The Staffordshire Bull is THE finest dog breed bar none. Highly intelligent, great emotional intelligence- they can always judge your mood accurately. Fiercely loyal and loving, utterly fearless and courageous. Always ready to play a game- terrific energy and a great sense of fun. Superb with children- far more tolerant than many breeds. Staffies are strong characters, they bond very closely to their owners- you never own them, that's because THEY OWN YOU! An intelligent Staffy will soon have its' human owners well trained! :)
I recently lost sophie my staffie she was my fur baby. Unfortunately she fell to bone cancer with secondrys in the lungs. By the time she showed pain from it we litterally had a week left with her. Staffies pain threshold is so high its something major when they show pain.
They also like to talk a lot.. I know mine does.. she's 9 and acts like she's a happy 6 month old pup, also thinks she weighs the same when trying to sit on my knee 🤣
Lost my best buddy back in Feb, he was just short of 15. Still have the odd weep from time to time, but the memories are the treasure I have from the times we spent together. We were joined at the hip and if I left the room he'd be looking for me. Brilliant breed 😀
After 13 years of living with a Staffie, I can easily say the are an awesome breed. The bad rep is absolutely undeserved (the fault for a "bad" dog is always on the other end of the leash). Energizer bunny outside, couch potatoe and snoring snugglebug inside. Knowing a Staffie is loving a Staffie, they steal hears left and right.
People are the problem. Point blank. We can't even admit that it's always how you train and treat a dog that determines if it will be dangerous or not.
My staffy loves everyone, dogs, people and even our three cats! She adores children. On our walk up Scafell Pike yesterday she was snarled at by 3 or 4 dogs and didn't react once. I wouldn't have any other breed now. As with any dog, good training is essential. They're bad reputation stems from bad owners who have them because they 'look tough.'
Ours is like this too. She's been lunged and snarled at and just slinks away. She loves cats, birds, other dogs and people. Great temperament but people are still very afraid of her :(
I do canicross with mine too. Not competitively but, with a relaxed group. We run 5 to 10k with stops along the way. We don't run in summer because its too hot. I highly recommend it, once dogs are over 1 year old.
Lost my Ridgeback in April. A month later, my wife and kids adopted two Staffy puppies. They are so affectionate, happy, and those full body wags are one of life's gifts. I miss my Ridgeback, but these two are pure love.
Staffies are homeless, why.... but they are such clean dogs, with almost no shedding, they learn all things so quickly, and they love to please all people and I mean all of them, they are gentle tanks. Their own human is their VIP, they love their family to the moon and back. My staffy boy was so understanding with me. We have been active daily since he was two months old and came home. After about a year of active life, I suddenly had to have surgery and wasn't able to walk and train him while recovering from it. He had no problem spending time at home with me, he didn't start destroying things. Then my dad died, and my dog helped me through it, by just being by my side and kissing the sadness away. They are full of energy, baravery life force, intelligence, understanding, fun, happiness, and love.
I just lost my staffy Ruby. She was 16 years old and we had so many great memories and was the most loyal and loving dog. I really miss her so much and I am looking for a staffy to adopt so fast to fill in the gap. Thank you for sharing
Me and my ex partner had our staffy ruby she was a runt and I went to a house the guy had her in a empty water barrel making her run to build her up ☹️☹️☹️ I had to take her home after a heated argument I paid money to that idiot and was best thing I ever did !!!Katy fell in love straight away best dog in the world heartbroken when she passed away never seen a dog give so much love .... I hope your new one comes soon 🙏
Staffys are the best dog in my opinion, we lost her lost year unexpectedly she was loving friendly dog and was so good around the children. If you have the time and don’t work all day I would definitely recommend a staff. We think about her every day RIP BEAU ❤️
I lost my rescue baby girl 3 weeks who I rescued from dogs trust here in Dublin.. man I only had her for 3 years ago but hands down its affected me more than when my mam passed..they are a one of a kind dog ❤
They are so intuitive .... I have seen one seek out a sad young lady in a wheel chair for a pat. Just to try and cheer her up. I had a tear in my eye ! The young lass beamed afterward, so cute.
