Ghostpine Staffordshire Bull Terrier Questionnaire

Ghostpine Staffordshire Bull Terrier Questionnaire

Please answer the following questions as thoroughly as you can. Thank you for your interest in our Staffordshire Bull Terriers. We happily produce versatile family pets with many outstanding dogs in conformation, Search And Rescue, Service Dog/Therapy, Performance - and all are loving family pets first. We are home to the Canadian Conformation All Time record holder as well as his granddaughter who holds the Canadian record for the youngest to be awarded a Best In Show. Our dogs have the following health clearances: OFA hips/elbows/dentition, DNA L2HGA, DNA HC, DNA with Embark for 170+ genetic conditions, CERF by ophthalmologist, PHPV Clear by ophthalmologist and heart auscultation by cardiologist.
Following are some questions that we use for pre-screening our potential Staffordshire Bull Terrier owners. Please give the questions a lot of thought and answer them as completely and honestly as you are able. We want to make sure our puppies go to homes best suited for the breed's temperament and energy levels. I will always recommend what I think is best for the potential buyers. If a Stafford is not the right breed for them, I will recommend a different breed. If I think they will make a good home for a Stafford, but I don’t have a puppy for them, I can refer them to another Stafford breeder if they would like.
