J.DOG 1,355 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 If you we're to get a staffordshire bull terrier (barrel type) could that dog be made racy fit with the right exercise, food ect I ask because I like the athletic staff but they are hard to come by so could s large staff be fittened up ? If anyone wants to put Any pics up of their staffs feel free Quote Link to post
motoade 4 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Barrel type and athletic do not go together, different builds different jobs. Quote Link to post

Adam_Chuck 256 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 J.Dog ive got a kc reg staff and the dam was a wee barrell. The dad was slightly athletic but that was due to good diet and exercise. My dog is on a great diet and gets lots of exercise he can keep up with my lurchers all day on big mountain walks without ever lagging behind. No reason if you walk it and feed it right it cant be healthy and athletic. It doesnt have to be a big leggy thing either. My dog is only 16tts 3 Quote Link to post

showmespeed 36 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 You would be better off getting a gamebred APBT from the states. Staffys will not amount to same drive or ability. I am sorry to say it is the truth of it. Most people don't even realize true gamebred dogs to even be APBT, just look a terrier cross a lot of them especially if you go female better chance of hiding the breed of dog. Quote Link to post
matthews 88 77 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I agree but you don't have to go to the states for one some good lines over here if you know where to look Quote Link to post
Born Hunter 17,960 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 He wants a pet for his grandad..................... So a gamebred bull is advised! 2 Quote Link to post
