staffies for sale south africa

Jakru Staffords, owned by Johan & Elizma Kruger , is situated on a property 5 km from the town of Upington, Northern Cape, on the Groblershoop Road. Our Green Kalahari region is known for its climatic extremes, breathtaking scenery, challenging 4×4 routes and unequalled hospitality.

My life-long dream of breeding started  two years ago when our Boerboel “Boesman” passed away.  At that stage I was interested in a medium-sized breed that shows affection towards children, especially as I am the proud father of our firstborn daughter, Lyla. We needed a breed that exhibits protective behaviour towards property, but also has a loving temperament to such an extent that I would never doubt my dog’s behaviour for one moment near my child.

After sourcing information, I decided that a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, known as the “Nanny Dog”, would fit in perfectly with my family. My wife, however, did not share the same opinion about such a smaller breed compared to the Boerboel.  After we had discussed the advantages of owning a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, she agreed and I contacted Deon and Machel van Niekerk of Demac Staffords. They are situated next to Witsand Nature Reserve and are reputable breeders in our vicinity.

We had a choice between two male puppies and we decided on the one named “Demac Bullet La Rey”.  It was love at first sight. Ever since he has been a pleasure to own and has certainly changed my wife’s opinion about the Staffordshire breed. We can truly say that we have never feared for one of our dogs to even moan or growl in the presence of our daughter. I promise you, she is a bundle of exhaustive energy and enjoys them as much as we do. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is your “nanny” dog if you are committed to devote your time and love to this breed. Do not be mistaken, this is a family dog and not a backyard accessory.

Our stud is built on the Richmax and Vangershire breeding lines. We introduced a bitch called “Lady” into our breeding stock – a bitch with a general appearance and body according to breed standards. She also descends from the Vangershire bloodline.

Recently we purchase another Demac bitch called “Demac Jewel”. With our breeding stock and dedication we strive to breed healthy dogs with loving, balanced temperaments that will be a pleasure to own.

Jakru Staffords is committed to take on the Staffie world, and we are only now starting to participate in national shows.
