Staffordshire Bull Terrier
This image is copyright and may not be downloaded or reproduced
A British breed, developed by crossing the Bulldog with various local terriers, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was bred for dog-fighting purposes. These fights took place in specially constructed pits, often situated in public house yards, and vast amounts of money were wagered on the outcome of these bouts.
Today he is one of the kindest and most friendly dogs around, although he still has the inherent tendency to be aggressive with other dogs, making him best suited as a rule to being the only dog in the household. With all age groups , however, he is loyal and loving, being particularly sweet tempered and gentle.
He is quiet, stable and trustworthy, making him an invaluable all-purpose household companion.
Ideal height 36 - 41 cm
Weight Dogs 12 - 17kg
Bitches 11-15.4kg
