Conditioning

if you don't mind me asking, how is he bred? I like the taller, athletic staffs myself. Unfortunately most staffs are now 15inches and 40 lbs. with an overly exaggerated head.

 

You can start a dog working at that age but make sure your not trying to build muscle (resistance training) or you could hurt the dogs joints. Adjust the feed to maintain a healthy weight with some fat covering the ribs and no spine or hip bones showing. Don't push the pup or expect him/her to look like a well muscled adult dog as they are still in the filling out stage with less bone density. Be patient and hopefully with some work at a younger age you will have an adult dog that really takes to a larger workload and is easy to condition.

Unfortunately i dont know any background further than his parents. His dad was tall and his mum was short , sorry.

 

Ok thanks for the advice.
