• What are people's honest thoughts on having a medium sized dog in a flat? I probably won't be living in a house for 2-3 years.

    85sqm, first floor, opposite a 200 acre park. Obviously it is not ideal as it can't chill in my non existent garden when I am at home working for example.

    I would love a staffy. Ideally would rescue one that is 1-2 years old. All the rescue centres I have looked at online mandate you need a garden for any dog. So I'd have to get one from Pets for Homes

  • I would love a staffy

    Staffy X rescue owner here (people keep asking if she's a pit bull but lets not go there) and would definitely recommend the breed. However, and this is based purely on other rescue owners i've met, you'll probably need some good luck to find a 1-2 years old Staff from a limited resource pool that is well trained/adjusted. As others have said with care and attention there's no reason you can't make the flat situation work but if you're getting a rescue just be mindful of the work that might be required.

  • cheers. Got a book or two off here on training dogs to read. I want to know what should be done from a pup training wise in case I go that route/ probably good knowledge to have
