Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier Discussions

your dog cannot possibly have been sired by CH Psycho, this dog died some time ago :wink: your dog is probably descended from the Psycho line as this strain of dogs are very common, my dogs are related to Psycho through a dog called jocko that you might have heard of

hi, the champions in his line are psycho, lancstaff sparby boy, malasser mauler, colonel red, ruby red, cinnamon, dudleys pied lad, and harklings lauras lass plus a few more
i have to say, i used to have neopolitan mastiffs so are very aware of their lines, but not a staffs, i have no idea if any of the dogs i have previously mentioned are known or not, but either way i just wondered if he was a pbt or not??? ty

he looks like an SBT to me, with a dash of "Irish" blood
have you looked on the shakers and turnstyle sites? they give a bit of background on the psycho line of dogs, how they are bred etc. :wink:

no what are they?

I will PM you a couple of links

ty

ive had a look, but how could i trace those dogs names that ive given? my dog does appear to look a great deal like them mind!!!!

there are some beautiful dogs there i must say. it would just be nice if i could see any dogs coming down to his lineage.

thks for ur help

The dog CH Psycho is on both sites, if you look at the male dogs or pedigree pages you will see how he is bred :wink:

Hi does anyone on dogweb know if ther is such a thing as a Whiptail Staff or is that the same thing as an Irish Staff? Also how big do Irish Staffs get as I have an eight month old male who is about 20-21 inches at the shoulder.

Hello Bolty, never heard of a whiptailed Staff, I would think about another inch is as much as you will get on your pup, which is quite tall for an Irish Stafford.

Nope never heard of a "whip tail" Stafford in my life, new one to me - not being funny or owt but is this serious?

We live in the south of England and there are a fair few breeders that advertise their Staffy pups as Whiptail Staffs and as Whiptail x Irish Staff. My friend bought a Staff which the breeder said was Whiptail from scotland and it is pedigree with kc papers so there is obviously some confusion on what a Whiptail actually is. Maybe it is just another name for Irish.

Very odd, never in my life heard this but that does not mean it doesnt exist just I come from Scotland and never heard this in my life.......

There is only one Stafford recognised by the Kennel Club and that is the Staffordshire Bull Terrier so any KC papers would and could only be for a Staffordshire Bull Terrier (not Irish etc). Is whiptail maybe a kennel affix?

I thought affix to Laura, but never heard of any affix remotely like Whiptail.

So what is an Irish Staff if its not a Staff?
