hi,
if you use a black dog and a white bitch you will most likely have
black puppies with white,or pied puppies white with black markings,there is a colour combo that can produce blues but this is not guaranteed.iam sorry but i will not put this on here,
there seems to be a craze for blue pups at the moment,but i think temperment and good breeding should be the most important factor and not colour.
sorry if you think iam speaking out of turn but thats my option

Hi Deb

You said it right.

Mick.

Before we obtained our pup we made lots of enquiries with lots of breeders and there seems to be abig difference of opinion on blue pups. One breeder said they sold at a higher price because obviously they are rarer , whilst another ( horrible woman ) said if she personally bred one she would destroy it as it is a throwback . Needless to say , we never got ANY colour pup from her !!!

Hi
Not knowing a lot about this breed I am intrested if the blue is blue as in the colour or another thing!!!!!

Its hard to explain really - more a dusky grey colour ? Can anyone decribe it better > But dont worry you wont see any skyblue staffs walking about !!

thanks I was trying hard not to imgine a blue dog :.)

I think if you want to go down this road, you will need to do a lot more research on genetics. But, i would hazard a guess, that by the time you know enough to breed blue staffs, either the demand will have gone, or you might just have realized that there is more to breeding dogs than just the color of the resulting puppies.
I would concentrate far more on wether the pups were healthy, nice temperamented examples of the breed, not what color they are.
