It begins in 1964 when I was just married and we were having our house built and this little red dog needed a home as his owner was going to New Guinea to teach. Three month old Brutus came into our lives. He was a little stafford who really should not have survived, but he did. He was born with a harelip and a cleft palate. Brutus lived for 13 years and he was our real introduction to the breed. In 1968 I decided to go into showing and eventually breeding. Back then staffords were rare in Australia (things have certainly changed). I obtained my first bitch CH. KILLIBINBIN STAR GIRL from the Eling's in South Australia as a three month old pup. They were hard to sell in those days. Bess, as we named her is my foundation bitch and I am proud to say ALL Borstaff stock has her in there pedigree. The rest of my story is history. I have been very lucky and have achieved a lot in my years with staffords. With a record hard to beat at specialty shows, with 10 BEST in SHOW awards and at least 18 Runner Up BEST in Show or Opposite Sex in Show. Winning Bitch Challenge with CH.
