About Bodhi
Introducing BODHI of The Winter Litter❄️, eight adorable puppies born on 10 May 2025.
Bodhi’s Mum is an English Staffy x Amstaff and his Dad is a Mastiff mix, a hybrid known as a "Staffy Mastiff". We expect Bodhi to be 35+ kgs at maturity.
With soulful eyes and the sweetest little nature, Bodhi is the kind of pup who melts the heart of everyone he meets. He’s gentle, affectionate, and always watching the world around him like he’s taking it all in — and then pouncing straight into play mode.
Bodhi is a total snuggle bug, loves belly rubs, and is already learning the basics like a clever little champ. He’d thrive in a home that can offer love, patience, and lots of adventures as he grows.
Staffy Mastiffs are big, gentle, mixed breed dogs. If properly socialised from an early age, they adore children and are excellent guardian dogs whose size and muscular appearance will deter intruders. They even make great companions for the elderly. They are good with dogs they know. If introduced to cats at an early age, they can also be cat friendly. They like a backyard to snooze and play in.
If you want a lazy, lovable companion, a Staffy Mastiff like Bodhi may be the right dog for you.
However, they can have a stubborn streak, so are not necessarily a good choice for first-time dog parents. They do best with an experienced pet parent who can handle the firm training these dogs require to reach their full potential.
But a well-trained and well-socialised Staffy Mastiff can be a wonderful family dog, loyal and protective of their pack, low maintenance and simply delightful to be around.
What We're Looking for in Forever Homes for the Winter Litter:
* - Loving and dedicated owners who can provide attention and care
* - A safe and comfortable environment for our puppies to grow and thrive
* - Owners who are committed to training and socialization
As always, secure fencing is essential and large breed experience will be highly regarded.
