where to buy staffordshire bull terrier puppy in london?

Hi I have question. My question is in the topic ) So please tell me where? Gumtree, or another source? Thanks.

Find a reputable breeder, or rescue

Kennel Club site or ChampDog. Gumtree breeders are 'backyard breeders' and should be avoided, parents should always be health tested!

I think I will buy on gumtree. It's cheapest and easiest

And no doubt the pup will end up ill due to poor breeding!

it's people who by from these 'breeders' whose pups end up abandoned and PTS or if lucky enough in rescue cos the 'breeders' do not take responsibility for the pup if the owner can no longer keep it!

No guarantee it will even be what they are advertising either and you could have a dog bred to look like type.

Rescue or a proper breeder!!!!

So why ask if your mind was already set on purchasing from Gumtree

If its 'cheapest and easiest' then you don't deserve to have a dog. You need to pay out vet bills, insurance, food, toys, bed/bedding.

No doubt it'll end up in a rescue at some point. Don't put a pup through that, if you want something cheap and easy get a goldfish.

Windup alert

Seriously ? Is this a wind up ?
Any serious dog owner would do some research about the breed they are looking at getting. Even contact the Staffordshire bull terrier breed council for advise, indeed call the Kennel Club or certainly look on their web site for assured breeders, most breeders will advertise litters available.

Gumtree is full of staffys yes, but almost everyone on this forum wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Whatever pup u get, make sure it's at least 8wks old, u meet both sire and dam, are given advise from the breeder on feeding/exercise.
Ideally get a pedigree, with proper kennel club papers !

Steer clear of gumtree plz!

haha thats why there on a temp bann cant be arsed with stupid people today lol

Maybe do some homework on the breed first.

3 opinions here, mine I will only rescue but will advise finding a correct path, Stu who has 2 from a reputable breeder (look up his posts, they might help you) & rescuestaffords who's name speaks for itself.

Owning a dog isn't about being cheap and easy.

Sierra cost me £150 alone in petrol to get there and back

Dedication is what you need , not Gumtree . Obvious wind up Stu but there ya goes

My girls were bought locally but I know of a few ppl who have had to travel to get their pup> You have a dog for approx 14 years so a little travel evens out. Threr are a lot of rescues at Battersea puppies too

avoid gumtree, all from puppy farms and delivered by courier, i reported several adverts reputing to be local family breeders but they were all scams.
ended up buying noah from a lovely family in wolverhampton, £120 , no papers but , he's our pet, no intention of showing or breeding.
