Hi there, nice sigpic. I have never heard of them having problems in whelping like Bulldogs, Bostons, etc. I would kinda ask my vet about that as they have on record maybe of whelping issues rather than on here.? Is your dog at least 2 years old before breeding, have you got OFA hips n elbows certified?

OFA certificate or prelim
• PennHIP certificate
• OVC certificate
• OFA certificate
• heart clearance by a Canine Cardiologist
• Cardiac Clearance
• Thyroid Clearance
• Addison's Disease
These are things that should be done so you can sell quality puppies you know should be healthy. Regardless a warranty should be given as a gene far back can and will slip through, so if your going to ask a good price and you should, you offer warrantys on these things known in the breed. also, it is wise to give a years health warranty also. Just food for thought for you to consider as just breeding because is not right, it takes money to make any and takes years before you actually make a few bucks. Good luck and hope this helps you some.:)

A good place to find the answer to your question would be your local breed or kennel club. ;)

I do not know about Staffies but APBT's & AmStaffs are free whelpers in most cases.
