some more pictures of Deacon so u can all see how he is getting on.
these are pictures taken on his first walk with alex's mum and dads Staffie cross Sam. They got on really well although Deacon did just want to play and sam being slightly older just wanted to concentrate on his walk!

also a picture of deacon and carys relaxing and watching tv.

things are going really well and he is much more settled and his challeges against us have decreased alot it was on average happening a couple of times a day and now we are having days with no tantrums and he does what he is asked to do no probs. it is still an issue but it is now one we are feeling much more confident with.

deacon is feeling slightly sorry for himself at the moment as he has developed a limp on his back leg and although he walks on it he tends to hold it up when standing we have not walked him for a couple of days and we are monitoring it hopefully he has just strained it if not we will take him to the vets on monday for a check up.

Regular contact with Deacon's family. He is doing really well great off the lead now; great with other dogs; great with the children. Can get into a mood when told off as though he is used to telling it how it is and telling his owner off as though he is having his say! But can be managed and bought around. His family are full of praises and know that as time goes by he will have less need to react to 'No's'

hi all just thought I would update deacon's thread. he is doing well and has settled more and more he still has his moments but we are working on that think it will just take time. the kids love him and he is very tolerant of there over enthusiastic hugs when they are watching tv he stretches out across all there laps.

we love him to pieces was wondering if any one had any advice on one bit of behaviour that has only just developed and I dont know why several times now he has disapered chasing traffic he is fine with cars driving past and walking down roads thats not an issue but if we are in a park or field and he can hear a busy road or catches sight of fast moving traffic through a hedge he goes mad and trys to reach it.

im a bit worried because he has been brilliant off the lead and his recall even with another dogs around has been much improved but in the park the other day without warning he got through a fence and crossed two fields to get to the road and disapered from sight. luckily as I was looking for him a farmer brought him back saying he had found him some way up in the road. I am going to have to keep him on a lead but his energy levels are much better if he has chased a ball or had a run. so any ideas on how to tell him traffic is bad ?

otherwise things are going well. we did have a row with a man in the park yesterday who told us he had to now put his dog on a lead because it sometimes went for dogs like deacon as deacon was a fighting dog like a pit bull. and he was surprised we had one with 3 young kids etc etc we politly told him any dog could turn and that deacon wasent dog aggressive and was on a lead anyway he started saying they could bite your face off we walked away. his little dog that he had'nt bothered putting on a lead then followed us all the way up the path sniffing deacons bum. deacon was good as gold and ignored it. the man then had to come and get it and carried on trying to argue that staffs were a menace to society. we told him to go home and google the breed and find out there considered a nanny dog and are not people aggresive. arggg what an aragant man.

never mind deacon behaved perfectly until he had gone then tried to get the traffic on an ajacent road lol.

Deacon was an absolute stunner flame red brindle coat and such a well proportioned boy he turned heads where ever he went.

We are so grateful Deacon foun d his wonderful family who saw through his incessent barking sessions when he first arriived.

Thank you for giving him a close family experience and give your children such a wonderful experience of lovely Deacon and always loving the breed which were in the family but Deacon was their very own.

Peace be with you Deacon
