Are there any health problems with a Staffie?
Staffies are sturdy by their nature. These muscular dogs are considered to be healthy and robust, but even the toughest dogs can have health problems. Like other dog breeds, Staffies have their own common health problems, and even some hereditary problems that can develop.
How long does it take for a staffy to go blind?
Cataracts are a progressive disorder, so if you don’t get the problem treated early your dog can go blind within 2 – 4 years. The symptoms of cataracts include vision problems (such as being unable to properly judge distances and constantly bumping into things) and a film over your Staffy’s eyes that cause cloudy-looking pupils.
Why do some Staffies have thinner hair than others?
The issue is considered to be a hereditary problem. Staffies in particular seem to be genetically predisposed to cyclic follicular dysplasia, which is a seasonal variation of the disorder. As the name suggests, there will be times of the year where their hair will appear thinner than usual.
