Looking for a new Friend

[Scott Fitzgerald]

Hi, I have previously had a pure staff then a pure Blue Heller. Looking for a purebred full blue staff. Will be spoilt and will live indoors. I live opposite Altona dog beach so will get plenty of exercise.

Do you have a question?

If not go to the Breeds section in the main menu, and I'd be wanting to know whether colour dilution alopecia is a problem with blue staffies. Also the more trendy the breed or colour, the more difficult it may be to find an experienced knowledgeable breeder and not just someone who thinks they might make some money.

There's no money to be made in dog breeding if you are doing it properly and ethically.

I would keep right away from blue because it is so popular. So many kennel names have blue or blu as part of the name which tells you straight away where their emphasis lies. Also be aware that white faces and ears could carry a risk of deafness.

There are also some tests which need to be done on the parents before breeding.

Reading the Breeders and Puppies for Sale ads was educational.
