WreckitWhippet Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Is he a Staffordshire Bull Terrier that you intend on showing or just a pet? Some lines carry slightly longer coats or is not from a registered breeder he could be a cross of some sort , hence the longer coat. The coat should be short, there is not much you can do about it. If perparing for the show ring you can handstrip away some of the longer coat from the neck, withers and shoulders. If he's a pet , I wouldn't be worried about it at all.

c.a.r Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 thanks for that , i did get him from a registered breeder,and had my first show today,didnt do overly well but was very proud of my boy anyway. I was just hoping as he is only a puppy he might grow into it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WreckitWhippet Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 There is an English import that produces fluffy longer coats. It can be a problem. Having said that, it's a fault in the coat, an issue with the mouth, topline, angulation etc would be more of a problem. Using a good shampoo, bathing a few days before a show, allowing the coat to settle, don't blow dry and there are a few other tips. Talk to the breeder and seek their advice. You can also P.M me, if I can help you out at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
