For the Stafford Fancier.......Nostalgic Pics..
Here are some pictures I thought may be of interest to the Stafford Fanciers & Bull Terrier Fanciers on here, it is old pictures I have come accross along the way of KC staffords from the early and latter half of last century and a few of the old style EBTs.
No pictures were resized for dogweb because they are simply unviewable at a smaller size, hope you enjoy.
Crufts 1939 Look at the Variance in Colour, all of the dogs look much fitter too than the Staffords you would see at Crufts today shame they never kept the breed Standard as it was

Champions 56-65 Like Weycomb Cherry she looks nicely proportioned & not too overdone.

1971-1977 Champions seems there was a variance even back then but looks like there were more in proportion dogs too

An old EBT picture, shame the breed never stayed this way rather than overexaggerated way they look today imo they look in proportion & fit in these pics I havent seen a Bullie in a while I could describe as such.
Another old EBT picture
Last pic of an EBT (drawing).
For anybody interested there is a new website (
www.staffordtribute.com you need to wait for the pop-up it is the website) it features information stories & pics of Staffords mainly Irish bred ones the picture gallery is particularly good.
Hope you enjoyed them!
