The Pretoria Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club was
established during the second half of 1983 to address the needs of the
Staffordshire Bull Terrier breeder en admirer in the Pretoria area. The PSBTC is
registered with the Kennel Union of South Africa (KUSA). KUSA is the central
body for dog registrations in South Africa. The PSBTC also enjoy admiration from
several dog control bodies worldwide.
The club currently presents three shows per year which
consist of two open and one championship show in May. Our first license to
present a championship show was issued in 1985 from KUSA. This has become a
yearly event and we attract entries from all over the country as well as the odd
international entry. We previously had well over the 200 entries per show, and
we currently average entries of about 180.
The Club publishes three newsletters yearly as well as a
yearbook called “The Ring”. The Ring is world widely known and enjoys the
title as one of the best Staffordshire Bull Terrier publications in the dog
world.
We
believe that the PSBTC is one of the most dynamic specialist clubs in the dog
world.
The club has got members from over the whole of South Africa as well as the UK,
Europe, the USA and Australia.
The
PSBTC highly value the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and his history.
