thanks once again for you honest answer!
You're welcome.
but after 35 years in dogs, the tabloid press has nothing to do with my beliefs, I don't buy newspapers. Dawn R.

It is true that the Irish Kennel Club do not recognise these breeds. The information on this is easy enough to check.
IKC Reg regarding Irish Staffords is a registration system run by Ed Reid.

but I feel that, if the breed is to survive, we must try to ride out this storm. hopefully there will be enough true breeders out there to keep the true lines alive!! and one day who knows? I'll always keep the faith! the best dogs I've ever owned!
