anyone working a pure stafford

[ferreting king 9]

ive got a 4 year old bitch here, has been ferreting since 6 months pinning them in nets etc

and started her on reds at a year ols as an end of dig dog and she has excelled at it, she is as game as they come and is only 16 inch tts and 21 lb fit, she has just had a season and is due in again in 6 months so im wondering weather on not to have 1 litter from her, only problem is what to put to her, i would like something that would throw smaller slightly lighter pups, to hopefully have a nice earth dog,

any sugguestions

U will struggle to get a good earth dog thats half bull. Theirs the odd one, but they tend to have less bull. Best with a patt.

21lb at 16 inch,she must be very lightly built,mines 14 tts and weighs 36lb in hard condition,have you got any pics?Dave

I had a 3/4 bred that was 16" and 24lb when in fit condition.

exactly what i was thinking, i've got a fell terrier thats pretty much 21lb and 14tts. Be intresting to see what the dog looks like.

Can anyone remember TB's dogs from up Scotland? Game-Quest was the prefix...Violet Kray etc....Not Staffs and they were bred small and were early 20's.

I remember him, mad jock covered in jail tattoos? Met him at a show once, used to run an ad in Marios mag. I just cannot understand why people keep trying with bull terriers of all kinds when they have proper terriers or running dogs to do the job a lot better.

That's him Oxo We must have crossed paths in the past mate

 

A mate of mine got a dog off him that was promising...went to someone to look after it and then disappeared

You could put a good jack russell over her-its a very good cross

[ferreting king 9]