All I can say is the Staffordshire bull terrier is the sweetest, loving and loyal dog I've known. They are so gentle with children hence they are known as the nanny dog. The kennel club recommend as a family dog.
The best pet and friend of the family we have ever had, not an ounce of aggression to humans in her she loves other dogs if they love or are not aggressive to her. An absolute pleasure to own and care for they give twice as much back if you love and care for them in return.
I miss my lovely staff she was so special and 100% a family dog would be the first to the door to see who it is and yet so gentle with my baby boy and i had no worries about my family if i had to work away as she was the protecting force of the home i miss her so much i love you stella and you are always in our hearts ❤
We have just adopted a 6 year old Staffie from a shelter. He is the sweetest, nicest dog I have met. Energetic to a fault. I am looking forward to reading the guide you offer. As a 70 year old man he can be a nightmare to walk. However I will not give in!!
I adopted a little dark brindle Staffie 13months ago . In one year she is off the lead everywhere except busy traffic areas , she's good with all dogs , all people , on all public transport , she waits , stays , keeps in , leaves it , doesn't chase cats and ignores all other livestock , she sleeps all night until around 9. 30 am , doesn't run off if I let her out at night for a pee . She's so grateful to have been rescued , she warms my heart everyday . I don't know how old she is , I think 10 or 11 going by the lumps and bumps , but she goes all day , non stop if I let her . She is absolutely hilarious , sweet natured and kind hearted . She was Layla , now Hoola'hoop . I LOVE her dearly . Please consider rescuing a Staffie , she was on death row cos of her bad write-up , now EVERYONE loves her and she has a wonderful life pleasing everyone she meets .
@@lennyjennings8748 Thanku , she's still thriving and improving week upon week . One outstanding malfunction is , she has a passion for travel , and has , on at least a dozen occasions , bounced swiftly and determinedly into ANY vehicle that has open doors . The more people in the car etc. the happier she is to join them , usually with hilarious results . She's not easy to get out either . We were at a busy bus station yesterday and she was sooo excited about all the buses filling up and leaving her behind , I had to walk to the first single stop en route home in order to stop her worrying . She is generally hilarious . She makes everyone laugh within a moment of meeting her .
We have had staffies all our lives and now have a new puppy 8 months old and we have never had any issues with aggression or violence from any of them. They do love destroying toys when younger but other than that they are the most loving and appreciative animal I’ve ever come across. Long live the English Staffordshire ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰👊👍💪👌
I adopted my first Staffy last year when I lost my last Bearded Collie, my heart dog. Tinker is 11 years old and a lovely lady. She shares my bed ( the largest share) sleeps by my chair, I can't walk much, is a wonderful alert barker for any rogue thunderstorm or stranger that dares come up the drive. She still has nightmares, sleeps with my old complaining cat, and I love her.
4 years ago I found a tiny pup ony front porch. I asked around the neighborhood if anyone was missing a pup. I put up lost pup signs as well as called both animal shelter and police dept. I was told if no one claimed him after 3 days, then I could keep him. I thought he might be a type of mixed bulldog, but when I saw what a staffordshire looked like and their traits, I just assumed that is what he is. I have always been a dog lover and have owned a variety of dogs from mixed to full-blooded chow, German police, black and tan coon, cocker spaniel and chihuahua but none of these has filled my heart like he has. He is sensitive to me when I cry, licking my tears and is very vocal, and outshines every other dog I have owned. I have named this handsome guy. Rock.
My daughters Staffordshire is 2 years old, her dog's name is Gage, Gage is my little girl's registered "service animal/ Companion Animal," my little girl Terry is 12 years old and has had two heart surgeries in the last 18 months, and has one more surgery to go, anyhow we spent yesterday August 6th at the Clark County Fair in the state of Washington, It was very fun and peaceful, I was amazed to see the Lambs that were caged as exhibits would come over to the corner of their cage and muzzle up against my staffordshire's muzzle as if they were kissing! these Lambs and my Staffordshire were so gentle and friendly toward each other! this happened time after time regardless which cage of lambs we visited! Gage is a 2 year old male he is very lovable and adorable, of course I had him on a leash or actually secured with a thick soft cotton rope! we walked around the fair and countless children wanted to pet him, and they as well as adults we're constantly drawn to him! In each case I would introduce gage to them by name, and then I would kneel down and we would talk to the dog and I would talk to the child and we would pet Gage! Gage is very gentle and loving toward kids and adults as well! he's a very loving dog! I did not see one other person with a dog at the Clark County Fair which I thought was strange! Gage gets along good with people and other dogs as well! Gages is by Nature a very gentle creature along with being very interested and curious toward other animals and people! He is a brindle with a very large head and very muscular, I suppose he might weigh 50 or 60 pounds, I've not weighed him, and he is so sweet and gentle! He's a wonderful member and part of our family!
