Online Puppy Pack
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of SA Inc. recommends that a
great deal of thought and consideration go into selecting a breed of
dog. You should ensure that the decision you make will be suitable for
your lifestyle for at least the next 10-14 years (for a Stafford)!
We are trying to encourage potential buyers to do their 'homework',
(both for the good of the owner and dog) to ensure that they end up with
a healthy, well-bred 'Stafford'. The new owner must be happy that they
have made the right decision, having asked all the relevant questions,
whether the dog will be for showing or a pet!
Just because you are buying a Pedigree doesn't mean you will end up with
a 'perfect' specimen - be it in appearance, hereditary genes or
mannerisms! The following is for your information to help guide you in
finding firsly a breeder you are satisfied with and ultimately your 'Stafford'.
Whilst the SBT Club of SA Inc. tries to educate all
members & potential buyers, the onus is on the breeder to follow SACA &
ANKC rulings regarding the sale of pups!
Please ask the breeder about our special
membership offer!!

what are known as 'backyard breeders') the animal will not be pedigree

History and Character
of the Stafford
-
The Standard
- The Standard is what dogs are judged on, and what breeders should be
striving to achieve.
-
Puppy Register
- This is a list of breeders who are Members of our Club, who
have put forward their details, as they may have puppies for sale
occasionally.
- Please do not become frustrated if no puppies are available, you can
ask if litters are due or if there are planned matings. (We should ALL
remember that Breeders should be only breeding to improve the quality
of the breed in line with the Standard and not for producing puppies
to make money!)
-
Suggestion / Questions
- We have put together a question sheet and a few suggestions to help
you make an informed decision!
