Staffordshire Bull Terriers

Jenny and Dana Merritt

Breeding, Showing, and Having Fun with Staffords since 1969

In the beginning... our introduction to Staffords was at the home of Larry and Lillian Rant (Silverlake) in Los Angeles. Along with the Rants we also met Steve Stone. That day we had the good fortune to take home a very promising puppy, Constables Billy Club of Silverlake, bred by the Rants and the Levins.

While there we were tricked into taking home the cutest little rescue girl, Reynan Jemima, "Midge"

Somehow this beginning led to 60 home-bred Champions, along with a lifetime full of fun and great people.

And so it began...

Stay tuned for 0 to 60.

Trugrip honors the wonderful Staffords, co-breeders, and the owners as we update our page featuring all 60 of our Champions to date, along some great dogs who never competed for awards.

We're still the one, 'cause we're still having fun!
