FOREWORD

 
The Stafford Exchange :

History has shaped the Staffordshire Bull Terrier into an incomparable creature, and history still functions as a vital element within the Breed. An integral part of that history exists on these web pages for all to share.

The Stafford Exchange, an original concept in cyber-publications, has been created to help preserve the American history of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier for one reason: it's easier to know where you're going when you know where you've been. Nomenclature aside (archive, repository, anthology), The Stafford Exchange manifests itself as something between a pamphlet and a volume but definitely not as a periodical. It has no deadlines, for what is published now does not vanish tomorrow but remains while the site grows and changes for as long as contributors keep it going.
 
Although The Stafford Exchange does contain an element of nostalgia, it should prove a practical and useful resource/reference to those who devote a corner of their lives to this fine Breed and hope to see it thrive in the future.
 
We invite and welcome your contributions. Please submit material, text or graphics or both, by contacting Editor Steve Stone at: sstone@pvtnetworks.net.
