In future development of the Longdrive affix it goes forward with the two dogs, to list a few difference’s Max (Longdrive Bijou) and Lilly (Longdrive Praire Rose) in both cases the only difference is in the Dam both are litter sister coming out of Classic find at Alport with the Sire being Rikers Secret Sidekick. The Sire to both dogs is Blue (Longdrive Blue Blazer at Longdrive) which is breed from Sire Champion Judael both Barrels at Nozac (well known top Stud Dog) and from Dam Westbank Ice Maiden (pied bitch) which is were the pied breeding of our litters come from.
In the case of the Alport Line we believe that the nice looking bitches go back to the Sire Champion Spirestaff Jimmy Jazz line and the nice lift of leg goes back to the Sire Champion Simple the Best Line, as could be said that the nicely defined head goes back through the Sire Champion Judael Both Barrels at Nozac Line were as the muscular build of these dogs seem to go back to the Moosskel Medicine Man line.
So as you can see these factors we feel have contributed to the development of these two dogs that we have breed and so that is were we feel is only our beliefs on certain attributes of these dogs, but most of all is the main factor of fitness and health of the breed lines. The most concerning factors we always feel is the most important of all of these is health it is no good having a good looking dog that cannot perform the most basic task’s. We feel that the type of dog we are breeding is very fit good looking Staffordshire Bull Terrier dogs and able to enjoy life to the full.

We feel looking at these two dogs that they take the Affix Longdrive forward to the development and the benefit of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier breed good length of muzzle, good lift of leg, nice straight fronts, good strong hind quarters, good scissor bite, nice movement, nice tight feet, good depth of brisket, correct bend of stifle, nice ear carriage, pump handle tail carriage, good depth of shoulder, to list but a few of the finer points we feel these dogs carry forward for our breeding.

To prepare for the Stafford, go to the local Veterinary Surgeon. Tip the contents of your purse/wallet onto his counter and tell him to help himself. Then go to the pet shop. Arrange to have your wages paid directly to their accountant. Go home and read the paper in peace for the last time.
• Before you finally get a Stafford, find a couple who already have one and berate them about their methods of discipline, lack of patience, appallingly low tolerance levels, and how they have allowed their dog to run riot. Suggest ways in which they might improve their dog’s sleeping habits, toilet training, table manners and overall behaviour. Enjoy it – it’ll be the last time in your life that you will have all the answers.
• To discover how the night feels, go to bed at 10pm. set the alarm for midnight, wake up and throw yourself violently onto the floor. Place a 56lb bag of potatoes on the duvet and attempt to get back under the covers. Reset the alarm for 5.30am and, just as you are waking up, slap yourself in the face with a large wet sponge. Get up, make breakfast, keep this up for 14 years, try to look cheerful.
• Can you stand the mess that dogs make? To find out first throw 2 gallons of mud onto a newly mopped kitchen floor, smear the excess up the sides of the cooker and kitchen units. Tread a little into the hall and living room carpets. Stick your fingers in the flower-beds and rub them on the clean walls. Now, how does that look?
• Walk down the road with one arm fully extended; break into a jog extending the arm even further. Say "heel" nicely, several times. Shout "heel" several more. Scream ‘stop pulling damn you’. Ignore looks from passers-by.
• Forget the BMW and buy a Ford Sierra. Buy a rawhide chew, a packet of dog biscuits and a large bone. Mash them down the back of the rear seats. Go to the hairdressers and obtain a week’s floor sweepings. Distribute liberally on the seats and carpets. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car. There, perfect!
• Get ready to go out, try to sneak out of the door without making a sound. Go halfway down the garden path, come back. Five minutes later try again. Come back. Put on the stereo and make soothing noises. Try again. Come back. Ring friends and tell them to come round to see you instead.
• Practice sitting on not more that 1/8th of the sofa and try different methods of balancing a hot cup on your knees. When, if ever, you perfect this, try eating a packet of crisps/ biscuits silently whilst keeping the packet totally out of sight. Give up and sprinkles crumbly residue down back of sofa.
• Tie 2 dinner forks together and put a dog lead on a door hook. Rehearse picking up the dog lead silently. When it rattles scratch yourself very hard down the shins with the forks. Repeat procedure several times. Go to the sports shop and obtain a pair of goalkeeper’s shin pads.
•Now for a final tip start practicing even trying to see your computer screen while balancing 40 odd lbs of Stafford on you lap. IMPOSSIBLE.....Nah you just need to start practising when they are tiny now using the keyboard is an artform.
• Always repeat everything you say at least five times. Always repeat everything you say…Always repeat everything you say.....Always.....Get the picture
