Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Staffordshire Bull Terrier's have a bit of a reputation of being vicious and violent, the type of dogs that thugs take on their travels with them to protect them during dodgey dealings. If that's the kind of thing you want sure you could train them to be like it but they are actually really good family pets if handled by the right people. They're not hard to control and despite what people think, aren't born vicious or violent at all. Beyond that reputation is a loveable caring family pet, although like any other dog, they do have the potential to turn at any time. Staffordshire Bull Terriers are very protective of their owners, this i wouldn't see as violent ...  Read the complete review

Originally bred to be a fighting dog Staffordshire Bull Terriers are stocky, muscular Dogs with impressive strength, powerful jaws (mine once chewed through a golf ball) and an indomitable courage. Don't let that make you think these are not great family pets though as stories were told that in the old days injured fighting dogs were actually taken home in the pram with the children. I have had mine since she was about 6 weeks old, like all Staffs she is an extremely intelligent Dog meaning she was very good to train, almost too good. She knows before I do that it's the time of day for her chew. The size for me is ideal as well, big enough to intimidate intruders but not ...  Read the complete review

staffordshire bullterriors are the most amazing breed i have ever seen in my opinion. They are lovable, friendly, kind and playful. I have two a bitch and a dog they are my babies, i have no children but believe me they are mine. I cant say that i have ever seen a nasty side to any of them not towards humans or other dogs, they are scared if u can believe that, i dont no how people can describe them as they do, nasty fighting dogs!! no way dont believe that for a second. i adore the ground they walk on, they sleep with me, ride in the car with me, go for walks together and when i need them most they are there faithful x

A staffordshire bull terrier is a smooth, short haired dog of medium size and of the terrier breed. It is related to the bull terrier, they often have a bad reputation for being violent, but I have had several Staffies in my life and never has one shown violence towards me or to anyone else. They do have a tendency to dislike other animals though, and this needs to dealt with while they are puppies with good socialization. I rescued my dog from a charity, she was found wandering homeless, yet despite this I could not wish for a more loving, family friendly dog. She loves people, and innocently believes that they all love her too, all she wants to do is get a ...  Read the complete review

I'm on to my 3rd Staff now, over a 25 year period and I have learned a few things about them. Although historically bred by the men of the black country for fighting they are great family pets. Like all terriers they are extremely intelligent and so learn commands, house training etc very quickly. They are very energetic and so require a lot of exercise. Apart from the health benefits, this is extremely important to stop them getting bored and potentially snappy. They are very good with children and I have got 3 who have, tugged, slapped, trod on etc the dogs at various times and yet the dogs have still loved them! They love to chase sticks and balls but a word of ...  Read the complete review
