There were between 100-127 Staffords entered at this weekends shows at one of the largest terrier events in the country! Some of our closest friends were there this weekend and those who could not make it were in our hearts. We are so humbled and quite grateful to have been recognized at this very special weekend. We have been supporting the PSBTC almost since its inception and have been very active, involved members of SBTCA for well over two decades. To say this special recognition was exciting and fulfilling  is a huge understatement. Our gratitude goes to each person who has been gracious and kind to one another in Staffords all around the world. We all come together for the same reason; and that is to PROMOTE - PRESERVE - PROTECT the Staffordshire Bull Terrier! If we have not yet had the opportunity to thank you in person, please accept this post for now - when we meet again we will acknowledge one anothers dedication and support of this breed. All of the regional clubs and overseas clubs, The Stafford Knot, Inc. and The Heritage Center shows how much we all care about the Stafford. To be in the ribbons at shows is the icing on the cake. This year, Felix got a huge slice of cake. Thank you!
