Story
I adopted galaxy when she was 1 years old. A owner had a child and she (the brindle staffy pit) needed more attention that the family could not give. She is sweet and gentle with animals and children. Shes obedient. Use simple words and hand gestures for commands. She lays around with mama of the house unless gambit bothers her. She is going on 7 and is mature. She/both love walks and parks. She likes Play time with other dogs but only outside. She can be excitable on the leash but only because she wants to play. Gambit was 3 months when we got him. He is a big dog and needs an Alfa male to listen too. He loves the women in the house. He gentle and affectionate with them but is not the same with men. He is tougher and ruff-houses with the boys. I don’t know how he is with other dogs outside of galaxy. He is dominant and protective and every now end then goes for what he wants, that’s why I say he needs a strong male that can discipline him. *I want them to be adopted together please!