PETA certainly doesn't have a clue about the temperment and nature of the Staffordshire bull terrier you won't find a better family dog breed than this breed they are simply the best 🐾💙🐾❤️
It's a terrible shame that so many lovely staffies are in shelters, they are superb dogs 🐕, once given the proper early socialisation and training and i know this due to owning an amstaff. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Doubt u find purebred Staffies abandoned, what u find are mixes , backyard bred pitb. Different temprement between Staffy, AmStaff My Staffy is from Ruffian line of Old Eng Irish Staffies, th agresion has been bred out AmStaff...were from original Eng Pit fighting dogs, & old Eng. Irish Staffies., then became APBT, then 1936, AKC registered them as AmStaff There is no pitbull in a purebred Staffy, bull & terrier
@Carl there are far less pur Staffies, compared to the pit mixes, of everything .. even a doodled pit.. called pitdoodle, ridiculous !! There are reputable breeders,.. but it's the back yd. breeders, .. want th xxxl. low & wide, over muscled,.. & then are the pocket , & micro, can hardly walk, breathe . Its all for. "The money" to be got.
@Carl oh yes In the good ole USA, Florida.. In the Miami- Dade County, & some others, ..ALL pit "type" are banned. can't own, bred, sell.. bc of the population explosion, in 80s, everyone wanted pits, & breeding of APBT with Mastiff types, what rappers, drug dealers wanted., big & mean, that what got them banned, the mixed mutts. & shelters we r so full, ... started calling them Pibbles, adopted them out, adults, unpredictable, & attacked owners. Also, what show breeders have done to G. Shep. Bulldog. Peke. Pug. ...is awful. way too pushed in, short muzzled Whatever is trendy, is poorly, over bred. The cane corsos, is new rage I love my little 25 lb. Staffy girl,.. just right size, .not overly muscled. & sweet face, not the "piggy" look of some Staffs ..
@Carl the American Bully , UK recognized 2013, tho bred from APBT & AmStaff/ Staffy, is allowed in UK, but not APBT, that's why they will be mass produced, unfortunately
Great video for a lovely dog breed. They were actually bread near Dudley between Cradley Heath, Netherton and Rowley Regis (The Blackcountry). This area was historically part of Staffordshire, but since boundary changes is now West Midlands and is nowhere near Stafford.
#1 was so interesting! I always thought dogs will be dogs and felt it would be unreasonable to think that 2 dogs may not get into with eachother. It can happen. People have been surprised at how I break up two dogs that get into it. I've always just jumped in and never thought anything of it. My staffy has never even biten me on accident when breaking something up. I never put much thought into why others have described me as being fearless when breaking up dogs. I guess I never thought about it. It likely because of my personal experiences with staffys that makes it so that the thought of them biting me has never crossed my mind. Thinking of it now, I would be shocked if I was ever biten. Thats very interesting to me. If she finds a chicken bone, i can take them out of her mouth and thinking nothing of it but I wouldn't allow another dog to try to do the same thing with her. That's amazing. They are truly a bread of their own. After having one, I will always have a staffy.
@Carl ... My daughter says when she walks our dogs.. Rowan does what he does with her... Standing up on two legs, barking or making his sounds... Never with me... I say mind your business and he run on trying to get a peek in at the other dog??? Our female put mix is the real Mama that dares the other dog to make an attempt at whatever to let it know whatever... LOLLLL!!! Rowan just stands and waits for me to say what I say... He is a very good guard dog... Barking if someone comes in the yard or to the door... Good strong barking... Sniffing when he picks up scents of strangers... He is very mannerable, stays close to me when walked, intelligent, I obedient, very observant...
