Bruno

Our Walk This Morning Just Some Photo's I Got By Chance





Bruno Playing Hide N Seek

nice looking blue dog, the market is flooded with blues at the moment

Nice pics x, Bruno's getting big now. Lovely x

Awww! he's gorg! =P

Awww, lovely pics

if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for bruno, cause the blues seem to be a bit over priced at the moment

and to honest with you i cant see why they are fetching big money. as they are just interbred black staffs

Shane lets just say we didn't pay a high price for him nor a low price, more of a middle of the road price.

thank you All

what a handsome boy he is and hasn't he grown

Thank you

He's growing to quick for my liking but he's growing into a lovely dog, much more then i thought, untill now i didn't realise how lovely staffy's are in looks and temperament. But coming on here and seeing all the photo's of all the beautiful and handsome dogs on here, it has made me love the breed even more, perhaps people who aren't up on staffy's should read this site and look at the photo's and then their minds might be changed about what the media/newspaper says about this breed.

We went to our local carboot sale, which was really busy, i walked him down 4 rows and omg that was enough, so many people kept stopping us to have a cuddle and a stroke it was unbelieve but there was the ones that need to read up on the breed, Bruno being a puppy and likes chewing hands but in a friendly way got hold of a girl's hand she must have been in her late 20's (nothing personal to the 20's on here ) but she looked at me as if to say he bite me, I said to her, he doesn't bite, he's a puppy and doing what a puppy would do and i am in progress of training him not to do it and I think you had better read up on staffy's when you get home

awww beautiful Bruno....


yeah today on the RSPCA walk everyone was coming over and making a fuss of Winston.. aww little puppy.. poor Jethro, everyone was ignoring him....but Winston latched on to a few hands too! His teeth are sharper than razors..YOW!!

I felt like carrying a sign, touch at your own risk

Awww poor Jethro he need fussing too, put a sign round his neck, please fuss me, I love attention too

Shane it irrelevant what was paid i paid less than £700 for mine and he's certainly not interbred he's from a pied Blue/white bitch and a black dog

im just saying people are paying extortionate prices for blues at the moment this is down to greedy breeders. not long ago blues weren't even recgonised by the kennel club cause they were inter bred from black staffs.

Thanks Marty

At the end of day, it doesn't matter what we paid, As long as the puppy is fit and healthy and we are very happy with the puppy, can't ask for a better puppy if I tried

Do your research Blue has always been a traditional colour it just fell out of favour and is now back in demand

i dont have to do any research your the one who has to do the research they fell out of favour what does that mean, at the end of the day, blues were produced from breeding two black staffs together from the same litter.

not always true shane iv known people to breed unrelated black dogs and gettin blues in the litter so inbreeding is not always the case

yes bigwazza that maybe true, but the original true blue as they were called were bred with to black staffs from the same litter. and a lot of the blues produced today are descended from them two dogs

I'm sorry, but that is totally wrong. The colour blue is just a dilute of black. It happens quite naturally from non-related matings. The reason it fell out of favour is because of the lack of pigment, which is a fault is you intend to show your dog.

the first ever blue dog that was produced came from two siblings been bred together

The blue colour in staffs has been around since before they actually became a recognised breed! It is thought to have come from the Blue Paul (now extinct).

and you know this as fact how iv done much reserce into the staffie breed and also the heratage and how the blue staff came along and iv never came across this statment as stated in carylls post it is thought to come from the blue paul and is a natral not manufactured colour

look at the end of the day, where did the colour blue come from, it came from black dogs its called genetics and thats where the colour blue came from black dogs. so if you can find blue pauls bloodline (which i doubt you will), you will see that he is from a line of black dogs. its simple as that.

Maybe.........but blue didn't come from two siblings mated together!

there as never a black paul they were allways blue its kind ov in the name

i think ye are contradicting yourselves as ye said blue is a dilution of balck so there must have been black in the line to produce a blue.

The blue colour is a dilute of black, nobody is denying that. There almost certainly was black in the ancestors of the Blue Paul, but as there are no records of how the breed came to be, it's impossible to say how they originally first produced the Blue Paul.

You have said that the first blue stafford was produced by the mating of two siblings - that is totally false. That's why I brought up the Blue Paul, because that's where the colour is most likely to have come from.

We might as well agree if you keep going back there from wolves or go further back mine from Adam & Eve the naughty rascals

well I am still amazed at the amazing variety of colours of Winston's 9 brothers and sisters.. his mummy was like a dark black/brindle.. and his daddy a tan colour....

Exactly Vanessa my mam bred black Labs never did a blue one pop out.

Shane could be correct but who knows which 2 dogs bred in 1823 the blue could be diluted black, a through back to old blue in the gene's or maybe a black dog is just a dark blue one

who know's and who cares if you don't like don't buy no problem

Exactly I love my blue staffy and he loves me back and that's all that matters
