[B] Best Irish/Uk Staffs About Today?[/B]

Who's got the best stock over these sides ?

 

for me keetch kennels in UK are my favourites. steve has produced some lovely blues and reds
in ireland joe devlin is breeding lovely dogs to standard if thats your thing

 

Lol^^ Whatever you say

 

dude asked for opinions. i gave him mine based on what i like in a dog. its probably different to what you like in a dog judging on your reaction

 

the ones with the best ain't going to tell you about them.

 

It all depends on what you mean by the best?

 

Well For starters a dog that can go more than 3 ft without having a heart attack and one that can breathe!.. Athletic well balenced hard working dog..

What's everyone's problem with blues as pets?

 

our irish are better than keetches i will show the differance

 

i doubt you folks have seen a 30 min dog.....

If you can find a SBT that can hang in for that and still go looking for more then keep it. Trail and error is all to go by and save your cash.....lol

No registered SBT is in calibre

YIS

 

Why are they?

( in reply to browny )

 

better lines and better built dogs

 

and folks thats why the stafford is in such a bad shape...... the wrong people own the majority of them!

 

i hope you are not saying that i am the wrong type of person to owm one of these dogs and i do all the right type of work with him

 

keep reading the books and mags

 

Some of the best I've seen for English SBT would be Crossguns.
But I'm looking more into Irish Staffords now because of the crazy breeding with the KC, and all breeders seem to be popping out shirt nosed show dogs not powerful working dogs that I'm after. i have yet to find a really good Irish breeder though. Looking into Keetches, however.

 

Steve ( keetches ) did have some good dogs over the years but i dont think he has the same caliber as the he once had , but still head turners , if your looking for the more athletic dog then id advise going to one of ed reids shows & see whats out their regarding the more athletic dog

 

yea steve's dogs are the middle ground between full on athletic and show standard. his bitch chyna is a stunner!

 

All my stock is KC reg and i dont think one of mine would fit in a kc show. I think there are still 2 or 3 good athletic kc breeders in the uk. so to use the term "ALL BREEDERS" is a bit far from the truth. This is however just my opinion so dont jump on me !!!

 

I like a lot of steves stuff and chyna is a stunner.

 

shakka you are correct. i know of more than a few breeders of kc staffords who breed for fitness health and temperament...
