I'm going to introduce my almost 2 year old AmStaff mix. He's a sweetheart and we wouldn't trade him for the world. My fiance and I rescued him at 6 months old while he was on death row. The week after we brought him home he became very ill. Mater had kennel cough and parvo. The vet said that he wouldn't be surprised if Mater didn't make it a week but here we are almost a year and a half later with our turd burglar
Oh my goodness! He is so ADORABLE!!!! Love the ears!
It's too bad he got parvo and kennel cough right after you got him! That's a tough one. I wonder if AmStaffs are more prone to Parvo like Pits, Rotties, Dobies, and sled dogs are?
But yeah, all dogs are prone to parvo, but for some reason, those breeds, and possibly a couple others, are more prone to getting it. The reasons are unknown, but I've done some research on it, and it's listed on most places that I've read about Parvo.
What a handsome boy!!! I'm with natalie, though, in my house he would totally have a freckle butt nickname.
Such a cute face, and good for you for rescuing him!
