MISTY EXCELLED HERSELF GAINING HER STUD BO0K NUMBER AND QUALIFYING FOR CRUFTS FOR LIFE AT PAIGNTON CHAMP SHOW ON 05/08/08, 9 DAYS OFF 22 MONTHS OF AGE. SHE ALSO CAME 2ND IN YEARLING AND 1ST IN POST GRADUATE. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK TONY MORAN FOR THINKING HIGHLY ENOUGH OFF OUR GIRL TO WARD HER THESE PLACINGS.

Hi we are based on the South Coast and we started out with our first Staffordshire Bull Terrier in November 1993. He was a Bridle & White Dog called "Baxter" (Brindle Beatnik). We then purchased a Brindle Pied Bitch in 1997 called "Polly" (My Little Lovelly). Sadly Baxter passed away in March 2004 aged 10.5 years.

We decided in May that we just couldn't live without another Dog so we picked out "Sidney" (Acute Finish For Acutestaff) from Polly's breeder on May 16th aged 4 days and brought him home in July. Sidney sadly broke his leg and caught Parvo at the age of 5.5 months. It was touch and go but he survived.

We decided on the spur of the moment to start showing Sidney in August 2006 when he was 2. His first show was The City of Portsmouth Open Show and Christine Kerrigan was the Judge. Sidney entered 2 classes and gained a reserve in each. From that day we caught the bug. Sidney retired from showing in June 2007 as he started to get cramp in his leg and suffers with allergies for which he sees an Homeopathic vet. After extensive blood tests done in the USA it has been found that Sidney has Hypothyroidism and so will have to take medication for the rest of his life. We have been assured by the vets that it is not hereditary and so none of his pups will be affected. Sidney's health should improve once the medication is at the right dose.

In November 2006 we applied for and was granted our Affix "ACUTESTAFF". We also decided to add to our family and so brought home a Black Brindle & White Bitch called "Misty" (Who Da Thought It Of Acutestaff). Misty started her show career in May 2007 and has done very well to date being placed in nearly every show in the 1st 4. She was one place of qualifying for Crufts 2008. Hopefully if we keep working hard at showing she might make it for 2009. Misty was The Downlands S.B.T. Club Top Bitch for 2007 missing being overall Top SBT for 2007 by 2 points.

We decided again in May that we wanted to add another to the family and so on 16th June along came a Dark Brindle & White Bitch called "Chilli" (Winzack She'll Do Nicely For Acutestaff). Chill entered the show ring aged 7 Months and has been placed a few times. Alan showed her for the first time in Jan 08 and they gained 3rd place.

We would like to thank Donna MacDonald for Polly & Sidney, Jackie & Wayne Skelton for Misty and Andy & Julie Land for Chilli. We would also like to thank everyone who has helped and advised us along the way. Special thanks to Mr Alan Hedges(Ramblix) for his input on Misty and to think enough of her to award her 1st place in 2 classes at Southern Counties Champ Show in Oct '07.

THANKYOU EVERYONE
