643/pit_7.jpg (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.breederretriever.com/photopost/data/643/pit_7.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.breederretriever.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/675/ppuser/19&h=350&w=261&sz=54&tbnid=x5FY9xlq44dkiM:&tbnh=120&tbnw=89&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dstafford%2Bterrier%26um%3D1&start=2&sa=X&oi=images&ct=image&cd=2)

Maybe you can go to the site and figure out if she is full blooded.

Mia looks enough like some purebred Staffies to me that I think she could be purebred herself.

What can be confusing sometimes is that even purebreds don't always look exactly like the breed standard, but they can still be purebreds. :)

she looks staffy to me, a little on the tall side, but beautiful all the same.
my 2 are long legged, thats how i see a proper staff. to me they are the original build for staffs

[xnaomix55]

ya my dad said the irish still breed their staff's to the original standard.and long legged staff's have been bred in the north of the uk for some yrs now also the american staff's are also long legged.
for me though i dont care if she is a staff or a mungral because she is still beautiful no matter what she is, i love her to death.

i love the taller staffs. i dont like to see staffs that are really short and fat.

[xnaomix55]

ya my dad said the reason the staff's are so short and small is that the uk kennal club set the standard many yrs ago and breeders bred to that standard to show at krufts ect.

i totally agree and personally like the taller staffs.
each to their own.

My staff has long gangley legs and thats how they should be in my eyes i hate to see them short and stubby
she looks like a staff to me

I don't no too much about the breed but I have found that girl staffs can have a Different head to the boys, with the boys looking more bully
