Staffordshire Bull Terriers

Hello i'm the owner of 2 beautiful sbt's 1 at 5months and the other who is 1week but abviously not with us yet. Their in my eyes the best breed of dog and i thought i'd create this site so people could see staffords for what they really are. Not those horrible mutts who go around biting people at every chance they get!!! They are a beautiful breed and are extremely placid, I will try fill the site with photos, info and links to other sbt lovers so everyone can see what lovely dogs these are.

Faults
Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree and its effect upon the health and welfare of the dog.

Note
Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum

We will shortly be opening the store!! Very exciting and i hope that it will do well. Now there are a few things on already for people to get a look at but please do note that prices should be in GBP not US dollars. So if it says $1.00, its actually £1.00.

So please bear with me i will try sort it out. Also i'm not to sure about the delivery charges yet as i can only put on what it will cost for single products as i am sending them through royal mail. so if you order more that 1 prducti will work out the price and let you know.
