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.
