crossguns kennells.

Hi Mikej, I have a KC Type Staffy same as your Staffy. Although people say that the more working Staff ie: The Irish Stafford or as they call them now the "Athlectic Stafford" are more suited to weight pull, agility, trials I tend to disagree. Although the KC Line were breed for show they are still well up for weightpull and agility. I have only just become involved with the Irish Pitbull Association as have many other Stafford owners, all seem to be KC type and all of them are well up for it. My advice get your dog involved as soon as you can, I am sorry I didn't start sooner as she loves it and have a bit of fun...All the best.

 

hi hutchy.
i hope it all goes well with weight pulling and agility for you.
what age is your dog.
mine is only 5 months yet, so plenty of time yet to start training.
i got in touch with a club not to far from me.
i spoke to the person that helps run it about my pup.
he told me that all his dogs are kc reged, and they have no problems compeating.
he has 1 staffy that is very good indeed.
time will tell.
good luck with your dog and the weight pulling and agility.
atb,mike.

 

Not saying i'm. But think your info isn't that reliable anymore..

Hi Nogz
I hope there a good staffords out there still,but for myself it 25 years ago now,i enjoy the pics and some of the old stories,admitted they seem to have chnged from fact to fiction over the years
regards

 

to me too but the dog i got (wich is heavy crossguns) and to me has no air is teaching me that i might be wrong, good prey drive, good will to work (sports) and not so bad in athletic feats, my boy yesterday just did 30 min tug + 15 min walk and went back to get my bike and did + 40min biking and 90% of that time was runing at the side of the bike with a few small "slow pace" and fast recuperation and he could do more, not bad for a useless dog, im shure he can handle 2h work.

and he acts like he already knows how to (weight) pull, giving the big hit at the start (to make the cart move)
