Hello Bina,can you help me to find a staffie,ideally i would like a bitch and a male.I just lost my boy,he was five and the sunshine in my life.A cobra bit him and he died in twenty minutes in my arms.I am a lost soul without him.Ian McInnes,phone no private emails and phones; members can PM the OP.

well im in israel so cant help frankly; dont remember how many staffies there are on the forum but there are a few... u can try also the bull terrier folks perhaps they can help u; also the dog rescue groups, perhaps there is a staffie or staffie mix there (also, in thailand as in other countries, anything that looks remotely like a pit bull gets called pit bull, so check the dogs that are listed as pit bull or pit bull mixes in the dog rescue places. u just might find a staffie.)

and do a search thru again, there were a few staffie posts here. and scan out the pinned topic above for dog shows that mangoto (retired vet from OZ) pins up. he keeps track of all breed shows in thailand so u might go to a show to find a breeder.

Hello Jim, I am Ian McInnes,i just lost my best friend Reggie,he was a brindle staffie just like yours,a fckin snake bit him.I can not think of my life without a staffie,did you manage to breed your bitch.Do you know anywhere i can get another .We brought Reggie with us from the U.K. three years ago,he was the best friend a man could get.I am so lost without him.My phone number is pm the OP

why in this day of technology is anyone walking around with the thick end of 75,000 baht in his pocket?was he looking for a lady boy to steal it from him? It for sure was his first time in Phuket,he was lucky(or stupid)that he made it all the way to the bank without some smiling Thai relieving him of his hard forged money.Tough luck,be more aware and wise up!!!

Hi Everyone

I am currently on holiday in England and I've seriously been considering bringing two staffordshire bull terriers back to Thailand with me. And from all the websites I visited it seemed as though their aren't usually many problems. But I've just called Airpets and they tell me they are a banned breed in Thailand and I called Hull Thai Consulate and they also told me they might be banned but I can try to apply for an import permit. I know you can buy the American and English bull terriers in Thailand, so I'm assuming that like many things in Thailand there must be a way to get them in.

Does anyone have any information on this topic? or any phone numbers of places I can call to find out if I can bring Stafordshires bull terriers to Thailand?

I appreciate any information or advice you might have.

I really can't see why Staffordshire bull terriers would be banned when Rottweilers aren't. They probaly just fall under the same category as pitbulls. If this is why then it's a dam shame.

Thanks

Hi Missy,

I moved lock stock and barrel to Thailand three years ago and brought my Staffie with me.Its not easy though.

As with everything in Thailand,money talks!!

When we decided to move i started to look into the import license you require to bring your dog to Thailand.First I e mailed the relevant office to apply for import license.no reply!! many times,no reply.Tghen I hired a lawyer to apply the office on my behalf,he sent someone to the office and came back with the answer 'this breed is banned'!To my utter horror we had to leave my best friend behind.We came to Thailand and left our dog with my son.

After we had been here 6 weeks,two over size parcels arrived in Bangkok.I had to personally go to collect and decided to try again in person for this import license.Everything was going great until I came for the final stamp when I was again informed that my dog was banned.Fortunately(or planned)the officer from the dept where i collected my parcels was the same officer who helped me with the application for import license and had escorted me to the import office.On hearing the 'your dog is banned 'declaration,he swiftly informed me that if I gave him money for a phone call he would 'try and get my license.I left 500 baht and went to catch the bus back with my parcels to Koh Phangan,before i got on the bus i received a call telling me to return to the office and collect my import license!! This I did.To my delight I got my license and parted with a further 2000 baht.Happy!!!

After sending all the relevant paper work back to the U.K. and arranging everything,my dog came a few weeks later(1200 quid for his flights from Scotland,he must of come first class).So it was back,again to Bangkok to collect him.On arrival i was given a laminated piece of paper with every breed you can imagine listed.I selected my dog with a daily quarantine price against it,a quick calculation followed where the thai official banged in some numbers on the calculator ,added his birthdate in,a new bike for his daughter,and came up with the figure of 32,000 baht!! a big number,but i would have paid anything to get my boy here.

So I left the commercial parcels offices with my dog,skint but ecstatic.

If all this was not enough,when i went to book him on a flight from Bangkok to Samui,which I of course had all the paper work ,him having arrived from the U.K.I was told he had to have a sleeping draught.I refuted this as he had travelled all the way to Bankok without anything,and sedatives are not good for animals tavelling under pressurised conditions.The staff would not allow my dog to travel without.After consulting what i had to give him,it was decided that Benelin for kids was adequate,LOL,So off to the pharmacy,it said on the bottle that it could cause drowsiness and my dog should not operate machinery,I figured that unless they asked him to fly the palne he should be okay.My dog lapped up two big spoonfulls,it was sweet,and barked the whole way to Samui,but at least he didnt have a cough or bad chest!!!

Now he is here and having the best time,beach every morning and master of his patch.

The moral is,go in person to the office,be humble,dont argue and hand over some money.