At last the correct explaination of the staffy character with people and children. Yes it is due to the fact they were fighting dogs that were not allowed to have people aggression.
The old Staffy, are not what was shown here, there were AAmstaffs, bullies, & mixes1 Back in the day, fighting dogs, had to be dog agressive, & ppl friendly, & were fine family pets . It was in the 80s, when back yard breeders, mixed mastiffs, & other large breeds, over bred un balanced, mean , what th rappers& drug dealers wanted ,.. is what u got today
@@Memow-pk1ng you can still get staffs that are not mixed the breed and lines of pedigree staffs go back to 1930’s I don’t think any gangster rappers were around then
I have a staffy x rottweiler and he is the soppiest oaf there is. Adores and protects children yet terrified of chihuahuas. The worst guard dog as loves everyone he meets. Walks everywhere off-lead and loves the pub. Definitely man's best friend.
I have a staffy and pitbull mix named Koda, i never heard of the staffy breed until i adopted him. I did some research and saw the differences in him that looked very much staffy. He is literally the sweetest most cuddly dog. He will lay right on you and give you kisses until he falls asleep. He never is aggressive to anything he even tries to play with my cat who could care less about him. He even understands who he can really play tug of war with too. When my significant other tries to play then koda will use all his strength. But if my daughter tried playing, he'd barely pull and jump around. I always had a huge heart for pitbulls but now seeing the staffy they are just as wonderful.
I've always found Forthglade wet food with a good quality kibble (50%-50% mix) to be a good way to go. I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong but my dogs have all got on with it. I'd stay away from most tinned dog food. Especially Pedigree and the like. It's mostly cereal with less that 10% meet. Butchers seems to be one of the best tinned food. Good luck with your new dog.
My new rescue is a staffordshire Boston terrier mix. She is so smart! She has learned to ring jingle bells that hang on the back door to alert me when she needs to potty. She also gets in her crate willingly when it’s bed time. All this after only being rescued for 2 weeks!
Oh seeing that old Staffy on the sofa under that Girls leg...reminded me of mine, 15 and half years of friendship I feel grateful to have enjoyed. Oh they smile and sing along with you.
I have a staffing & she's been the sweetest do I've ever had. I've adopted 2 littles after her & she's great with them. I've fostered big & little dogs & she's been great with them as well. She's good with people, never threatening, but definitely a momma's girl. People who have never had one or met one should meet some if considering adoption. They won't be sorry!!!
I inherited a Staffy which has become the greatest dog I’ve ever had. We used to have two standard poodles, and a gsp, none of which were as sweet, intelligent, and reliable as Dubs the Staffy. It’s hilarious to me that people walk well around us at the park, because she’s even gentle with our cat, and her favorite thing to do is cuddle under a blanket. Best breed ever.
my parents got two English staffies for me to you know,not get bored when I was born,I grew up with the two dogs and still with one of them,sadly we had to put down the other one last year,I can confirm that staffies are probably the best dogs
OMG ... my lovely puppy Becky staffy (7months now) is just such a lovely and nice and energetic love spreader.... you can not pass her without feeling loved afterwards. She loves dog, people, cats birds .... only thing is that she doesnt know that she might be scary for some... :D so i try to ease her energy... She loves running, and she goes running with me on 5-10 km runs.... and when i put on the running clothes she goes completely mad wagging her tail. She is the perfect dog for me, and during working day, she gets some really good naps (i work from home) The bread is a talker bread ... she grunts all the time :D oink oink, which is both funny and wierd, but she is always in a happy mood.... a VERY friendly dog.
I have a staffy …. Wasn’t my first choice but the more I read up on the breed the more I wanted one ………. And I’m so pleased to say they are the most loyal dog he’s very good with other dogs doesn’t bother him if they bark … great with people as well and always looking for hugs who ever that maybe and they are a really intelligent knows quite a few tricks… now can I also point out this is my first dog I’m 59 and he’s been the best thing ever to come into my life he loves me lots but hey I love him just the same back
I have owned many different breeds of dogs in my life, but I can honestly say that my 17mon old blue pit girl is the most loving loyal dog I have ever owned. I don't even say that she is a pit bull because she Has never seen a pit, I just say she is my baby bull dog!
