The history of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier

In the Black Country foundries and pits of the early nineteenth century, bull and terrier crosses were kept for work the law later ended. The breed that came out the other side was recognised by the Kennel Club in 1935, and the families who kept them had already spent a century selecting hard against any sharpness towards people, which is where the old nanny dog reputation comes from. A Stafford greets a visitor like an old debt being repaid: full body wag, tail against the skirting board, and the entire weight leaned into a shin. Ink in the plate follows the muscle across shoulder and chest, but the mouth is drawn open and easy, because a Stafford that is not smiling is not really a Stafford.

About the plate

Every plate in the archive is drawn from scratch as a natural-history engraving, the breed set in the country it was made for rather than floated on a white background. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is Archive No. 009. The drawing is printed as a full plate across the back of the garment, nothing on the front, and the same plate is used for the print and the cards.

Garments are made when they are ordered, so nothing is printed until it is wanted and nothing is held in a warehouse. UK orders are printed in the UK and North American orders in the USA, which keeps the parcel on the same side of the ocean as the person waiting for it. If it is not right when it arrives, it can go back within 30 days.
