Sublime Staffords
Meet the breeder
I'm Tina V., the breeder behind Sublime Staffords located in Olivehurst, CA. My goal is to produce top quality dogs, sound in mind and body, who are able to excel at any task, the most important, of course, being a cherished family member. My dogs are health tested and compete in a wide range of activities, from Conformation, to Nose Work, Barn Hunt etc.
Q. & A. with Tina
Why did you start breeding?
Strangely enough, I came from a rescue, where I grew disillusioned and saddened by the health and temperament issues which seemed to be increasing. Temperament IS a trait that must be bred to be maintained. I obtained my first conscientiously bred purebred 7 years ago and now work closely with the breeder, my mentor, to preserve the breed by producing health tested temperamentally sound pups.What makes your program special?
My goal is not just to produce puppies from health tested and titled parents, and to preserve the breed by careful pedigree analysis, breeding to meet the standard but to also rear puppies who will be solid, social companions, up for any adventure. Everyone deserves a dog who is a joy to live with.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Pepper
Pepper is literally the easiest dog to live with. She is down for adventure, but she loves cuddling on the couch. She has shown successfully, but her real jam is Nose Work, which she loves. She has multiple titles in both AKC and NASCW. Pepper is fully health tested and has her CHIC number.

Excellent level
Sublime Staffords reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Staffordshire Bull Terriers.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria (L2HGA), Staffordshire Bull Terrier Type, Hereditary (Juvenile) Cataracts (HC; JC), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
