A reputable breeder will have researched the best dog to use with the bitch for correct conformation and temperament.You should always ask to see the litter with their mother and her Kennel Club registration documents and the application for registration of the litter by the breeder which the breeder will have to have to register the litter with the Kennel Club.
Buying from a petshop will mean you have no idea where the Staffie was bred and chances are it was a puppy farm, will have no papers and could be carrying all sorts of diseases.Black and Tan. The Breed Standard is primarily for dogs being shown in the ring and a Black and Tan puppy can still make a very good family pet,but be aware that this is not a rare coloration that the breeder can ask a higher price for-something I know has happened in the past. Needs firm handling.
Staffies can be very stubborn but with firm handling can be taught basic obedience and can excel in dog agility competitions. Bold, fearless and totally reliable. Inform any visitors that they are likely to be licked and greeted with great love and affection.
