For puppy buyers - please do your research.
There are many breeders with pups and unfortunately even more greeders.
As registered breeders all pups must be pedigree papered. All adult dogs should be fully DNA tested so you are guaranteed no nasty little health issues will pop up!
Don’t pay more for colour or s*x. Don’t be ripped off either! An ethical breeder breeds to better the breed and not just produce pups. Parents should meet breed standard (attached photo).
Does your breeder understand their breed or do they call it an English Staffy? There is no such breed as an English staffy, it’s a generalization for a dog of non descriptive breeding that looks a certain way.
Research the health risks linked to specific colours and the issues that also come from blue to blue breeding. This particular practice this has been linked to many skin and health problems that leave the new family with costly ongoing vet bills.
Research your breeder. Speak with previous puppy buyers - not just people in the last few months but people from years ago.
Does you pup have champions in its bloodlines and where? If it’s not the parents then it’s the same as every other dog out there.
What makes the breeding dog stand out why should it share it’s genetics? Does it do agility? Obedience? Lure racing? Flyball? Show?
Consider what you are spending your hard earned money on and please get value for your money. Are you able to view the parents or at least one? What are the parents temperaments not just to people but other dogs, cats etc
There are some amazing breeders in here and even a breed judge who are a wealth of information.
