Dempsey

This is my new boy...............Dempsey aka Frachadem Thrilla in Manila!

what a babe x

Dempsey is a good loook lad

Thanks! We love him!

Im in love! Im a complete sucker for bullies! Kaos was supposed to be a bully but circumstances ment that we took on another staffie.....i just dont think my house is big enough for another dog
I would love to see loads of pics!

Bullies are WAY more difficult to keep than Staffords! I know people will disagree with that, but that's what I've found & I had Staffords for 20 years, nearly!

Dempsey is extremely dominant so although he's friendly enough, other dogs have only got to stare at him & he gets very uppity! They're BIG as well - Dempsey is nearly 26 kilos & hasn't finished growing yet. Oh, and compared to Staffords they're really REALLY thick!!!!

i always had an soft spot for bull terrier good looking dogs how tall do they get?

aww a really gd looking lad id love one of these too but i struggle walking staffies lol never mind one of them there huge

I just replied to this, but it didn't come up! Anyway................

Dempsey's around 26" at the shoulder & weighs about 26 kilos. He's also immensley strong. I used to think you'd never better a stafford in the strength/size ratio, but I recon a bully comes real close.

Dempsey's what I'd call a middleweight, but you can get terrier types & bully types just as you do in staffords. Here are a couple of pics of his dad, who's more of a 'bully' type................

Unfortunately, he IS! I mean, he'll head butt a door to get in the room & will keep head-butting it if it's closed! Even now, at 16 months old he hasn't worked out that our back gate opens INWARDS - he always wants to, you guessed it, HEAD BUTT IT!

what a cracker lovely dog

That had me in stitches!!

lol know what you mean with head butting bit.
Blue does simular stuff.....he keeps going into the youngest daughters bedroom....turns round and shuts the door then 1 min later wines and head butts it cos he can't get out.......im like well stop bloody shutting it.....has he learn't after doing it 30 times now....no lol.

i heard a story about a bully doing that kind of thing could not regester that the patio door was actully solid and he would just keep headbutting untill he aventully cracked the glass there heads are just like a battering ram awsome
which i dont think there thick just so determand

Believe me, their heads are like solid iron! Dempsey's given me several fat lips & 3 black eyes just cause I was silly enough to bend down to stroke him & he head butted me!

I think he does it as a sign of affection!

Dempsey i love his stand hes a right show off

Ha!!! Wish he'd stand like that in the sgow ring!

lmao do you show him all the time or just now and then?

Shown him 5 times since last November, so not exactly regular! He's done pretty well (been placed each time including a first) but he's not champion material & we'll probably stop when he gets to about 2 years old & we can see how he's going!

he look all good to me, are you planing to get anymore ?

I'm thinking of getting a bitch, but not for another 18 months or so............I've already got one lined up! A breeder I've got to know over the last few months has just bred a gorgeous bitch pup, and he'll be mating her in about 18 months or so & he'll let me have pick of any bitch pups born!

Nice one how much will she be if everything goes well ?

Ah, there's the rub! I'll have to start saving now, as the going price is about £900!!!
