Message: hi to keetch kennels and all the Bullbreed fans and owners. i got my first Stafford in 1986 but my father had 2 English bullterriers back in the 70s so i was pretty much brauht up with this gifted breed. I left school in 1985 and went along to a Stafford KC show in Hamilton. Ther i met the great old timer ABE HARKNESS. i had phoned and he agreed to talk to me at the show about buying proper bred Stafford’s. in those few minites i had with MR. HARKNESS he told me that the Staffordshire was the real bullterrier and looked at a set of papers i had took along to show him on a pup i paid for. well he took one look at the papers and broke my heat they were fales. the so called breeder got the whole litter out of the paper and sold them on for profet.i reported her to the kennel club but i never got a penny back from her. but i had made up my mind to find some real staffs.i got 2 K C type dogs Thor the thunderer and Bluepauls. Penny. i showed Thor the thunderer as a pup and came aw! ay with a seconed and third in 2 classes. Penny was not KC reg. but i knew the sire and dam. any way i bred Thor and penny and got Jason. I also bred penny to a dog called spike who got attacked by 3 working jack Russels while out with my uncle in the country 2 of the poor terriers never saw the sunrise the next day. after that he passed thrue my hands to a man called Norman. but i bred him to my penny bitch and got a bitch called molly from that mateting. then Jason and molly were bred and storm was born.this was about the 1994.5 times. and i had heard and read about game irish strian staffords.i ended up buying bluepauls diamond uot of CH. MILO and Simon’s Curtins Tara. kenny bedwell already had the cloud bitch. and when he bred cloud to Mgills buster.he gave me wallace a red dog with white.wallace was crossed with my KC.type storm bitch.fro this mateing came my gypo bitch.gypo was bred back into wallace to get dutch so now dutch was inbred back into her father who was also her ! grandfather.triple bred wallace pups.o.nials mad malky and o.n! ials shanty. the inbreeding was done to enhance the irish blood over the KC. bloodline. mad malky and shanty were bred. brother sister mateing.and BAILLIES BOAB was kept in Ayrshire.here in scotland theres plenty of psycho blood but not much docks.gr.ch.duke blood.as in scotland mgills buster was the only staff up here who had this blood.i also saw haggler2 when kenny wratten had him up in glasgow he was 8yrs then.i was up at MR.WRATTENS house with kenny bedwell middil 90s sometime.we were planning to use the haggler2 dog.over cloud and later over my bluepauls diamond. but MR.BEDWELL went for mgills buster instaed.haggler2 was sold i heard a few yrs later a graet dog he was a stoky type dog.i will dig out some photos of me and kenny bedwell with haggler2. bedwells cloud. Blue pauls Diamond and others for your web site.ill write some more info on some of the dogs up here soon. all the best Paul Boyle.
