Ivy is from the much anticipated union between Seighford Ellava Diva "Ella" & South African Champion Eukleia Aurora Sparkle of Sivhana "Bandit".
Now that she has attained her Australian Champion title, to the best of our belief she becomes the first Australian Champion Staffordshire Bull Terrier sired by a South African Champion. Our sincere thanks go to Lourens ten Napel and Eurika van Heereden for allowing us to use Bandit at stud and congratulations to him in enhancing his own profile through Ivy's successes in the ring.
2018 was Ivy's last year in the show ring completing her Grand Champion title during the year. she is now enjoying a well earned retirement in the home of our daughter, Bethanee who absolutely idolise each other.

A very compact black brindle with white markings on her chest and feet, very good head shape, with small neat ears, short strong neck leading onto correct shoulder placement, well boned straight front, her feet are nice and tight, nice and short in the coupling, good muscle tone to the hindquarters. Moved and handled well. I wish you all the best with her in the future.

Mr Laurie Ford (UK) "Blitstaff" 8th March 2014
~ PUPPY IN SHOW ~
Demanded attention at all times. This girl appears to thrive in the show ring. Typical Stafford head, clean with strength and depth, short neck into first class front assembly, well ribbed to strong loin, hindquarters muscled and angled. Her dark brindle coat glistened in the sun as she moved freely across the ring.
