Yeah, though I walk her whenever I can, even if I am tired as f*ck. Before we moved here, in initial two months of my time in this town, she had a puppy owned by neighbour in same garen and they spent whole days together. Since then, she is very needy of friendship...

As another bit of advice, seeing that she's some sort of fighting/attack dog, is to keep her on a leash and not let her get near children. When you see that people are afraid of her (whether you think its rightly or wrongly), always hold her back. Best put on a muzzle when you're walking her in public. She may be a nice dog, but other people will not know that, react afraid, kick or beat her to keep her away, and then her instinct will take over. Happens to he best of dogs.
That happens minute after she lays down... but alright, I won't be as worried as I was.
About the walking thing in public, she walks by me with no leash or muzzle. I do have leash with me and I use it when there is too much cars. Simply because, she never attacks. People sometimes get afraid bit I convince them very fast in opposite. I've been in situation where a small star dog, that had little pupps, was biting her on neck, while Dora simply waved her tail and sniffed the pupps. She likes other dogs, to play and especially babies. That goes for humans too, she simply loves being petted and given food.
And not to mention little children. Oh boy what a happines that is, on both sides.
All I know is that when I saw her she was in cage, in scars, in piss and sh*t and I had to take her away. In two months, I brought her in perfection. As I said, she walks by me and nothing can take her away from me. They say Staffords love their owners first, then themselves.
I suspect she was used for puppies exploatation and fighting. People usually think she is male, due to her stance and by the way she walks. I noticed how she did not know how to play with me either, so that is why I guessed she did not have as pleasant and joyfull life. Now she does, and she is very thankfull.
Don't worry.

I agree. It could be pretty normal. However I would check her for fleas or mites.
Will do.
