World Class Dog Owner or World Class Dogs? (Part 9)

Speaking of being a world class dog owner I begin to think, "What would it be like to own world class show dogs?" Although Coco was highly intelligent, he certainly wasn't a show dog. In one of the many publication that I was reading at the time I came across the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Something about them intrigued me. I couldn't get over their size and I was fascinated with the notion of them being the perfect "nanny" dog. The magazine I was reading had several examples of Staffies and even boasted a pied red and white on the front cover. As I looked more and more into it I knew they were the breed for me. They were the perfect size, perfect temperament and made the perfect family dog. We have three little girls and they would make the perfect nannies for our Joy, Hope and Faith.

Low and behold one day I was running errands and I saw a sign in front of a house which said, "Staffordshire Bull Terriers for Sale." I didn't believe it so I zipped back around to see if I had read correctly. I had never seen a Staffy before and I was excited to see one in person. I called the number on the sign and asked if I could stop by and see the pups. What I encountered was impressive to say the least and I knew I had to get my hands on one of those puppies. I went home and talked with my wife about them and sure enough we ended up purchasing a dark brindle which we named, Cadence. As we brought her home we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. What ensued was our biggest adventure with dogs to date.

So Long for Now,
