Thought this was funny advert, found it on fb

Wanted blue staffordshire bullterrier, must be pedigree, must have papers, short legged English, not long legged long snout Irish... Female... Pup or under 3 years...

In other words, they want a breeding machine.

looks like it, sad isn't really. Bet the girl think she'll make money out of it, i could be wrong thou.

Nice!

That's usually the thinking behind it. Have a litter every 6 months, say 6 pups per litter at £300 per pup. That's £3600 per year, tax free, as the inland revenue have no way of knowing that you've had the money. They'll spend £200 each time on a stud (or use a 'friend's' dog) and that's still £3200!

Immoral, but totally legal.

suppose she's looking for this kc reg blue staffy pup free lol

Lets hope she DOESN'T get what she's after....

People will do anything for $$$$$$$$$$ and to hell with the poor dog or where the puppies will end up ... GGRRR!!!!!

funny you should say that, when Tara that girl that i got bruno from and we're now friend, she had one pup left who she named Romeo, and advertised on many site including pets for sale or free in bedfordshire, someone said if you stuck and cant sell, i am willing to give him a home for free and Tara as if i am going to give a blue staffy away for nothing, some people are unbelievable.

That's so true

I have never had a litter of puppies I tried my girl but she was having none of it but I had homes for 6 they were all free to family members I wasnt making a penny and if any unfortunatly needed to be rehomed they would come back to me. They all had loving and non breeding homes.
I have also only used the dog limitedly on girly dogs equal to him who feel as I do, the pups never advertised,

Yes, but you're a responsible owner who cares for her dogs, and any pups they may have! You wouldn't breed for £££££s, but for the betterment of the breed.

If everyone thought as you do, there wouldn't be half the problem of unwanted dogs that there is now!

We may all be jumping to conclusions, she may just want to buy a KC reg pup. I know a lot of people who will only buy a 'purebred' dog and won't even look at one without papers.

Yes, but why ask on fb? What's wrong with contacting breeders?

for some reason a blue stafford with papers round here your looking at £700-£1000 (i personally woudnt pay it)
i cant see them wanting to show the bitch coz as lovely as they are i dont think blue is in favour of judges.
but saying that i am very picky i know what i like looks wise and if i had intentions of showing id not buy unless i was getting a good breed standard dog/bitch from good lines.
and i agree with another comment why ask on FB there are plenty of accredited breeders out there with dedicated websites.
i love KC dogs coz you know the history the lines rough idea of tempremant and get the ped papers.
Rescue dogs i like the idea of a rescue dog for the mystery and the excitement of giving a dog with a colourful past a very bright future.

bravo well put
Although people do have the perseption that blues dont do well in the show ring thats because not many blues conform im afraid but the few that do are winning its just that people who show look more to conformation than colour.
