SBTCA Presents – The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Breed Specific Exam – NEW VIDEO!

The Stafford Feet – Foundation to all Movement

Feet are well padded with strong pasterns. Feet should be tight, and toes short, but not to the point of being a ‘cat foot.’

There should be no sign of weakness.

Remember the standard says the “feet turn out a little.”

Keeping in mind we have an active, athletic breed. Thin, flat or splayed feet are very undesirable, as the foundation to all movement is weakened. Considering again the breed’s original function, all parts of the Stafford should be able to hold up to forces equaling several times his own weight.

Look for short black nails in solid-colored dogs. Where a dog has white toes you can expect translucent nails.
