Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier Discussions

sorry but how do i get there ...and what do i do once im there

If I wanted a pet quality Stafford then I think 300 is a reasonable limit and should get you a good pet but that is just MY limit and what I see fit to pay that’s all, different strokes for different folks. I feel that Staffords are ten a penny these days not to mention the abundance of them in rescue centres, sure these may not make great show etc dogs but as pets I am sure they do just fine, a lot of good Staffords are around but are overlooked for the “rare blue dogs” or “Irish” that go for huge amounts of money just to line the breeders pockets. I think the market is huge at the moment and a lot of people get ripped off to be completely honest. If I wanted a dog from specific lines or was offered a pup from parents I liked or a breeder I trusted then yeah I would perhaps pay over the odds and obviously if somebody is looking for a show etc dog then that’s a different kettle of fish….that’s jmo. I stick by what I said about blues and all the other colours that are in vogue, I think its disgusting taht somebody should sell half a litter for say £400 and the other half for £800 because they are a different colour..

thats in a perfect world but as long as there is a demand for certin colours people will allways exploit that,and as long as people pay the money that is what will happen. you said if you wanted a dog from specific lines or breeder you would pay over the odds thats what people do if they want a blue dog for example ,and if the dogs are going for over the price then thats their decision if they want to pay it.

eraze how much does one of your presa canario dogs go for my friend is interested ib getting one but does not know the price of them as any adds that he has seen dont state a price. what are they like as a pet are they friendly, how big do they grow etc

Laura I agree with you. A pet quality stafford I wouldn't really pay more then £350-400 for. Staffords from a good breeder are selling anywhere from £400-£600 a piece these days. I have spoken to well known kennels and this seems to be the going rate for a good, well bred KC registered staff.

the prices have gotten so stoopid! and its just my luck i start looking now for another pup, but luckily ive found a pup for 350...just got to do a bit more research into them!

U are sooo right IrishEyes. Even non-kc registered pups are selling for £200+ these days

pah! i can only find cross breeds for that much in my area....as long as they have some kind of relation to a staff the prices r mad, and Irish staff thats another story....the blue 'irish' pup i was interested in....turns out twas a Irish staffXstandard staff....and they were going for 500...and i seen another add for kc reg staffs....brindles 380...whites 600!! has the world gone mad!! lol

The world has gone completely off it's trolley IrishEyes. I saw somewhere someone selling a non-kc registered 'blue' staffy bitch for £500

Most people are in it just to make a quick buck and they know that there are people out there gullable enought to buy one for that price too

but the thing that gets me is wen they go... 300quid....non kc hence price! HENCE price?!?! bloody mad!!!

rofl IrishEyes that's what get's me too.

sundays trade it has one for £400 non kc reg

eraze my mate has had a few dogs before he has an old type bulldogee and a patterdale terrier at present are the presa a very dominant dog then

Well, personally id sooner pay £??? what ever for a good quality "irish staff" before parting with a shilling for a Kc registered one...does Kc papers make them better...?...no way :?

Well I agree with you on that score, I dont think that having any type of registration guarantees a good dog or makes it worth more than the next, its the dog that makes the papers and not the papers that make a dog.
