You are quiet correct, a dog is not just for christmas its for easter too, or is that rabbits for easter?
The correct breed of the dog in the picture is a staffordshire bull terrier she is 8 months old and her color is red. We rescued her from a bad home! In the 6 day's we've had her she has become very friendly and has a very good appetite and she has settled in very well we are going to let her have 1 litter of pups and then have her done so she will not have anymore pups, and hopefully she will have a very long and happy Fullfilled life with us.

You are aware that a staffie is the same as an APBT right? You should if you plan to breed the dog. Have you done health testing on her, is her temperment excellent (being from an abusive home is why I ask), why do you think she should have a litter of pups? Hope she does have a wonderful, fullfilling life with you!
Her health is excellent our vet told us she has a very good temperment and are choice of dog to breed with her will be very carefully chosen and we will let her have one litter of pups so she can be full-filled as a female dog and hopefully her maternal instincs will make her a more placid dog, we will sell the pups to good homes and donate the money to a local animal shelter to give other abused dogs a good start in life like Lucy (My dog) PS; her abuse was mental torture not physical so she is not aggressive!
I see you live in England...better for the puppies, here most of them would be bought by drug dealers and wannabe dog fighters. Still, make sure you write up a good contract for people to sign when they purchase your pups. I had to take one pup back from someone because I felt they were running him to much at a young age. The pups were a stupid idea on my part but I certainly learned my lesson. I was a hound about who the pups went to and keeping up on how they were/are doing. One of the pups that went to my BF was recently diagnosised with Lymphoma, I feel so bad knowing that it was genetically my fault most likely. So many dogs already out there in need of good homes and I just add to the problem. I will never make that mistake again. I also don't think Neva, my female, enjoyed having pups, it didn't "fulfill" her so to speak...she just wanted to get away from them once they hit three weeks of age. It also didn't change her temperment at all so don't count on it changing Lucy's temperment. Please research everything about the breed and about breeding. You do know that you need to wait until she is two right? There are a few people on here that have bred in the past, ask tons of questions so you get everything right!
If you want her to live a long and healhy life with you, don't breed her. DId you know many females can get very sick, have serious complications, and even die from pregnancy? Is that REALLY what you want for your Lucy? Also just because she's healthy doesn't mean she's a good candidate to be bred. Breeding should only be done to IMPROVE a breed therefore a responsible or ethical breeder will only breed a dog that has passed health check for genetic diseases, and most importantly is titled in some way. Whether it be conformation, Schutzhund, field and hunt tests, etc gaining a title proves that the dog is a good representation of the breed because either they are able to preform the task the breed was intended to, or they fit the breed standard conformationally. Please give more thought before you decide to breed. One more problem you're goinmg to come across is that no one with a worthy stud will allow their dog to breed with yours simply because she has not proven herself to be worth their dog's semen.
Adrienne, a Staffie is NOT the same as an American Pit Bull Terrier. A Staffie is an American Staffordshire Terrier or a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, they're three very different breeds although all are classifyed in the group called "Pit Bulls" along with a few other breeds.
