We would like to welcome you to the Altisette Staffordshire Bull Terrier & Racing Greyhound Team Webpage, which includes our family as well as the present & past staffords which have made our lives a complete joy and our skinny family of hounds. We are Schoie (aka, Gordon) and Robynne, and our lives are filled with fun of the company our dogs, and children Ryan, Josh & Emma (Josh’s girlfriend) along with a mischievous young mini dachshund Armarni (aka, Marnie) & Arlie a Fuzzy Jack Russell. Although Ryan, now nearing 20, and Josh 23 no longer live at home - we are a close family with Josh being not only our webmaster and building our wonderful site, but now working as salesman at one of the Caravan Sales Yard owned by my parents.

Ryan and Josh are both far from home now living in Townsville, where we hope to join them one day in the future.

Our dogs are treated as family members who are fed on the guidelines of the Billinghurst BARF Diet and enjoy free running & playing upon the 3 acres where we are situated in Sth Johnstone in Far North Queensland and also enjoy sleeping in air-conditioned comfort at night. Our first Stafford, Jawara Wild Saphire (aka Madison) was entrusted to us by Sharon & Philip Large of Jawara Staffords who we are FOREVER Thankful too !! :-) and although she was not shown due to my involvement in the thoroughbred horseracing industry she is still proudly featured in the pedigree almost all of the Altisette Dogs you will see on our webpage. Due to injury I was forced to give up my love for Thoroughbreds although Altisette Prefix and dogs carry the names of past and former racehorses.

Madison was the foundation of Altisette who continues to carry her superb nature, excellent mouth and confirmation through to the dogs who are included in our Show Team and breeding program and for this to her we are forever grateful, and we miss this beautiful girl dearly. Through Sharon & Phil we also met one of our most favourite Stafford breeders of the past, and someone we also regard as our Mentor & extremely close friend in Clare Helm (Rudgley Staffords). Although Clare lives at Caboolture in Sth Qld, she has always been our rock through the good times and bad ,trials, tribulations, sadness and joyous show ring victories of the dogs she calls her grand puppies. Clare continues to share her much appreciated advice and wonderful knowledge of the breed with us along with many stories of old which included her close friendship with the late Mr. Bill Stevens (Westaff Staffords) and we hope we continue to make Sharon, Phil, Clare, Bill and another very Special friend Mrs. Margaret Pritchard (Magern Staffords) very proud predecessors of the line we proudly exhibit in the show ring today.
Thank you all, we love you guys - your the best !!!
