Unless your dog is of show and/or working quality which has been proven by earning titles in either:conformation, obedience, weight pull, shutzhund, agility, search & rescue, has had genetic health screenings (eyes, heart, hips, shoulders, thyroid, von Wildebrans, etc), then there really is no reason to breed. I'm glad you don't think pets should be used for breeding as much as possible for making money, but pet quality dogs should not be used for breeding at all. There are plenty of pets already in this world that don't have homes, Staffs included, and that "one time" litter will go on to have more "one time" litters of their own, therefore creating more homeless animals. For each puppy you place into a home (which could be up to 13), an equal number will die in a shelter because no one wanted them. You'll only be taking away homes from dogs that are already here. Most of the links listed below are aimed at Pit Bull breeders, but can apply to any breed and Staffs (unless this is a Staffy Bull we're talking about) are the same as Pits anyway. Please, read before you breed.

if I had a dollar for every person who said that..."oh we're just doing it once and we have people who just love our dogs and want a puppy" then bam the pups are here and mysteriously all or most of the people who wanted puppies are nowhere to be found and your stick with 8 or so puppies and you just cant possibly care for them and your desperate to find homes for them....etc. etc...

It doesn't matter whether or not you have homes for them -- the point is, there are staffies in shelters looking for homes too. Staffies that are being killed everyday. How fair is it to have those puppies killed just because you want a puppy? You are not going to be a reputable breeder so don't breed. Get a puppy from a reputable breeder or adopt a puppy.
