Buying a Staffordshire Bull Terrier
So, you are looking to buy a dog, and, more specifically, a
Bull Terrier. This is a great breed of dog but a little
tricky to buy. There is so much you need to know when
looking to buy this breed of dog, so here are some things
to look for when buying a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
1. When buying a dog, especially this dog, you need to make
sure that you ask to see the originals of the Pedigree
papers. With this you should be able to check the
Staffordshire Bull Terrier breeder's documentation, which
will include the Kennel and Prefix number. Also, make sure
that this information is up to date.
You may not want to do this because you do not want to be a
bother to the breeder; but, if they are a serious breeder
they will expect you to ask for this information. If at any
point they seem to be hesitant to give you this information
you should begin to get suspicious about the pedigree of
the dog.
The reason this information is important is because this
breed of Bull Terriers have a breeding standard that has
been established to ensure that certain characteristics
that define the breed continue to be passed down.
2. Only buy a Staffordshire Bull Terrier from a breeder who
is registered to breed them. This is the best, and
sometimes only, way to guarantee you are getting what you
are paying for. There are hundreds of people who were
looking to save a few bucks, bought this breed of Bull
Terrier from someone who was not registered to breed them,
and ended up with a completely different breed of dog.
If you buy from a registered breeder you do not only get
the piece of mind that you are getting the real deal, but
you also get the option of papers that will certify the
dogs lineage. These papers are completely optional for you
to take but it just further tells you that you are getting
the right Bull Terrier.
3. When purchasing your pup you need to be on the lookout
for defects. If you buy from a registered breeder you can
be ensured that you are buying a dog that has a proven and
traceable blood-line, but these dogs are still able to have
defects. Most of the defects are visible in full grown dogs
but a few of them can still be spotted when a dog is young.
If you follow these three tips to buying a Staffordshire
Bull Terrier you will be on your way to owning the dog you
have always wanted.
