The average price for a NZKC registered puppy is

Colour and Sex DO NOT determine the price of the puppy. There is no such thing as a rare colour. Acceptable colours in the breed include Red, fawn, white, black or blue, or any of these colours with white. Any shade of brindle or any shade of brindle with white. Black & tan or liver colour highly undesirable. Although liver and black & tan are unsuitable for showing and breeding, they still make wonderful pets.

Both parents must be NZKC registered.

The breeder must also be a financial member of the NZKC and have a NZKC approved breeders prefix (eg: kennel name).

When purchasing your puppy, make sure you receive the puppy's NZKC papers at the time of purchase.

Look for plump, bright eyed, active puppies in clean surroundings.

Make sure the puppies have been fully wormed and vaccinated and that they are 8 weeks of age before leaving for their new homes.

Should NZKC papers not be provided at the time of picking up your puppy, ensure you receive a receipt for "pure bred NZKC registered Staffordshire Bull Terrier". The receipt should include the sellers full name, contact details and NZKC membership number.

Remember that there are a lot of people out there trying to make money by breeding dogs. These people don't put the welfare of the puppies first and foremost. You want to find a responsible breeder that puts a lot of time and effort into raising their puppies. You will be more likely to get yourself a healthier, more well adjusted puppy if you look for a responsible breeder. This will however take time and patience.
