| The
Ruffian name was used for
the first time by Clayton
Harriman from Detroit, Michigan. Mr. Harriman's Ch.The
Ruffian was breed by F.C. Klump from
Plymouth Michigan. It was born from
Klump's Deuce and Klump's Dina and it was
give birth in 1938. The Ruffian was a
dog with white black stains, its
weight was 59 pounds.
Calamity Ann the female, from Mr. Harriman
too, was born from Schroeder's Jiggs e Sch roeder's
Kay. The mix between Ruffian and
Calamity Ann generated Ch. Ruffian
Headlinght and Ch. Ruffian Our Teenie.
Then Mr. Harriman used them for generate Ch.
Ruffian Walkaway and
Ch. Ruffian Dread naught.
Harriman kept by himself Walkaway, and
left Dreadnaught to Mrs. W.D. (Peggy) Harper from
San Antonio, Texas Ch. Ruffian Headling was
sold to Mr. Bill Whitaker from
Columbus Ohio. Using Ch. Ruffian
Dreadnaughtm Headlinght Hal
generated Puddinpie Blue
Smoke e Pud dinpie Pepperduster. These
two female was taken ill by the
distemper when they were only puppy.
Even if they were never
being showed because of the dental
discolouration they became much important
for the next develop
of the strain Under the supervision
of Mr. Whita ker, they were
used for two extremally
importants coupling. Pepper duster wa used
with its mother's ouncle Ch. Ruffian
Walkaway. The big Ch. Gallant Ruffian
was from this couple. Ruff was sold to Mr.
E.C. Ringold di Decatur Georgia. Puddinpie Blue
Smoke was used with Walka way, this
couple generated Ch.
Scamperpuss, the first female
who wins the National Speciality of the
U.S.A. Staffordshire Terrier Club.
Then Mr. Whitaker used Jolly Scamperpuss
with Gallant Ruff and
produced Ch. Jollyscamp Bluegard. These breedings
maked the basis of
the Ruffian strain and are still dominant on the
Ruffians pedigrees. We can say
thatClayton Harriman and Bill Whitaker
founded the strain that for
several years were kept on by
Mrs. Harper. Her
kennel of Har-Wyn, S.Antonio, was for
several years the biggest
and the top producer of the
winning dogs of the
country. From the best dog of Har - Wyn we
can find Ch. Sky King of
Har-Wyn, winner for three times of the
NationalSpeciality; Ch.Ruffian Hercules of
Har-Wyn the top producer of Ruffian's Champions,
anda Ch. Ruffian Red Rock of Har- Wyn, the dog
most showed of the history of breeding.
Mr Ringold was active breeder for a long time in the
Stafs and he was
succefull. His Gallant kennel
produced, with a little number
of dogs the Stafs, winner of
shows, very intelligent and
with a great temperament. With the
acquisition of the Gallant
Ruff begins his modern program of breeding.Through
the years hid dogs mainteni ned its relation
with the Ruffian strain. The
gene were being influenced also by
same blo od of Crusader Strain, from
Ch. Knight Crusader to it son, Ch.
Gallant Kimbo. Ch. Gallant Kimbo appears in a lot
of courrent pedigrees keeping the
Gallant prefix. It' s remarkable that
either Knight Crusader and Gallant
Kimbo kept its big force and good health
even if they were not very young.
The Ruffian Strain was important for
its influence in Cali fornia with some of
dogs like Mounthaven Tiara of Lylane
Ch. Ruffian Rudy from Har-Wyn (the Ch
Indian Doc and Ch. Archer' s
Dare Devil' s father) and with
Ch. Mounthaven Tex from Har - Wyn.
U.D. Tiara Rudy and Tex were Howard and
Janice Hadley's dogs. Ch. Indian Doc and
Ch. Archer's Dare Devil were breeding by Dorothy
Archer.
