Staffordshire Bull Terrier - STAFFORD HEALTH SURVEY - for the betterment of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of the USA

Health Information Committee

Dear Stafford owner:

The SBTC/USA's Health Information Committee is conducting an ongoing survey into the health of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier breed of dog. Our aim is to identify health "problems" in the breed and then to work to make the lives of every Stafford longer and healthier.

The Committee would like for you to complete this health survey form. Any amount of information that you can provide would be appreciated.

You will notice that we have listed a lot of different conditions that MAY occur. If your dog has had any of them, select the box and select "Yes" instead of the default "No". Then fill in the age of the dog when the condition developed. If the dog did NOT have a condition, skip to the next question.

If your dog has had none of the problems listed, we would still like to have the survey completed. Good health is good news!

If your dog is no longer living, please fill out as much of the survey as you can. The general health of the dog and the age and cause of death are important pieces of information.

Your help in filling out this survey will be an important part of assuring Stafford owners of the future that their dogs will have long and healthy lives.

On behalf of the breed and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of the USA, we thank you for your participation in this project.

If you would like more information about the SBTC/USA Health Committee or if you have health concerns about your Stafford that you would like to discuss, send an email to sstone@pvtnetworks.net .
