gnipper 5,945 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yokel is he off any particular breeding or did you just get a staff and put the time into conditioning him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's one of them "fat, useless" KC dogs you hear about....saw him at 12wks of age and you could see he was going to be a well put together animal so I brought him. To be honest, I haven't really put a great deal of work into him. Just hand walking and some nice long, off the lead rambles through the woods. He's just got a good natural shape to him....

Yokel cracker him, whats his height 16-17in ? our Staffs we had back in the 60s were bit similar type , but suppose ours looked more like apbts of today, than the show type staffs, our were from 15 in - 19in 35-55 lb . the strains by w-ton and walsall were more taller and bit heavier than other strains of staffs.! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,602 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thats a nicely kept Stafford i was never really sold on the whole " Irish Stafford " thing i think theres Kc stuff out there probably just as good i looked into a few of those old Rapparee/Sparpit type lines seems theres still some decent stuff around. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The bottom side of this dog goes back to those you mention. As for them "Irish dogs" was around a few, every one came with many variations to the peds/pinch of salt so to speak....of the decent staffs I've personally seen express their "natural" talents, the better ones have been closer to the KC stock. But this fella is no more than a well mannered companion.... Yokel Edited July 28, 2021 by YOKEL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
