>two new staff's


Think you'll be too exhausted to show :D
The obvious place to start is having a chat to their breeder who may take you under their wing if the pups are suitable although I must confess I would have serious doubts about any breeder that let two pups go together!  Otherwise join your local show handling classes and hope to meet a few more breed enthusiasts for guidance.  If you let us know roughly were you are someone may recommend a class.

Hi there Darren, the first thing to do is to find the nearest ringcraft near to you. This is where you will learn how to handle your dogs in the ring and its a great place to socialize young growing dogs. You won't be able to show your dogs until they are 6mths old but ringcraft gives you a great grounding for your first shows and will get your dogs used to being handled by strangers. You will also hopefully meet other staffy owners and be able to watch and learn from them and ask for advice. I suggest you go to a couple of shows open or champ shows and watch how your breed is handled in the ring. In the mean time spend a couple of minutes each day running your hands over your dogs and checking their teeth too get them accustomed to being handled and don't forget their private parts too as many judges will check a dog has his bits:eek: My breed is English Bull terriers but I know that staffys are shown front on (facing the judge) and that they are show with a leather collar and lead usually quite ornate with bras studs. You should also join the staffy breed club as this is where you will be able to watch the cream in your breed and hopefully pick up some great tips and meeet some new friends. Hope this helps, Clare

I know it sounds a stupid thing to say but make sure the pups are both KC registered and that they have been transferred into your name :)
