[skipper]

Just wanted to share something as rare as a Staffordshire bullterrier in ok shape 2012. There aren't many left, that's for sure. This bitch is 3 years old and down from Psycho lines. Please feel free to share pictures of Staffords of today, you guys that still feeds em.













Remember guys. This is what the kennel club has turned them into.

That's a terrific looking Stafford you've got there Skipper. I'v never fed a Staff, although i'v always had an interest in them.

Great to see a stafford in shape & also on the same yard as bulldogs. Says a lot to myself on the quality of them staffords !!
She does remind me of a certain female that i was enquiring on (health & age) only the other day.
No doubt these are related in some way. Maybe going a wee bit off subject (apologies) as all are not alive,but they may be of interest. The proven ones anyway !!

dam of the dog below & the backbone of the few breeding programmes going on today.


Sire & daughter,both long gone.

littermate to daughter above & seeing his days out as he so deserves.

1st female figures pretty much in this females breeding.

If i remember rightly this dog was the 1st working stafford i owned. He was born on the 1st day of 1982. Lacked pretty much everything,but the enjoyment of what most staffords do. He was pure show breeding like the dog Skipper posted above,but far from as exaggerated. On top,he was very similar bred to working stuff in Ireland.

Thank you for the kind words Gabba. You're right they are of quality for sure. Always compared to the bulldogs, so the standard is pretty high. Please feel free to post pics of staffords that are gone to. The meaning of this topic was for us who still feeds and breeds these lovely breed to enlighten those with lesser knowledge, by showing some nice photos of working dogs. It's pretty common around bulldoggers to see the staffords as a show breed. And for the most part they are right. But there are still some fanciers hanging on to the last straws of the working strains. I hope this will give some of you an "aha- moment". I love the pictures you put up, there is no doubt that these are closley related. I think I could be pretty close on how they are bred just by the looks of them.

Forgot to add that the 1st 2x pix,were nothing at all to do with me.
