Look up a rescue centre for them. There are literally hundreds in rescues around the country

Ive had a look at the rescue centres but there are none shown on their websites only the odd adult dog.

Have you looked at them all? EGAR (specialising in staffies, pitbulls, etc.) in Galway? Pauline's Rescue in Cork? Have a ring and ask EGAR is a member here too

OP you would be very lucky find a pup from a good breeder ready to go now. As they usually have waiting lists. Your best bet if you want one asap is to check in the shelters or else contact a good breeder who can put you on a list.

How young does the pup have to be?

EDIT: when buying please be careful not to support byb's - waiting for the right pup from the right breeder really is an investment into the life of your dog.

I dont realy want to travel too far, but might if I can adopt a rescue pup instead of buying.

Fair point, we want the pup to be a young as possible. Ive had Staffs before but never had a puppy.

What a fab puppy! I had a little heart flutter when I saw him! Staffs are such super dogs I currently have one in foster with me and he is just a ticket!! Just so oblivious to everything and happy just being happy! Typical staff loves to chew, gassy bum, thinks he fits snugly on your lap. . .couch. . .bed. . .pillow!! If it turns out that you and this puppy are a perfect match for each other than no doubt you will have many happy smily staffy days together!!

Just had to post a pic of him!! Hes the cartoon doggie on the left!!

Wasnt that dog adopted from (DID) and now is not?

cjf

As many people involved in rescue and adoption know sometimes despite every best effort it's just not the right match. Through no fault of the dog or home. Just like people some dogs can be great pals with each other but can't live with each other! It was dissapointing for everyone involved but and amnt I the lucky one who gets to see that face everyday for another little while!! My own two dogs were delighted to see him again! I do believe there is the perfect home for every dog and as I posted earlier in the thread it's all about finding that perfect match and this guys forever family are out there it's only a matter of time before they find him! Posted my pic to share his wonderful face with people who would enjoy a super smiley doggie!

Glad to see things worked out. I also adopted from Egar a few years ago and at the moment there are some adorable little faces with them. So people rescue rescue rescue!

Wow, thats a winning smile right there!.

Like everyone who ever had experiences with Staffy's I love 'em to bits too.

I don't think there's a friendlier dog in the world.

Used to think my own girl (the stunning little angel on the right!.... Biased ...me!!) had good bit of staffy in her till this guy rocked up and I put them side by side!! Still see something different in her everyday she a couture doggie.. One of a kind!!

If all works out with pup please post progress pics defo need another little fix of him he is beautiful!!!

I'd love to be getting another Staffy puppy, or two (or three!).

I adore the breed.
