could anyone tell me how to get a staffie puppy to stand,i know about ringcraft,but i want to send some good pictures to the breeder.Hope some 1 can help
Hard work and patience,stand her in a box position and use treats as a reward,or visit your local ringcraft club and they will give you some pointers.Don't over do it though pups get bored try a few times a day for about 5-10 mins.
a treat placed just in front of the nose can help :-)
Puppies are hard to stand still, so try to do a little bit every day making them stand for 10 mins at a time and reward with a treat, they soon get to like it :-)
10 mins? mine wont stand still for more than 10 seconds!
10 minutes! WOW! I dont know anyone who can get their dog to stand for 10 minutes!
its not that hard if you have treats and get them used to it. the best time to try getting them to learn to stand is when they have had a good run around and tired themselves out from playing, then its easier to get them to stand still :-)

I teach my puppies to stand when I feed them - I start off by holding their food bowl at shoulder height when they eat and getting their feet into position. By about 10 weeks I wait till they've got all four feet still on the floor before I lower the dish. As time goes on they're happy to wait longer and longer till they get their reward. By show age they generally stand long enough for a judge to check them over - a minute at a time is usually long enough. :)
Mind you, this is a free-standing breed, not a stacked one like Staffies, so the position required is different.
