The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Story (the first Stafford e-book on dvd in pdf format): Dedicated to the memory of John F. Gordon whose books opened the world of Staffords to thousands and whose exports were instrumental in founding the Breed not only in Australia, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States but in a dozen other countries. No other person did so much to make the Stafford a truly global breed.
The above is from the dedication page in the e-book. What I have done here is collect together the 206 photos from Steve's e-book so that more Stafford enthusiasts have access to these photos. Many are from John F. Gordon's personal photo albums. But sources are listed for all of the photos. I have tried to find copies of this dvd but they seem to be very rare. So enjoy the photos.
And, several of these photos can be seen in Steve's book "Celebrating Staffordshire Bull Terriers" but not all. So, between all of these pages you will find a large collection of photos that are at least rare, and with some commentary that my be instructive.
