game staffs?

The only Game Staff's I know of are the original Staffs which I posted one above they were all bred for the box originally and genetically bred from the same cloth what separates them today is purpose obviously the Amstaff has been bred for the show ring for many years now however the ADBA and UKC will still allow these dog's to be registered as APBT's the only registry that officially acknowledges the Amstaff as it's own breed is the AKC. The American Stafford Shire Terriers today as far as I know all look like the dog below and are bred for the show rings (looks) and not gameness.

 

Ch Stormer and Ch Psycho?

 

theres been a few.infact some of the history on the good ones are on here somewhere. incase no-one has seen this link here you go- http://sportingbullandterrier.webs.com/workingstaffs.htm

 

sadieblues,the fact they do look similar to the apbt is one of the reasons they are banned in the uk.add on the words "american","bull","terrier" and a dog is surely banned.even though the recognised breed has long been away from the illegal sports.

 

by the way,that link i put up is an open site,easily found using google.its a historical site.hopefully no-one loses thier rag about it being posted.

 

Good Site Double Tap!

 

its a shame when people/fanciers of bull breeds dont understand the difference between the true stafford and the american kind.
that link is all history.

 

my patt is descendant of one of those

im sure u have seen this thread before, just incase

 

my dog's grand father.. thats a patterdale, with game staff way back maybe knowledgeable guys can say how far back..

 

I´m pretty sure that there are some amstaffs being bred in the box. And the reason I say this is because I know for a fact that many were tested in the 90´s in Brazil. At least 1 dog on my amstaff 4 generation ped died in the box as well. He was a 3xw and went into shock on his last match. I know of another one that got shot in the head by the owner of the dog he was killing. And there are many other examples....
I´m looking into getting a grand daughter of this amstaff next year: http://www.highbloodbulldogs.bravehost.com/brastaroth.html (the site has been left behind, but the dogs are legit).
And just to be clear... I don´t fight dogs.

 

I'm sure you could use a lab in the box as easily as you could use an AmStaff.

 

Stormer and Psycho were Staffordshire Bull's not Amstaff's, BIG difference!

 

I truly like the old strain!! Are there anymore still around, I wouldn't mind having a couple?!

 

Is this thread about amstaff or staffordshire bull terrier cause both are being mentioned

 

I was under the impression that we are talking AmStaffs.

 

staffs are staffordshire bull terriers,not am/staffs.

 

americans are self centred lol
