Staffies have very strong personalities and will often have strong opinions about rainy days and storms.
On the whole, Staffies love the rain but are very scared of thunderstorms. Many people are shocked to see such large and imposing dogs jumping into their parents' laps as soon as they hear something scary outside.
However, it is quite common for Staffies to enjoy playing outside in the rain. They are very smart dogs and have no problem making their own entertainment. We would recommend keeping an eye on your Staffy if they play in the garden while it rains. You may find them covered in mud having built a new water feature for you.
Your Staffy may be reluctant to go out in the rain at first. But after some encouragement, they will soon be outside having the time of their lives. They have been known to try and catch raindrops out of the sky and even jump in puddles. They may even be tempted to roll around in the fresh mud.
