Do you have one for Diesel? I'm just wondering if the staffords would kill them in 5 seconds

Are you telling me it could have been simpler and I could have been saved from writing a letter? Damn!

I think I just wrote a letter to say that I was changing the pup to limited and why and sent that off with the signed Limit register form.

People who don't know better call Staffordshire Bull Terriers "english staffies"

You guys just pick whatever time suits the majority and hopefully I can make it to the next one :D starting at 12 just means not being able to stick around for a decent time no matter what time we end up with.

I suspect this will be fun to watch

Thanks, she is a real character :p Lets face it, I bred a Stitch, a Stafford Stitch but a Stitch all the same.

I was in the same situation with my first litter. I refunded the deposit and told them they would not be getting the puppy.

I would contact CCrates as per the link above. I have a stafford bitch that can break out of any crate she pleases if the mood takes her, I rang Michael at CCrates and he specially reinforced one of their crates for me around the door (where she always breaks through), she has not gotten out of that crate once. Eta I did not get the aluminium crate as per the link as being in Qld it would be far to hot, I have two of the All Purpose wire ones.

There is nothing quite like taking a look at a breeders website or puppy listing and seeing the word "extreme" used as a measure of virtue :D

Exactly. We had a pup here who's forever home took a little while to come along. I took him and another pup we had here at the time out and about as much as I could. I made sure that he experienced as much in the outside world as I could possibly expose him to. When that right home came along he was 4 months old and his new owners were thrilled to bits with how well he adapted to their home and life and how confident he was with the changes he experienced.

Can't make it this time ;)

I haven't ever imported but going on a gut feeling, I would not be at all prepared or happy to have a bitch whelp whilst not under my care or the care of a close breeder friend.

ohhh you are so committed and you tell me I should send Bretty for a holiday It's the weather I tell you, it makes me un-motivated.
