About Us

Cora and Jimmy Fields with Tilly

Cora, Jimmy and Ivan

Hi! We're Jimmy and Cora Fields from the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. Both of us have been involved with the sport of pure bred dogs since we were young. We purchased our first AKC registered dog together more than 20 years ago. Between us, we have owned all four of the “Bull and Terrier” breeds - American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Colored Bull Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier, a foremost all-purpose dog.
We met our first Staffordshire Bull Terrier when we were showing Bull Terriers in southern California. We met a couple who had been given a Stafford as a wedding present. They didn’t know much about showing dogs and weren’t even certain he was nice enough to show. They went on to finish his Championship and are still showing Staffords' to this day. We knew right then that we would one day own a Stafford. We purchased our first Stafford in 2003, and founded Rocksolid Staffords. We now have five AKC Champions of record. Our second litter of Rocksolid puppies are now competing in the conformation show ring and have earned several major points toward AKC Championship.
We are a small kennel in the mountains of western North Carolina, just five miles from the North Georgia border. We will only breed our dogs occasionally and always with the improvement of the breed as our main goal. Our dogs are raised indoors with lots of love and affection, as members of our family. They are socialized early and exposed to lots of different environments. Daily walks in the mountains keep our dogs in excellent physical condition and make them great companions. Mountain walks typically begin slowly at six months of age, and gradually increase for strength and stamina.
Staffordshire Bull Terriers are not a dog for everyone. They require a lot of exercise and interaction with their family, good basic obedience training and proper socialization. They are not a dog to be left in the back yard to their own devices. They are smart enough to know how to get what they want. They are always ready to go for a walk or a hike and enjoy a good chew on a nylabone or hoof. We exercise our dogs daily and use consistent training with rules, boundaries and limitations, to produce well rounded companions. Our puppies are always born and hand-raised in our home, given their first shots and socialized prior to going to their new homes. New owners are given lots of pictures and information about their puppy.
Our dogs are health tested for hereditary diseases and are kept current on all the proper vaccinations. They are raised on a combination of natural and raw foods and enjoy very good health. They have successfully competed in the conformation show ring and are now getting ready to try some performance events. Staffords excel at rally, obedience, and agility.
