Would love a staffy, wife not keen not because of the breed, but her cousin has one and its a brute super soft and just follows you a round but he needs constant attention and just becomes over powering. I love the wee fella as does our Ollie.

I've fostered five or six staffies over the last few years and they're amazingly variable according to their age. The younger ones just want to be ON YOU AT ALL TIMES AND THEY LOVE YOU SO MUCH and the older ones just want to be cotching on the sofa or the bed with you and are the most chilled hounds I've ever known (with the exception of them being prone to separation anxiety).

For us we found that fostering (then foster failing) older staffies was our ideal. They're already house trained, and they just want to snooze and snuggle. Fully recommend it.

You say that...
My mates have a 8-10year old staffy (also weighs about 8-10 stones...) and he is convinced he is a small puppy.
Loves jumping on you for a cuddle.

Softest lump you will ever meet.

(they adopted him maybe 4 years ago)

edit: older rescue staffy would be my choice for 2nd dog in our house, need something to chill our Border Terror out (nearly 6months old, actually a delight, but very excitable in the park and loves to ignore us)

Ideal hound. I think that manic tendency is more pronounced when they're a) male and b) have a bit of terrier in them. All our fosters have been older ladies crossed with other bull breeds (or boxers) which I suspect has an impact.
