AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT TO MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER CLUB OF AMERICA - Sept. 11, 1958






The Constitution of the Staffordshire Terrier Club of America says: "The object of this Club shall be to encourage the breeding of purebred Staffordshire Terriers, more commonly know in this country as "Yankee Terriers" or "American Pit Bullterriers"; to develop and bring to perfection their naturally high qualities;...." Please note that our Constitution recognizes that the Staffordshire Terrier and the American Pit Bullterrier as one and the same. Also, that one of the objects of the club is to develop and bring to perfection their NATURALLY high qualities. The American Pit Bullterrier is one of the oldest American Breeds. It was popular in this country before either the United Kennel Club or American Kennel Club was founded. A hundred years ago my grandfather referred to it as Brindle Bull dog; as such it was the foundation stock of the Boston Terrier. Fifty years ago when I first became acquainted with the breed it was known as the American Bull Terrier. This name was popularly adopted to distinguish it from the then recently imported (white, English) Bullterrier which had been developed by crossing the English prototype of our breed with an all-white English Terrier about 1860. Later the UKC inserted the word "Pit" into the name and my first registered dog was a Pit Bull Terrier. Still later the AKC classified them as Staffordshire Terriers. Throughout its history, regardless of its name, the naturally high qualities which it is the object of the Parent Club to develop and bring to perfection, have been typical of the breed. During the past 22 years we have tried to breed the best traditional type. The physical characteristics of this type as expressed in our official Standard were set by over a century and a half of selective breeding for the perfect Pit dog. The temperamental characteristics were set by untold centuries of selective breeding for a trustworthy guard dog and companion. The Staffordshire Terrier is not a new breed. If it is purebred all its ancestors a few generations back were American Pit Bullterriers, and all of its characteristics should be typical of the "natural high qualities" of the American Pit Bullterrier. The name Staffordshire Terrier is of recent origin. When the American Kennel Club decided to recognize our breed they already had a breed registered simply as "Bullterrier" with a parent club known as the "Bullterrier Club of America". Any combination of American and Bullterrier was thought to be confusing. THE NEW NAME WAS NEVER INTENDED TO INDICATE A NEW BREED. (emphasis present in letter as written) During the negotiations for recognition our people encountered considerable opposition, chiefly from the well entrenched Bullterrier group. It was claimed that our breed, the American Pit Bullterrier, was vicious and mean, suitable only for pit fighting, unreliable and not a fit companion of man or beast. After considerable work involving countless hours of conference and research our people were able to persuade the AKC that the American Pit Bullterrier was a loyal and affectionate companion, fit to be accepted into the best human and canine society. In the past several months this smear campaign against our breed has been resumed. This time it is being carried on by "Staffordshire Terrier people". Although they cannot deny that only a few generations back all our stock was UKC registered American Pit Bullterriers, they seem to think they can increase the popularity of our breed by claiming American Pit Bullterriers are vicious, have to be fed through a heavy wire fence with longhandled shovels, etc. One kennel advertising in a dog magazine says that their kennel "added a quality that is indispensable if a dog is to be a companion and make his home with his master rather than to be chained to awaiting his death in the pits". This they have done in about 15 years, having bred a few generations? Teddy Roosevelt, who owned and loved one of our dogs for its loyal companionship before these people were born would say "Bosh!" Another "friend" who is more vitriolic started out to buy a bullterrier two years ago and ended up with a Staf. Since then he has become an expert on the breed and its bloodlines. None of the enemies of our breed were ever so vicious in their attacks on it. His diatribes are filled with references to neurotic, escapee(s) from the couch and denunciations of UKC registered dogs. I wonder how he would classify himself if in his truthseeking he learned that both the sire and dam of his dogs are registered with UKC as American Pit Bullterriers. I have a Staffordshire Terrier - American Pit Bullterrier who talks. The other night, before he started his supper, he bowed his head and I heard him say: "Protect me from my friends, I can protect myself from my enemies."

FACTS FOR THE RECORD by Howard M. Hadley
From the Staffordshire Standard-Bearer, Vol. 1, No. 12, 1958

FACTS FOR THE RECORD
by Howard M. Hadley

The Staffordshire Terrier Cub of America was organized at the Morris & Essex Show, May 23, 1936, as the 1936 National Parent Club for the Staffordshire Terrier. A Standard was adopted at this meeting and approved by the Board of Directors of the American Kennel Club, June 10, 1936. This Standard is almost as compiled by Will Judy, Editor of Dog World, for the Yankee Terrier. A resolution was adopted by the Staffordshire Terrier Club of America making Mr. Judy a life member and Honorary Vice President, in recognition of his years of effort in promoting the interests of the (Yankee) Staffordshire Terrier. It is well to note here that the Standard for the American (Pit) Bull Terrier, as approved by the United Kennel Club, 1936, describes accurately the TRUE Staffordshire of today. The principal difference between Standards being color with the UKC listing any color or marking permissible. New Fanciers should know the truth - and that is: ONLY THE NAME OF THE DOG WAS CHANGED - from American (Pit) Bull Terrier or Yankee Terrier, to Staffordshire Terrier.

First registrations under the name Staffordshire Terrier are found in the Stud Book for August 1936. The AKC ordinarily requires both the sire and dam of the litter or individual dog to be registered before their get can be registered. When the Stud Book was opened to our breed, some concessions had to be made and some means of verifying correctness of breeding, as shown on applications for registration, had to be found. The AKC agreed to consider applications if they were first approved by a committee from the Staffordshire Terrier Club of America. UKC pedigrees covering 3 generations were included with each application and if certified by the Club President, they were accepted by the AKC. It is a requirement of the AKC that to register an individual dog, the litter of which he was one must first be registered. Here the breeder's signature had to be obtained and often caused great difficulty and much correspondence. Beginning in January 1942, the AKC granted special registration privileges. Any Staffordshire could be registered regardless of age without first registering the litter. Breeders and fanciers were notified that applications should be cleared before June 30, 1942. This closing date was extended from time to time, but a few years ago the AKC Stud Book was finally closed to new registrations where sire and dam were not registered. Unfortunately, far too many of the old-time breeders refused to register their stock, the main reason being dislike of the name "Staffordshire".

Here are ALL AKC Staffordshire Terrier registrations from June 10, 1936 through 1957 - ranking in order of registration and total registered each year... It should be noted that the rank which each breed holds is not necessarily a true index of popularity. In some breeds (Staffordshires) the number of unregistered dogs is very high.

Year Rank Registrations
1936 59 66
1937 67 52
1938 56 88
1939 56 108
1940 49 136
1941 43 179
1942 41 207
1943 40 164
1944 49 105
1945 - 139
1946 54 199
1947 57 187
1948 57 200
1949 64 137
1950 55 204
1951 61 131
1952 59 164
1953 70 124
1954 70 121
1955 77 104
1956 76 108
1957 79 101

22-Year Total 3024

The record shows that Staffordshire registrations (AKC) have dropped 50% in 8 years, 1950-58. Staffs entered in shows (California only), 1953-57 inclusive: Listed, 422 registered, 105.
