When I and my wife-to-be, Michelle, went on our first date some 24 years ago, she was accompanied by Calla, her 2 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I remember telling a friend of mine she has one of those tough little dogs that are in the news every now and then. Little did I know, my love of the Stafford (and my wife for that matter) was just starting. I lived in London, during most of my twenties, and my experience of Staffords was limited to the Brixton area where I passed through each day on my way to college. I saw dogs, with studded collars, on the leads of young men hanging-out on street corners. I always gave them a wide berth. I guess I held the same mistaken notion of the staffy as is unfortunately still prevalent in much of the media. How wrong I was. Since then, I have come to experience that these dogs are usually as it says in the standard for temperament Bold, fearless, and totally reliable, to which I would add terrific company, funny, and misunderstood. These days, I cross the road to say hello to a Stafford. I also get on my high horse, on occasion, in the face of anti-Stafford hostility, such as one jogger shouting thats a ....... pit bull get it away from me. In 2011, Calla died suddenly, aged 12, and I and my wife felt sadness, at a level we have seldom experienced. Eight years before Calla had a litter of 5 bitches, whelped by my wife Michelle, whilst I was working abroad. Three years later one of those bitches, owned by friends, had a litter and we had our second bitch Daisy Calla's grand-daughter (Daisy Flawless Diamond). On 20th Sept 2011, six weeks after Calla died, Daisy had a litter of five pups and one of those pups was lily (Callastaff Madame George). Four years later Lily has had a litter of 7 pups, and we have our third bitch, Rosie (Ch Callastaff Moon River). Rosie's brother Duke (Ch Callastaff Lakeland Lad) owned by Mark & Lesley Higham is also featured here. In April 2019 Rosie had a litter of two boys (Callastaff Son of the Moon [Jasper], and Callastaff Song to the Moon [Cedar]). In July 2020 Rosie had a second litter of 5 pups. We are Robert & Michelle Scotland, live in Harwell with our four beautiful L-2-HGA & HC Hereditary Clear staffords (Daisy, Lily, Rosie, Cedar). We keep in touch with all pups we have bred on Callastaff Pups on FB. Callastaff Son of the Moon (Jasper, Cedars brother) owned by Cath & Trevor Plumstead and Callastaff Five Years at Bowferry 'Lana-Rae' owned by Paul & Christine Quinn are also featured here. Although our dogs that have been successful at dog shows are featured here, we prefer to sell pups to pet homes as we primarily see ourselves as breeders of pets.
