I have no problem with previous owner (who is lovely with a small daughter) coming to see my new staffie. First time I met Honey was very cowed by my 2 and didnt appreciate their bounciness. Second time much better and she also came to my house. When I collected her for her stay she was all wagging tails and has settled in really well. Its only been a couple of weeks so would it unsettle her if her old owner came to see her or should I ask her to leave it a bit longer?

So I now officially have 3 staffies!
 
If it was me I would put them off as its sure to unsettle her and whilst I can understand them wanting to come and see her she has to come first.

Well done for the latest adoption you are now a official one woman rescue band:).
 
I would leave it for quite a bit longer yet. Lets face it dogs don't forget their owners when they go on holiday for 2 weeks. At this stage I think she would be very torn and would possibly want to leave with her new owners which would be upsetting for all concerned. She won't forget them for a long time but you want her to be pleased to see them but want to stay with you.
