These next five (5) photos from The SBT Story are not individually captioned but are under a general description as follows (I wrote the captions):
"Down On The Farm... For almost two centuries Staffords and their forebears have served loyally and well as farm dogs, herding sheep, driving cattle, protecting the family, yet finding photographs of them at work seems nearly impossible. After months of assiduous searching on several continents, Editor Jean Loughborough of The Stafford magazine, managed to locate some from (of all places) Merrie England itself. We shall let these photos (overleaf) of working farm Staffords speak for themselves."

From The SBT Story: "One of John Gordon’s six personal albums contains a Stafford family portrait taken by the late Thomas Fall who was the leading canine photographer of his day, revealing some genetic principles occurring in Stafford coat color. On the left is the sire, Ch Godfrey’s Pride, a self-colored all-white with black-brindle head markings. In the center is the dam, Ch Della of Impkin, a self-colored fawn. On the right is their offspring, Ch Godella’s Pride, a self-colored black-brindle with white markings."
