The normal of length of pregnancy for a Dog of any breed is about 9 weeks. Between 63 and 65 days is normal, but should your Dog reach her 69th day of pregnancy you should take her to a veterinarian as she may need a caesarian or labour-inducing injections.
hi i was just wondering if you could tell me if my dog is in labour an how long could it take for her to give birth! she is panting whining moving about alot trying to get comfy but carnt she is also nesting and milk is coming out of her teats many thanks
They can give birth after 6 months of age.
This can vary enormously from dog to dog, some dogs give birth in only a couple of minutes, others can take hours.
About 12 months for the skeletal frame but up to 5 years for substance. A stafford should mature late, 3 years being ideal.
About 8 months.
A normal pregnancy lasts about 63 days.
For 63 to 65 days.
Since the 17th century where it emerged from a cross between Bull Terriers and other terriers of the time. At this time they were used for blood sports like bull baiting and bear baiting. These dogs provided the ancestral foundations for Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Bull Terriers, the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier. This common ancestor was known as the Bull and Terrier. After these bloodsports were eliminated in 1835 these dogs came to be used in dogfights.
Staffordshire bull terriers usually have a lot of energy, but they can live in a small home as long as they get daily walks. If not, they will become frustrated and can become destructive.
Staffordshire Bull Terriers are usually between 14-16 inches tall at the shoulder - but there are the exceptions.
Female American Staffordshire Terriers (Pit Bull Terriers) come into season once every six months and it lasts for 10-14 days.
because of lots of cross breeding and in-breeding. the same reasons why jack russels all look different.
Staffordshire Bull Terriers have an average lifespan of between 12 and 14 years, whereas Boxers have an average lifespan of between 10 and 12 years. This means that you could expect a Stafford and Boxer cross to live for around 12 years, if not longer.
i don't no but i know the American bull terrier is banned in Ireland well that's wot i read... Yes Pit Bull Terriers are banned in the UK and if found with one you will be fined taken to Court and the dog will be put down so not a very good idea you should probably just get a staff :) x
Staffordshire Bull Terriers were bred in an age where Bull baiting and Dog fighting were still seen as 'sports'. Bull baiting is when a tethered bull has trained Dogs set on it so that onlookers can bet on either how many Dogs the Bull can kill or how long it takes for the Dogs to kill the Bull. A similar blood sport was using bears. Dog fighting was organised in pits where people would bet on which Dog would win; this is also how the Pit Bull Terrier originated. Luckily, these 'sports' have been illegal for more than a century. Unfortunately, organised Dog fights still take place illegally in some countries. Today, Staffordshire Bull Terriers make great pets and family members.
Both of these breeds are illegal in the UK. The main difference between these two breeds is that American Staffordshire Terriers have a recognised, official breed standard, whereas Pit Bull Terriers do not. Pit Bull Terriers are not actually an official breed.
It depends it can start from 6 months. We thought our staffy was too young and took her to the vet. It does not mean that the dog is old enough to have babies but it can start as young as five months.
Firstly, the Pit Bull is not actually a breed, but the term is used to refer to breeds such as the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and sometimes the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Assuming by ''Pit Bull'' you mean the American Pit Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier, the difference is that the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a few inches shorter, weighs less and was first bred in England. ''Pit Bull'' type dogs are unfortunately illegal in many countries, such as the UK, with the exception of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier; which is still legal.
Staffordshire Bull Terriers can vary considerably within the breed, with some being described as ''short and stocky'' and some being described as ''long-legged and athletic''. Unless your Staffy is Kennel Club registered with pedigree papers, there is every chance that it may be a crossbreed with a taller breed such as a Pit Bull Terrier or Lurcher. This is not necessarily the case however, as some purebred Staffies are simply taller than others. My pedigree Staffordshire Bull Terrier was all-leg until she reached a year old and started to bulk out. Don't worry, every Dog is different!
