This is a snippet of when health testing can be complete.

Hips and Elbows evaluated by the OFA automatically post public results for anything considered normal (normal elbows/fair hips/good hips/excellent hips).

For Staffords, OFA has the following as required for CHIC. Evaluations performed by OFA automatically get posted to the public domain (normal) unless the owner agrees to have abnormal results public as well. People do not have to send in results to OFA that were performed outside of OFA ie: CAER eyes, BUT they will still have proof of results from the ophthalmologist. Always have the confidence to ask for proof of health testing that one claims they perform:

Hip Dysplasia - One of the following:
OFA Radiographic Hip Evaluation
PennHIP Evaluation. Results registered with OFA.

Elbow Dysplasia - OFA Radiographic Elbow Evaluation

ACVO Eye Exam (CAER) - Eye Examination once 12 months old by an ophthalmologist

L2HGA DNA Test - DNA based L2HGA test from an approved laboratory

Hereditary Cataracts DNA Test - DNA based cataract test from an approved lab

While a Cardiac Evaluation by a cardiologist is considered optional, I personally think it is an important piece of information for a stafford.

Did you know? Dogs must be 24 months or older for OFA Hip and Elbow certification, and 12 months or older for Cardiac, Patellas, and Thyroid certification. There is no age minimum for eye certification, nor for DNA, since DNA does not change as the dog ages.

The OFA also does Preliminary evaluations on hips and elbows before 24 months of age. However, they will need to be re-evaluated again for a final certification once the dog reaches 24 months.

Cute informative video created by the SBTCA on coat color in staffords. Keep in mind, B&T and liver are DQ's in AKC.

Love this collar from WAG Collars

When a person that you have educated, supported, encouraged, celebrated and respected for nearly a decade makes a decision that defies all rational thought and negates the definition of a responsible breeder, the level of disappointment is immeasurable.

Brother and sister on both sides of the country. Nola in Atlantic Canada with owner/handler Adina Black and Sirius out west with me. At just under 2 years old they are maturing beautifully. Judges have commented on the strong heads, beautiful fronts, lovely toplines, balance and effortless movement. While slow to mature, excellence is worth waiting for.

Brother ✨and sister 💫. Love both of these beautiful young staffords. Nola, with owner Adina Black on the East Coast and Sirius here in western Canada with me.

Future is bright with these young stars.

With 2022 in the rearview mirror, I can't begin to express how excited I am for the future of young Nola for 2023! While Bauer plays in smart dog and I'm healing up, Adina and Nola are ready to take on the rings!!

2022 finished with BOTH Canada's #1 SBT (all systems) and #1 SBT Puppy were Owner Handled to their respective achievements.

Bauer was 2022 #7 Terrier in Canada as well....always an honor to be in the top 10 terriers of the country!! Always an incredible accomplishment as a Breeder/Owner/Handler. Thank you again to all of the judges who recognized Bauer's qualities in incredible terrier lineups and to the fellow breeders and exhibitors who were always so supportive. 🥰

Hopefully I will be back in the ring soon with a Ghostpine youngster to learn the ropes. 😉

A face that is hard to resist 🥰

Pictured is a representation of the result of Dwight's owner's consistency and diligence. From the time he went to live with Jaime he was given boundaries, rules and consistency. At just over 1 year old he understands the expectations and happily co-exists with many 'friends' who are also given boundaries, rules and consistency. For clarity, no, these dogs do not all live together but their owners share the same or similar expectations of their dogs' behavior AND setting their dogs up for success.

A gentle reminder that sometimes setting your stafford up for success isn't always training on your end but also the company you choose to keep for your stafford. :)

Heading off to AKC (Alberta Kennel Club) for a HOT and busy weekend at the beautiful Spruce Meadows. Canada's largest outdoor show! Pictured here with the stunning Manchester Terrier, and our good buddy, Steve who will be attending his National Specialty this weekend. Can't wait to cheer him on (yes Bauer is absolutely one of Steve's cheerleaders lol)! I will have some downtime in the next couple weeks to get caught up on emails and messages.

Excellent!!

We are thrilled to announce that Alma, New Brunswick has repealed BSL. Another marker has disappeared from our Canadian map of BSL.

Known as the "pulse of Fundy Bay”, as per the Village website. But if you lived here prior to the repeal in September 2021and had a “pit bull”, “bull terrier”, or a cross breed of either it was illegal for that dog to have a pulse.

“ (8) No person shall own or harbour any dog commonly known as a pit bull or bull terrier, a cross-breed or partial breed of a pit bull or bull terrier.”

Thank you for joining 100's of other municipalities and embracing breed neutral policies.
