blue staffy

my girlfriends friends female blue staffy has jus had pups a week old today> the mum and dad are both blue( no brindle) and ive already reserved one! they are kc registerd but my question is how much should i be expecting to pay? either way i dont care i jus speculating as i payed £300 for my black and white female 3 years ago>

i wouldn't buy one sorry i dont agree with blue with blue mating

pay the same as any other colour
ps what happend to your three year old you mentioned

I would only rescue myself so not a clue.

So that will make 3 in your pack now?

I'm with Steve. Blue with blue matings make me nervous because of all the problems that come out of breeding dilutes.

Why would you pay any different amount for a blue than any other colour??

I would think the quality of there pedigree would determine the price??

My oh paid £950 for hooch who is a blue - blue, kc reg mating nearly 6 years ago now, he wouldnt go back now but realises they were money grabbers.

I paid £150 for stan hes not kc thou, his mum was black and dad red thou.

Stans the one with a few skin problems.

I would not personally pay anymore for a staffy because of colour and blues dont go for as much now becaus everyones on the band wagon breeding blues.

curious, what colours produce a blue? Im not a breeder, just wondering x

Black produce the best because blue is a dilute of black

ah, i thought thats what i heard

The price will very much depend on the quality of the parents & their ancestors & the quality of the pups themselves. I wouldn't pay more than £450 unless it was a really good mating, but I wouldn't buy a pup from two blue parents either.

£750 seems to be the going rate for a kc reg blue pup that carriers champions in it's pedigree.

Expect to pay half that for an unregistered blue.

If a breeder is charging more for blues than for any other colour then they should be avoided like the plague. Colour should not be at a premium!

omg such a different responce to what i wanted lol anyways yea so i will have 3 dogs now incuding my new addition. as to blue to blue breeding i havent got a clue about that like i said its a friend, some of the puppys are more blue than the others i.e darker some have white markings, i do belive the dads dad is black nd his mum is blue im not sure i will find out more. to my next question which one to pick a lighter blue or a darker one?

I'm not saying I agree with the pricing of blue registered or not, but whsteva way you put it Blues are very popular thus whilst demand is high prices will remain high.

I'd pick a darker one in my opinion, look for black nose (as close to black as poss) and dark nails too. But, the puppy has to choose you too!

Good luck xx

A good breeder will not charge more for a blue. Only a money-grabber will charge more.

being offered a male for 350< as i only want a male as personally i prfer their personalitys althogh my bitch is lovely shes the kids dog lol

Without knowing the pedigree or quality of parents/pups it's very difficult to say whether or not that price is fair. Whilst I wouldn't buy one because of the colour issues, only you can say whether the price is what you are prepared to pay.

Have you seen the pedigree at all?

npe the women im buyig him off lives about 30 mile from me all ive seen is pics and the pups mum used to play with my dog before she moved im going up there at the weekend

Seems to be a few people suggesting you will get skin problems if both the parents are blue.both my dogs parents are blue and he has no allergies.I had a brindle staff for 12 year with no allergies and bred him with a black staff which produced 2 whites,blacks and brindles.a friend bought a White one which did have allergies so personally I just think it's the luck of the draw,a vet once told me about 9 out of 10 bull terriers he sees not just staffs have some kind of allergy.as for a dark or a light pup it's personal choice,just choose the one you like,as long as theyre healthy.

Nobody is saying that a blue pup from 2 blue parents will definitely have skin problems. BUT, there is a far greater incidence of skin problems in blues in general & blues from 2 blue parents in particular. It's called 'Colour Dilution Alopecia'. And it's a fact.

And it's a fact.I didn't say people said defiantly I said were suggesting if you look at the post.it may well be a fact but it is also a fact that bull breeds in particular suffer skin problems.I just offered an opinion that's all!the job I do I come into contact with a lot of dogs and I've also seen a lot of White staffs with allergies.Like I said just going of what a vet once told me.

as everyone is bang on colours etc ive gt another question regrding my black and white male. hes 10 months just an hes starting to prduce black spots on his belly and thrughout his white coat he had a fair few before he jus seems to be acumilating more and more any ideas when this will stop and why its happening now? otherwise hes healthy and hes got good skin

The women i got stan off tbh looking back was problie a what people would label a byb, but stan was £150 and his red brother £150 she wasnt in it for the money, and my brothers dog was from her also and he was £175 as where the rest of the litter including a blue female.

I would never pay more just because its a certain colour.

Stanlie has the black spots and so does hooch theycome out more in the summer, i assume they are like doggy freccles people with light skin get more in the sun and i think this is the same with dogs????

It's just the black pigment coming through more strongly as he matures. It's quite normal & should level out once he's about 18 months or so.

Skye is from Blue and Blue parents, she is KC reg, and has 9 champions on her linage, Sire was DNA tested and clear with papers, no skin ear or eye problems cost £600.

Piebald/Pied dogs tend to gain more spots as they age. Here is a picture of my boy, Saxon, at 10 weeks or so (picture from his original owners):


Here is a picture of his spotty belly now:

Hey Rob , that's a great picture of Skye
Cat , not sure apout Saxon showing the spots on his man bits , do you think he should go to the doctors Only kidding beautiful first pic
