Staffy Walk is Saturday July 4th
OOOOOPPPPPs, We made a misprint.
Please note that the Staffybull walk is actually Saturday July 4th. The original post said it was on the Sunday.
Bring your sunscreen and lots of water. May be good to bring your own shade, it's a hot park.
Here's a couple new pics since I'm posting anyways!!

Official letter from organizers:
Dear Staffys and Staffy Parents:
It has been 30 years since the first Annual Staffordshire Bull Terrier Walk, organized by John and Darci Swinton, took place in Vancouver!
On July 4th, 2015, at 12 NOON, we will begin a new decade of celebrating our special breed. It all takes place at ALEX HOPE PARK, in sunny Langley, B.C. There is on street parking as well as a parking lot adjacent to the park/school. We’ll be meeting at the northwest corner of the park at 212th St. and Telegraph St. (look for our banner).
Bring your family, friends and any pictures from past walks with you, for all to share. We are planning to have hot dogs, pop, and chips available for lunch, but feel free to bring your own lunch if you wish.
Also, don't forget to bring a leash, license, water, and plenty of plastic bags for clean-up. We want to keep our parks clean and set a good example for our breed. You may also want to bring a kennel, just to give your arm a rest from all the pulling. If it rains, the event is still on - just bring your umbrella and galoshes!
To commemorate this event, all participating staffys will receive a personalized souvenir certificate indicating that they have attended the 30th Annual Staffordshire Bull Terrier Walk !!
We will also be having a prize raffle. If you are able to donate raffle items, please bring them along. They would be most appreciated as the proceeds go to offset costs and the remainder will be donated for the Staffy defense fund in Ontario (for those of you who aren’t aware, this province has banned our breed along with others). We will also be having a silent auction. Let’s start the bidding !!!
If anyone thinks they can help with organizing some special staffy activities (obedience, agility, games, etc.) or if you require more information, please let us know. Thanks, and see you there! Invite your family and friends and have a staffordly good time. WOW, 30 YEARS !!!
Staffordly yours,
John & Darci

Puppy post-partum
Feeling like our house has been empty these past few days without the puppies around! Friday afternoon had most of the pups get picked up by their happy new owners and ended up with an impromptu going away party, with family & friends stopping by for one last snuggle. Our good friend Mike Babiarz (aka Babz) came over to take some photos and posted them up on Flickr.... we love them!! Our hearts feel so full to see how big & healthy the pups are. And a treat that Simba (Beans' stud) was a part of the fun as well!
Please credit Mike Babz if you share these great photos anywhere, see full set here:
We're definitely missing them, but it's awesome to be able to follow their new lives via Instagram! Social media has it's perks... check out #strathconastaffys or #strathconastaffybulls

One week left!
Wow, the days are flying by! All the puppies have great new homes they'll be going to next week! Only one more week with these sweet babes at our place... it's bittersweet since we have so much fun with them, but can't say we're not looking forward to not having to spend hours everyday cleaning up & feeding these rowdies lol ;)
Also, thank you to all the new inquiries we've received over the past few weeks... we breed one litter a year in our family home, so will not be having any more puppies until next year. We do have contacts with other Staffordshire Bull Terrier breeders in the Pacific Northwest that we can provide to you if interested.
Since it's been a while since we posted, here are a bunch of photos & a few vid's for a dose of cute in your day. We've been having the pups run around and play on the back deck on sunny days... they love it!!
