Staffordshire Bull Terriers
Hi
I have been breeding staffords for the last 7 / 8 yearts and would like to share my advice
I got a lot of people ringing me , emailing me for miy / our advice and people who cant find new homes for there dogs or there was problems
Most importent things you check before you breed
1. Make sure both sire & dam have both got a great temprement and health checked , I also have l2 hga test done on all my dogs and all clear
2. always check the line that you don't interbreed other wis you may cause problems with the mum and litter
3. make sure you have things ready and the time effort and self asteame to look after a litter of pups and mum as you dont know what will happen I.E Bottle feeding etc.... and money etc...
4. always make sure you have homes or have a good idea when / where you will find them new homes
My advice is that the bitch should 2+ and the male 1 1/2 ( years ) making sure they have been vet cheacked
also make sure that the bitch is not due for incoulation you need to do 10 days befopre mating and cant be done wilst pregnent / feeding and make sure wormed & flead upto date
I have been lucky with most of my litters but i hate to see people getting into a mess before not looking into breeding and dont be afraid to ask people , and if your not 100% sure / Ready please dont breed
Also HC and tested for PHPV & PPSC.
