Simastaff

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Meet Mattias and Simona, who run kennel Simastaff, the kennel that breeds Staffordshire bull terriers in Rättelöv outside Hässleholm. The breeding is done on a small scale to make sure the dogs are well and that the puppies get the right foundation in life, which also includes the right food. Since they switched to Petgood, Mattias and Simona have noticed that the dogs' coats have improved, and a healthy coat reflects that the dog is well on the inside too.

A breed full of love for life

It is completely impossible not to smile when you meet a staffie! These energetic dogs are full of love for life and a humour that spreads to everyone they meet - and they are at their happiest when they get to be part of everything that happens, no matter what it is. Mattias and Simona have run their small kennel Simastaff for just over a year, after seven years with the Staffordshire bull terrier breed. It is a powerful but easy-to-handle breed that happily joins in with most of what the owner wants to do, whether it is nosework, rally obedience or agility.

At kennel Simastaff in Skåne, five staffies are part of the family: one male and four females. One of the dogs is the kennel's own breeding - the female Skye, who was one of seven puppies in the first litter. When the first litter is about to move away from home, it is of course a special moment for a breeder:

"It is important to us that they end up with the right owner and we always want to meet the new dog owners they are going to move in with. We want them to be active dog owners who want to bring the dog along on all the fun activities the family does. It is important for a staffie to be included, no matter what it is."

Healthy dogs from the ground up

To give healthy and happy dogs that can enjoy life with their new families, Mattias and Simona are careful with the dogs' health tests - both the mental and physical examinations and tests that need to be carried out. Breeding healthy dogs also gives security to the new buyers. The breeding is done on a small scale to make sure the dogs are well and that the puppies get the right foundation in life. They came into contact with Petgood just over half a year ago, and since then the whole pack has been on the food.

"We think it works excellently and we see an improvement in the dogs' coats. Previously they were a bit dull in the coat, but now they have lovely and shiny coats, like freshly showered every day! A healthy coat reflects that the dog is also healthy on the inside."

The Petgood team is so happy that Simastaff is one of the kennels in our breeder club, and we look forward to future litters and to seeing more of the staffies Chili, Simba, Skye, Bea and Hera - and all their wonderful antics!
