About the Staffordshire Bull Terrier

 

Return to the Main Page

 

 

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a medium sized, velvety-coated, lively, athletic, and highly intelligent canine. "He outsmarts you on a regular basis"!

His origins came as a bull-and-terrier cross to be used as a superior gaming dog in the rat and dog pits of 19th Century England.

In spite of his nefarious beginnings, his loyalty and love of people, especially children, are legendary, and have deservedly earned him the title of "The Nanny Dog". (He'll hold the flashlight for the burglar, but heaven help the intruder who harms his owners or the children!)

Many will not start an altercation with a fellow canine, but most will surely finish it, if challenged.

His overt friendliness, sense of fun, and untiring love of games make him the supreme icebreaker wherever he goes.

Easily trained, possessing great athletic ability, soundness, courage, loyalty, adaptability and gentleness are the traits that make him the ideal companion for the responsible pet owner of the 20th Century. Colors - red, fawn, black, brindle, blue, white or any combination of the previous with white.
