The Dog Show Show

Staffordshire Breed Standard

In previous episodes you may have heard us talk about things like "Breed Standards" and "Fit for purpose". Every dog has a standard they must meet to be considered a show dog and in this episode we look at what those standards are for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. We talk about size, colouring, temprament and of course, what fit for purpose actually is. I promise you that you will hear something you didn't know about this wonderful breed.

PS: Listen out for when I controversially question whether or not there is a 'gap' in the standards. It's a must listen.
