DISTAFF STAFFORDS INFORMATION
 please review carefully

We have had Staffordshire Bull Terriers since 1984. We carefully breed our dogs to meet the Breed Standard and respect the breed’s heritage. Our emphasis in on health, temperament and type to ensure that our dogs are stable and sound family members. Many of our dogs are CKC Champions in Conformation; others have performance titles in sports and games. We have five Staffords at home, they are our pets; we and our friends are with them constantly. They are crate trained, but never crated for long periods of time.

Our dogs have genetic panel testing for Hereditary Cataracts, L2-HGA and degenerative myelopathy. They are PennHip tested to evaluate hip health. All puppies are CKC registered and microchipped. Puppies can go to their new homes after their first set of vaccinations at 8 weeks. The current placement fee is $3000.00

​

•  If you are interested in our dogs, we invite you to visit our home in Sidney, BC

       to meet us and our dogs.

• We do not place a puppy with first-time Stafford owners we have not met in person. 

• We do not sell dogs on-line.

​

 We place our puppies according to temperament and personality. All puppies are placed in homes we feel best match their temperaments and needs of the new owner. Our goal is to ensure the best fit for you, your family and lifestyle. If there is a puppy with potential show quality, we will place it with an individual interested in CKC Conformation showing. Please let us know if this interests you.

​

There will likely be a six month to one year wait for a planned litter. We request that all puppies are allowed to mature fully before being altered. This means a minimum of 3 heat cycles for females and the age of 2 years for males. This significantly contributes to the health, soundness and longevity of your dog.

If for some reason you cannot keep your dog, we expect you to contact us immediately. If there are significant health issues with your dog, please let us know. We want our dogs to be healthy and happy.  

We will forward a detailed questionnaire upon request. We appreciate your interest in our breed.
