Yea she was a kennel club Stafford raparee the gladiator raparee rotherskye vow and Cadbury flash we've always had Staffords off her pups that were never registered bred to a brindle Stafford in northern Ireland with a man called paddy who had a good dog or two she was an excellent badger dog an killed our white staff male champ in the backyard while we were out the house the white staff male had got loose and headed straight for the bitch I'm guessing but didn't go his way we found him dead beside her she was in bad enough shape herself but recovered and was back out on digs again untill her retirement and dying of old age in our house pics of all these dogs if I can figure out how to upload and for people to view them full size thanks..Brown bull of Cooley

 

A lot of those Rapperee,sparpit,betchgreen dogs still around the north west of england.old boy i knew going back around 25 years ago gave me a sort of guided tour of the area.that is the area where men like Bill hodgkinson,jim bolton,alan sparks,tom dix etc lived.one of these was the said old boy,we called around mens homes pubs and all sorts looking at different dogs,bred down from these lines.Nothing mystical about those dogs,Dusty is right they were just kc animals,but were just the ones behind some of the more sporting staffords.
