***Update- Gus's daughter Tusselstaff Little Cracker was awarded her first RCC at the young age of 15 months at Scottish SBT Club Champ Show- May 20 08***
Gus is our first show dog and we have been extremely lucky to have been able to campaign him and achieve his Champion status in 2006.
He is a superb example of the more athletic stafford .
Gus is available at stud to health tested bitches only, who have tested clear for both 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 up on the leg.
He is stud book qualified and therefore is Cufts qualified for life.
Gus was mated to Cragails Wild Wooer and a litter of 6 beautiful bitches was born in February 2007. There was tremendous interest in this litter so please watch out for some of the Tusselstaff girls in the show ring after August 2007 both in the UK and the Netherlands.
For information on other pups/litters due and sired by CH. Alport Fire Cracker please feel free to contact us for details.
Please Note:
It is important that anyone looking for a pup should ensure that both dam and sire has been tested for PHPV/HC (with unaffected results) and also L 2 Hga - You should ask to see their certificates
Those that have the breeds best interest at heart will have tested for all above conditions
For any advice or information please feel free to contact me either by telephone or email and I will do my best to help you in your search

*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
*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*
