He has an awesome temperament and loves people.

Wow, what a gorgeous boy, he is stunning

Oh my he is absolutely stunning wow

He is lovely. Dont like his ears, perfer their natural ears, but understand reasons for doing it (showing???).

Stunning boy, looks very happy.

Hes a cracker, thanks for sharing lovely pics x

It was a big decision as wether we would crop his ears, It's the only thing they can't get right with the breed.
It's very hard to find an Amstaff with good natural ears and they won't get anywhere in the show ring without a crop, you have to understand it's very natural for dogs to have cropped ears here in Spain.
It does give the dog a completely different look, one that I actually prefer.
His temperament is awesome, his love of people is second to none, playfull, funny, energetic, I have changed peoples views on this breed which I am very proud of, I have had staff bulls before and they are brilliant dogs, these are not just a bigger staff, similar but different if that makes sense?

He is gorgeous, I love the pic,s

cracking looking dog!
but I'm with Toni on the ears, to give an advantage in fighting or for human's aesthetic pleasure doesn't justify it for me.

Great work winning people over though, the reputation these dogs have is so far removed from what these dogs can actually offer, it is so frustrating!

Lovely Boy can i ask what height he is ?dont know if the standard is the same as for ours he looks bigger in the pics

He's absolutely lovely but we don't do the ears things over here and for me it actually spoils his look, here's Elsdon with his intact

BUT I'm not in Spain.............and they do look quite alike, so everyone to their own.

wow he is adorable and I want to cuddle him xx

@ Izzy, Red is 20" at the shoulders and weighs in @ 35 kg, different dog to the staff bull, I have all of his history going back 50 years, his father has been one of the best show dogs in the last 10 years.

@ Jananruby44, I can understand peoples view on the whole ear cropping thing, but you will struggle to find an Amstaff with good natural ears and if you do they are generally not rose ***** and totally out of proportion to the rest of the body. Cropping in certain areas is being banned, but the vets will still do it.
Dobys, Boxers all still have cropped ears, even my neighbours Scnauzer.
When you see dogs with cropped ears here all the time it just becomes normal.

I cant stop looking at your handsome pooch My OH loves him xxx

LOL Suziet, he is an awesome dog that's for sure, and he loves a cuddle.
Check out his father on the website www.helenstaff.com
His father is helens skymaster by rovelo ( drako ) he has other family members at the torrestaff website as well, you'll know which one's they are because they are all that lovely Red colour.

Ty he looks like a big baby who loves cuddles Does he go in your pool I take Clooney swimming when i can he loves it

Dad is gorgeous, took me a while to find him but I think I found him in the 2006 photos

That will be him, bowling ball head.....lol
and no he doesn't use the pool, but he goes in the sea and the river, work that one out.

Your Red Legend is a Gorgeous boy

How strange, but he is still gorgeous

If it's "the norm" over there then I do understand that, do you mind if I ask how they crop the ears? I'm just curious not criticising

hes a beaut
where abouts in spain are you ?
he wont go in the pool because of the chemicals used to keep it clean ?
( im guessing )
i also prefer none cropped ears

Hi Janand ruby, he went under anesthetic, the ears get pinned and marked out, then they are trimmed, he was in and out in a hour, the bandage came off the next day and finally the vet came to the house 2 weeks later to take the stitches out.
Lindauk, not sure why he won't swim in the pool, he has been in before but he's not keen on it, when we come out he tries to lick all of the drops off us,he and the cat drink from the pool all the time....lol.
I am glad you all like him, but I knew the ear crop would throw a few questions around, I'll post a couple of more pics up soon, we are in the north costa Blanca and before you all ask, yes it's still very hot ( up in the 30s) so early morning and late evening is when we go out for our walks.

Ohhhhhh 30 degrees I am on my way now

more pics please

Here's another couple of photos of him.

Its blowing a gale here and very cold, I know where I would rather be!

Red is stunning - great pics
