Welcome to Kernewekglas, we are a family  that  enjoy's   raising,  breeding and showing as a hobby ,and we live  in the South West  of  England, we take  pride in the fact that we are able to provide our staffordshire bull terriers, minature bull terrier and a British bulldog  with access to a playground that consists of miles and miles of  breathtaking  natural sernery that Cornwall has to  has to offer, from beautful beaches and sand dunes to wonderful woods and wide open fields. Our dogs experience and enjoy just about every landscape nature has to offer.

Here at Kernewekglas  Max  Poppie  Bella Marley Lily and  Sky now retired are considered the "family pet" and are very well socialsied with both  people and other dogs, this means that that we can walk any one of our dogs in a public place without the fear of them lashing out. While aggressive bull breeds do  exist, we believe that at least 90% of their temperment is based on how they are raised.

We show our dogs in Companion Dog  shows  and Fun Dog Show  and we try to attend   The Devon & Cornwall Staffordshire Bull Terrier Ringcraft club at Leigham Community Hall Plymouth .
The  Kennel Club  has given their  permission to  the The Devon & Cornwall Staffordshire Bull Terrier Ringcraft club to socialise & train ALL bullbreeds!!   http://www.freewebs.com/dcsbt/index.htm

The Companion Dog Show (formerly known as the Exemption Show) is not the same thing as a “Fun Dog Show”. Companion shows are Kennel Club Licensed events, held under Kennel Club rules and regulations.the Companion Dog Show provides an excellent training and socialisation ground for the dogs and its a  really enjoyable day out for everyone, and with charities benefiting financially as well

Bit about the breeds ,The Staffordshire Bull Terrier appeared in the top 10 breeds most suitable for families and especially children in a report researched and published by Southampton University in 1996. This breed is highly intelligent, eager to please and very people friendly. It adapts readily to most situations making it the foremost all purpose dog. Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppies are very easy to house train
Although individual differences in personality exist, common traits exist throughout the Staffords. Due to its breeding, the modern dog is known for its character of indomitable courage, high intelligence, and tenacity. This, coupled with its affection for its friends, and children in particular, its off-duty quietness and trustworthy stability, makes it a foremost all-purpose dog

The British Bulldog  Some people are intimidated by the physical appearance of the Bulldog. They should not be as bulldogs are affectionate, gentle, good natured, friendly and loyal dogs. They adore children making them excellent family pets. They will get along well with dogs and non canine animals. They do not like to be left alone for too long as they crave human attention. It is thought that bulldogs are not very intelligent, this not true. They are intelligent, it is just they would prefer to be cuddled rather than learn a new trick or two. Bulldogs can be lazy and quite stubborn, it is at these times their intelligence shines through. They always know how to get their own way, or get you to help them do something e.g. helping them on to the sofa. All they do is give you that sad look to make you feel guilty, and bingo, they have got what they wanted. Bulldogs are known for their human like quality. Their wrinkly faces give away so much expression. Bulldog owners will tell you that they nearly always know what their bulldog is thinking!

Like the Standard Bull Terriers, Mininature bull terriers  are loving and, like many  terrier  breeds, can be stubborn at times; but despite this they make great dogs for people with limited space.Bull Terriers are known to be stubborn and courageous. They don't seem to realize their size, however, because even if confronting an enormous dog they will not back down. However, with the right training, confrontations can be avoided. This characteristic does not change in the Miniatures. Some people think that Miniature Bull Terriers are practically a different dog, but one must realize that they are the same dogs, just smaller. They are very energetic and playful. They love people, but often don't get along with other pets. They are variable around other dogs, and young children must be warned to treat them carefully

                                                               URATE STONES -URICACID EXCRETION 
                                                          (CANINE HYPERURICOSURIA) 
  



What are Urate Stones?

Hyperuricosuria means elevated levels of uric acid in the urine. This trait predisposesdogs to form sfones in their bladders or sometimes kidneys. These sfones often must be removed surgically and can be difficult to treat. Hyperuricosuria is inherited as a simple autosomal recessivetrait. The trait can occur in any breed but is most commonly found in the Dalmatian, Bulldog and Black Russian Terrier.

Symptoms

Urate stones may cause blood in the urine (hematuria) (giving the appearancethat the animal is urinating blood) but sometimes there may be no signs at all. Painful urination or straining to urinate are other signs.
Urinary tract infections are commonly assocrated with bladder stones. Smaller stones may become lodged in the urethra, especially in male animals, causing urinary tract obstruction and the inability to urinate.
This condition causes acute renalfailure, hyperkalemia, septicemia,and death within a few days.

What canwe do to preventthis?

We can have our dogs geneticallytested by the Animal Health Trust. This is done by a cheek swab that is senf out to you, it is a painlessand non-invasive method and only takes a minute to do. Resu/fs should be
back within a couple of weeks. They will let you know if your dog is effected or not with this painful condition.
