Meet Maya, 6 months old and 13kg (around 28lbs) of pure muscle.
Her mum is a Staffy and her dad is a Border Collie. She’s inherited all their best bits: she’s athletic, really well-behaved (very obedient actually), calm, patient, and doesn't chew things up except her toys. She’s so loving too.
It cracks me up seeing her even more excited than me when she nails a new trick. We’ve started doing some basic Heelwork to Music at home; yesterday she learned 'spin' and got so hyped about it, she bolted over to my partner to show him how well she could spin around.
Anyway, I’m not trying to sell her to you! 😁
The more she grows, the more she seems like the perfect halfway point between the two breeds. Do you think she looks more like a Staffy or a Border?
I think she’s quite small in height—she’s roughly the same size (maybe a few cm taller) as a Beagle or a Staffy.
Do you reckon she’ll keep getting taller? She’s got a very slim waist like a Border, but she’s muscular like a Staffy.
My vet has her down as a Border cross; she didn't think she looked 'typey' enough to need categorising (though she's still young, so we’ll see what the vet thinks when she’s fully grown. No hate about her breed mix, please!)
