Gus is a super example of a standard staffordshire bull terrier .
He is available at stud to health tested bitches only, who have tested clear for PHPV/HC and L2 and HC.
He is a proven stud who has produced some beautiful pups who he seems to stamp with his beautiful clean head and body. So far Gus's pups have achieved 3 RCC in UK and 1 CAC and 1 RCAC in Netherlands. Gus is stud book qualified and therefore is Cufts qualified for life.
Please take a moment to read some of Ch Alport Fire Crackers critiques:
*Dark br/w, proof positive that the standard can provide a true balance of bull and terrier. Skull of purposeful proprtions, width with depth, ample stop,neat ears & dark well placed eyes providing typical expression. Straight forequarters, strong but not overdone, with ample width and lift , neck flowed smoothly into withers & topline. Ample spring of rib, with good body definition both from above and side. Short coupled dog with good rear angulation & well muscled hams. Short smooth coat. Movement was smooth and purposeful. CC & RBIS*
Martin Grimwood (Stormstaff)
*Alport Fireracker; star of the day, judged him as a young dog and I’m pleased to see he has matured into the finished article that I expected he would. Terrific head and wicked expression, shortish /strong foreface with large teeth, best of fronts with good width and ample bone, short back, wide at shoulder tapering through ribs to light loins and powerful rear quarters. His conditioning was unsurpassed today and he exuded an image of power and athleticism. Best Dog and Best In Show *
Craig Dillon (Cragails)
*Brindle with white front. This dog’s biggest virtue is his balance – no part is exaggerated.
A “hard as nails dog” who might benefit from not being quite as fit as this.
Beautiful clean cut head with a great expression. Very alert and on his toes all the time. Isn’t that how a Stafford is supposed to be?
Enough width in front with well- muscled neck flowing into a short coupled, strong body. Well- angulated hindquarters and a good bend of stifle. Leans more towards the terrier than many of today’s exhibits but this didn’t deter me from awarding him the CC, his 3rd I believe. Congratulations.*
Patrick McGlyn
*Fit and athletic looking black brindle dog with beautiful head shape and deep through skull, leading to strong under jaz that housed big canines in a nice length of muzzle.His straight and clean cur front is so noticeable. He has a deep rib cage and is well tucked up in the loins. Nice length of body but short coupled due to good angulations. Up on his pasterns and well padded feet and walked with a free flowing action whilst holding his top line level.
Awarded CC and best of breed*
Tony Brindley (Cabrindle)
Gus was mated to Cragails Wild Wooer and a litter of 6 beautiful bitches was born back in February 2007- one of the bitches we kep (Tusselstaff Black Fury). Both pups currently being shown from Gus & Libbys litter have their stud book numbers meaning they are Crufts qualified for life. Tusselstaff Little Cracker has also been awarded 3 RCCs with the first gained at just 15 months of age!
