Hello I'm Jana Tanzer (formerly Faithful) and I am the owner of or should I say I'm owned by OURKNIGHTS Staffordshire Bull Terrier's. I personally have been around and involved with Stafford 's and Bully's my whole life, not showing just as family pets hence why I love the breed so much. When I finally moved out of home into a place of my own and was in a position to get my first Stafford I made the terrible mistake of buying one from a back yard breeder resulting in SAYJE my Staffy X Labrador. So from that mistake I learn't to never buy from anyone but reputable registered breeder's it may cost a little more but at least you know you are getting what you paid for, a pedigree Staffordshire Bull Terrier!

About 10mths down the track I decided to try again, this time ringing the canine body and getting a list of breeders from them (best thing you could do). I went through the list ringing people trying to find some one with pups or pups coming. I found someone, I did some research on the pedigree of the litter decided I liked the lines and purchased my first show dog.

My partner at the time Michael had only been involved with the breed since meeting me but he immediately fell in love with them as he just couldn't get over there character and willingness to please there owner's. We started off in the dog scene a bit wobbly but after a year we got right into it and have been going steady ever since. After showing awhile and getting my first dog titled we decided we would become registered breeders. I register the prefix Ourknights and we started cramming in all the information we could find and learn from friends in the dog world about the breed as we wanted to do this right and by the book. 

So now year's later we are a very select little Kennel only breeding for ourselves when we want to improve our own stock. We breed for true type, correct size, character/temperament and quality. We are now raising our second generation and extending our lines. Our current lines are strongly based and we carry some very well known UK & OZ lines.

I now have a new love in my life......Glen and he has adjusted to the life of many dogs like a duck to water. I feel very privledged to have met someone like him. As making the choice to have so many Staffords (6) and raise them like I do as part of the family. Is not everybodies cup of tea and I didn't think I would find someone who would except them and love them like I do. I had the advantage of the fact Glen already owned a Stafford male called Micky, so he already had the bug but Micky was a handful and made my guys look like angels to Glen so they had his heart from very early on. Sadly we lost Micky earlier in 2007 and I think it has made Glen appreciate my guys just that little bit more. Glen is very supportive of my choice to breed and show. He is always there to help me out by the ring side I'm yet to convince him to grace the ring.

!!!!!!NEWS FLASH!!!!!!

I have managed to get Glen in the ring!!! He debut in Bundy at our very last shows for the year........we had our hands very full up there with a few scratchings and wins of classes from our girls leaving us to take 4 bitch's in the Challenge line up and only 2 of us to do it!!! Thanks to the ring in's we managed to pull it off. Glen went in with the Devious Diva and did exceptionally well for his very first time stacking a dog....lol WELL DONE BABE Mwaaaa!!!

Well Glen is proving to be a valuable part of the handling show team for Ourknights, Currently he is campaigning one our youngster's Elle ~ Ourknight Gimme More with great success beating me with her sister Fallon on quiet a number of occassions now!!! Well done guy's and keep it up!!

Glen strapes for me mainly and is my muscle for set up and pack up but if and when needed he will show the dogs but prefer's the side line work more then in the spotlight :o)
