Are Phyco lines now regarded as old lines ? The first time that I came across the term Irish Staff regarding a type of dog it meant a very small pit type suitable for introducing into working a terrier line without producing animals too big for underground work. The Irish dogs themselves being of terrier size and not because they had short legs. There used to be one advertised at stud mid 1980's in Shooting times that was 11" at the shoulder. They weren't from Ireland and the term Irish just seemed to come into use to describe an animal that was a different type from K.C. registered Staffords or imported American dogs. These tiny bulldogs may of entered into the bloodlines of the Patterdale terriers that the Americans embraced with open arms and open cheque books ? No idea if they still exist.

 

I know that Irish Stafford now refers to a type different of dog. Was Pycho not a K.C. Staff/English cross ? . My knowledge of the " modern " type is only from what I have read I admit, which means no knowledge at all. " Staffordshire Bull Terriers, English and Irish " by Shaun Barker is interesting and has photographs of some very healthy looking dogs. Massive though compared to the ones that used to be called Irish Staffs.
