I / We shall maintain a high standard of health and care for all dogs under my/our protection ensuring that they are properly housed, fed, watered and exercised. They will receive regular attention in relation to worming and immunisation, and proper veterinary treatment, if necessary, in the case of illness, accident, or emergency.

I / We will not allow any dog under my/our care to roam at large and when exercising ensure that they are either fully leashed or under effective control at all times.

I / We will endeavour to only breed to produce sound, healthy stock which will be a credit to the breed. I/We will be honest in my/our dealings with buyers and fellow breeders and endeavour to co-operate towards a programme of improvement for the breed.

I / We will only breed from those dogs and bitches believed to be clear from painful hereditary faults, and are of sound Stafford temperament as defined in the Breed Standard.

I / We will only breed from mature, healthy dogs and bitches, conscientiously planning each litter. Bitches will not be used for breeding before they are eighteen months old, and thereafter not more than once in any twelve-month period. If it should be necessary to breed from a bitch twice within twelve months she will be rested for at least three seasons or two years, whichever is the sooner.

I / We will be satisfied as to the suitability of the breeding of any bitch to which my/our stud dog is mated, and the conditions under which the resulting litter will be reared.

I / We shall not allow any of my/our pure-bred, registered dogs to be mated to any dog of a different breed, to a cross-bred dog or to an unregistered dog of the same breed.

I / We will keep suitable records of breedings, sales and registrations, and shall endeavour to give a true and realistic description of stock, especially as to the potential of young stock, in case I / we should inadvertently imply guaranteed show success.

I / We will only sell puppies which to the best of my/our knowledge are of good health and temperament and are at least seven weeks old, weaned and fully independent of the mother. 

I / We will provide a satisfactory diet sheet, health record and details of worming, or suitable publications relating to those requirements and responsible ownership. Any dog sold or transferred over the age of twenty weeks will be fully inoculated.

I / We shall not sell dogs or puppies to any commercial dealer, agent , pet shop or laboratory or allow my/our stock to be directly or indirectly become raffle or competition prizes. Nor shall I allow my stud dog to be mated knowing that the resulting stock will be disposed of in any of the foregoing ways.

I / We shall, whenever possible, advertise stock through the channels available to the breed, i.e. Newsletters, Show schedules and magazines, or through the canine press.

I / We shall ensure that people acquiring a Staffordshire Bull Terrier from me/us understand their responsibility in the care and welfare of the dog, and that they have the time and facilities to perform those responsibilities.

I / We will provide Kennel Club Registration or application for registration and a signed pedigree showing at least three generations for each dog or puppy sold. If registration is withheld it must be with written mutual agreement.

I / We will read and familiarise myself/ourselves with the Kennel Club standard for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

I / We will share aid and information with those interested in the breed, encourage sportsman-like conduct in all competitions, and will not deliberately libel or slander another person or make vicious comments on another's stock.
