| LOOKING FOR A PUPPY? I place my puppies through my waiting list. I prefer homes who choose a "breeder" and then reserve a baby from an upcoming litter ... rather than people who just shop around for a pup thinking all staffords are the same. If you want info about the waiting list, email me. If you want info about my breeding program, read this whole page. Thanks! | |
MY SBT EAT A HOLISTIC DIET; I RECOMMEND A HOLISTIC OR BARF DIET - THE HEALTH BENEFITS ARE WORTH IT. ALL SBT OWNERS ARE CAUTIONED TO RESEARCH THE DANGERS OF COMMERCIAL DOG FOODS AND TRADITIONAL VACCINATION PROTOCOLS. RABIES VACCINATIONS, HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO
PRECEDE DEMODEX MANGE AND WORSE CONDITIONS. MANY SCIENTISTS AND STUDIES PROCLAIM
THAT |
UPDATE:
11/25/09 it looks like Chloe is not expecting. I'll leave this info up just in case until
we know for sure. Due date DECEMBER 12TH, 2009 Email staffybull@prodigy.net to apply for the waiting
list.
Angel Rock Battle of Jericho (Dash) and Chloe will hopefully be having babies early this winter. Dash stands just under 15 inches tall; Chloe is right at 15. Their puppies will be born in Montana and they will all be red. They are guaranteed to have stable temperaments, they are not for breeding purposes, they will go to indoor homes only, they're guaranteed not to be affected with L2-hga and they'll be ready for new homes in early February. Dash and Chloe are family members who have proven to be above average and worthy of reproducing. Both dogs live in the same home as beloved children's pets and family members. Here are some comments from their family: "Chloe is a loyal, loving and obedient friend. She loves to play with the kids and often shares her bed with the little ones. She is always ready for anything. In an almost contradictory way, Chloe's high energy is well balanced by her easy going demeanor, she is fully trusting of her owners and the kids. She has endured many uncomfortable gestures of love by the little ones but never seems to mind at all. Her favorite place to be is at our sides or with her head on our laps. Chloe is always respectfully affectionate and never needs to be told twice. Chloe's complete dedication and faith in her family is plain for all to see and she is is even wonderfully behaved at the veterinarian's office, regardless of the reason for the visit. She is a fast friend to most, and a steady dog who is quick to warn if something is not right. She was tirelessly vigilant of me while I was in labor with our youngest child and very gentle and reverent about our new family member when we brought him home. Dash is our sweet under-cover secret agent. He is a really relaxed, easy going guy, and is a great to walk on the leash companion. He doesn't try to pull your arm out of the socket and visibly enjoys taking it all in as he moseys along. Dash has a face that always makes you wonder what he is thinking about, it would seem that he understands every bit of the English language. He is currently famous for opening Chloe's crate from the outside to let her out and figuring out how to open the back door in order to come back inside, The kids first told me of the amazing event and I had a hard time believing it until my husband came home, walked up on the the back porch to see Dash with his two front paws, one on each side of the knob, turning it to the side and then pushing the door open. This door is a metal door with a tight handle, I still can hardly believe it. After the fourth time observing the trick, when making sure the door was shut all the way, I am finally starting to accept it as a normal occurrence. We are all waiting to see if he will make us French Toast for breakfast one Sunday morning! Chloe and Dash both never leave the yard, all the gates could be open and they would not even consider leaving unless given permission, unless of course they see one of us walk to the truck with a leash, then they are right there! They love their big comfy bed or in the winter they will share the space in front of the furnace vent:) Chloe and Dash love attention, they tirelessly play tug of war with each other and wrestle outside. Fetch is a big favorite, Chloe always tries to run before you throw the ball and is a little rocket. Dash watches her fly by and then is right there to steal it from her if she doesn't get it on the first bounce. Their very favorite place to be is with us. We do not have a single friend or family member who is not won over by our friends Chloe and Dash. " LOOKING FOR A STAFFYBULL PUPPY? READ THIS INFORMATION PLEASE!!! When dogs are kenneled outside, behavior problems can be overlooked (but are inherited by the puppies!) therefore my Staffords all live in homes with families, usually as the only dog of their gender.Letting them be family members enables me to know them well before deciding if they should be bred. How smart are they? Are they a pleasure to live with? Are they fast and willing learners? I usually have just one (or less) litter per year. Each time I have a litter, the babies are raised strictly indoors with lots of attention. They eat a holistic diet, are wormed every week (after week 2) and receive only minimal vaccinations (never combo-vaccs). But maintaining long-lasting health and proper temperament is first and foremost in my breeding program. Therefore, long before a litter is conceived, I'm busy researching to make a great match and letting dogs prove themselves in temperament (and health and abilities etc) before choosing who will reproduce. (for example - HALF of the dogs I aquired (hoping to add something to my breeding program) were NEVER BRED. After they grew up, I decided they didn't have enough intelligence or the ideal temperament. Even though I'd invested a lot of money and time into them, they weren't good enough to put into the "Angel Rock" line.) It's a very time consuming process, but worth it to know I've done my utmost to engineer above-average StaffyBulls.Read the Breed Standard and make note of the paragraph about temperament - - any SBT considered breeding quality MUST HAVE high intelligence, affection for children, off-duty quietness and a bold, tenacious, steady/stable/reliable nature.... Do not buy a pup from parents who are not proper breeding quality!!!!! Ask a lot of questions! Meet the parents! |
| NOTE: Staffordshire Bull Terriers are too full of love to be happy as
"backyard dogs". They must be included in family activities, because
they'll see YOU as their "pack". They'll want to please you, so they need
training to help them understand what you want from them. Please consider whether or not
you're ready for a lifetime commitment before you get a puppy. If you're not sure, please
take the PUP-TIME QUIZ below.
