Staffordshire Bull Terrier
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN England.
MOST SUITED AS Family pet.
SIZE
The shoulder-height should be 35 - 41cm (13 1/2 - 16 1/2in) and the weight 11-17kg (24 - 37 1/2lb).
COAT
The coat is short and smooth. Staffordshires can be black, red, soft brown, white, or blue with any mixture that does not include white. Black and tan and liver are not popular.
CARE REQUIRED
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier requires little grooming. Remove the loose and dead hairs occasionally with a rubber brush to keep the coat in optimum condition.
CHARACTER
This breed is loving with children, obedient, brave, affectionate, has a sense of humour, is intelligent, tenacious, possesses a tremendous stamina, and is boisterous.
TRAINING
The Staffordshire learns fairly quickly but can be stubborn. Teach this clog early that it must let go when you have had enough with rope-pulling games.
Remain consistent throughout, but also loving towards it. Introduce the young dog to other household animals.
SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
These dogs normally get on well with children and they can take rough play without a fuss. Provided they have been properly introduced to cats and other household animals when young, there should not be any problems with such animals. Most Staffordshires (and particularly the dogs) do not like the company of other dogs when they are adult - and they will make this quite obvious.
EXERCISE
When they get sufficient exercise, they are very peaceful in the house. Most of them love to romp, play with a ball, and retrieve things.
