Hang on there's more. "Bulldogs were crossed initially with black and tan terriers to produce a smaller, lighter and more agile dog - but still a...
I also understand that the white strain was introduced from the White English Terrier, which also resulted in the "sharp, pricked up ears,...
Thanks Nicci that is interesting :D
Hayley the 'real' stafford IS much to your dislike, the closest to the KC standard. I haven't seen much of your dogs, but what I have seen from your...
It's not wrong Hayley, but in the eyes of the majority, the Stafford has room for improvement, and this includes excluding dogs with aggressive...
No-one suggested keeping the strain Hayley, not here anyway. But I just wondered what your views were as you seem so against changing the staffy. I...
Weimys don't tend to be 'skitty', a 'skitty' red setter is frowned upon because it would be useless as a gundog, (gun shots, 'skittyness', not a good...
I'm glad to hear that Hayley :D

Exactly my point Mys, they WERE used for fighting. In today society this is not acceptable, so why hold on to such traits. If they can be bred out,...
Luke we know that isn't going to happen, not unless every Staffy breeder regresses to the level of Hayley SBT. The vast majority of breeders do...
Ok you win, let staffy's be aggressive.
No because these traits don't pose a threat to the dogs, or other dog's safety.
Ok hayley I apologise, it was just an unresolved thread as far as I knew.
I am aware of that Mys, all I was meaning is that it shouldn't be encouraged. This is one of the very reasons I could never own a Mal or Husky, when...
I don't like what showing has done to a lot of breeds Hayley, the reason being, the standards have changed so much the dogs seem to have more and...
