Staffordshire Bull Terrier - Stafford Exchange - Early-day Stafford Nostalgia II.

		This is a really interesting picture: Bandits Brillanda, an English Stafford bitch with cropped ears, born 1960 and imported by Claude Williams of Ashton, Maryland. This is the only photo I have ever seen of a cropped Stafford -- and hope it remains the only one I will ever see.

		Laurence and Lillian Rant's beloved "Charliegirl," Bearcats Bellamour by Bandits Firestreak Red Rover ex Bandits Belle-lettres. (Bellamour is a famous estate in Staffordshire, England.) Photograph at two years after her first litter but before she was fully mature.

		Casual snapshot of Margot of Rossisle (by Ch. Chestonion Campaign ex Ch. Marjorie's Choice) in Pasadena, taken when she was five after being imported as an adult. Aside from a "flush" mouth (where the upper and lower incisors meet), Margo was hard to fault as her two Reserve CC's in England prove. (Slight graying at the muzzle.)

		Snapshot of Bearcats Belle Beguile (by Bandits Firestreak Red Rover ex Towans Lady Penelope) at the age of seven months, owned by Bob Lee of Sutherlin, Oregon. I later brought a dog puppy, Maori Chief, back from England as "excess baggage" (!) on the airplane, selected especially by John Gordon to cross with Beguile. At the time Penelope was owned by my brother Douglas Stone.

		Bandits Golden Shot, imported from John Gordon by Sam Farris of Adamsville, Alabama, Polaroid snapshot taken June 2, 1969, when the dog was almost a year old. I regret that I never had the chance to see this dog in the flesh as he seemed quite promising at that age.