My staffy Oreo was returned twice at the shelter before he rescued me. He was out of control and bullying my wife. After 1 month she wanted to return him. They told at the shelter that if we brought him back they will have to put him down. So I chose not to give up on him. With patience, assertion time and lots of you tube video he is now the best family pet.
My staffy is keeping me alive it's a little past 3 am in Australia I wake up in a bad way and he's always there on my bed or very close by he is my family he eats nothing I wouldn't eat and he eats most of my food also and I love it , the most beautiful pooches in my opinion I wouldn't be here without him.. Buddha age 7. Love your staff people.👍🇭🇲
I’ve rescue Staffy in Poland. In Uk Staffy its popular breed but in Poland is very rare. There is fb group where ppl looking to rehome staffy in Poland and some ppl waiting a long time.
Never known as the Nanny Dog in the breeds entire documented history which goes back to the 1820s . It was made up nonsense in the 1970s by breeders to sell dogs to gullible fools like you ….
I own and breed these dogs(english/American staffies),if you're looking for a life long loyal partner,this dog is perfect for you. These dogs are also perfect for a family with small kids or babies. As a guard dog forget about them attacking humans anything else best be aware!!
I'd prefer to adopt a Staffy over most other breeds. Chihuahua, Chow, Sharpei, Akita, and min-pins are so much more difficult to have around various people. My Staffy is dog selective, but if they're friendly then there's no problem. When I'm in public, I watch other dogs owners and can tell in advance if there's going to be an issue. If the dog is aggressive and the owner is timid, can be problematic. But she's absolutely the gentlest dog I've ever had around complete strangers kids, even more so than my previous golden retrievers.
I would really like to adopt a staffy. But unfortunately i lack time and they are even "illegal" or atleast very high regulated in most states in germany.
It's unfortunate that Staffies face such restrictions in many places. Perhaps in the future, circumstances will change, and you'll have the opportunity to welcome a Staffy into your life.
I took in a 2 mos. old American Staffordshire Terrier rescue puppy over 2 years ago, and this dog is THEE....best, sweetest dog I've ever owned!! From that very first night, he has slept with me in my bed, and I love it! He props his big, square, bicycle-shaped head up against my chest or my neck or the side of my face, and he snores in my ear all night long!! He's lovable, he's SMART, and he makes us laugh every day! He was housebroken in less than 3 weeks, too! He DOES perhaps LOOK just a bit intimidating if you haven't yet met him, BUT....he's the BIGGEST BABY and the friendliest dog ever!! He loves people, kids, and other dogs, too; all he wants to do is PLAY; "Tug-of-war" is his all-time FAVORITE game to play. To the casual observer, he sounds like he's about to make a deadly attack on whoever is playing with him, but it's all play; these dogs cannot help the fact that they have such deep, resonant barks and playful growls; THEY'RE GREAT FAMILY DOGS!! I cannot stress that enough!
They're THE BEST Dog breed! 100% and the best family dogs! Anyone who has had one or knows people that have, they're the Safest and Friendliest Dog Breed around especially with kids etc fantastic temperament! Loving, Kind, Gentle, Protective and Fearless in face of danger! As with ALL Dogs, socialising and puppy classes or Dog training if an adopted dog is a good idea also as gets them used to other Dogs. That goes for ALL breeds! But their natural temperament is the Friendliest and most loving and loyal of ANY of the Dog Breeds 100%! They're great for anyone from young people and families to older people as they can be hugely playful! But also like to lay around sleep, be cuddled and stroked like a big lap dog! And they're very gentle when they need to be.. Great Companion Dogs! They've often been used as therapy dogs and trained as working dogs of various forms including for those with disabilities! 👍❤️🏴🇬🇧
I lucked out. I live in NJ. Adopted what I thought was a pit bull. But after months of research, found out she is a staffy, not a am staff. She can be a handful but a great dog overall
Most of what is said here is true and accurate. The APBT is actually staffies that came from Ireland to America, and the pure bred one share the same characteristics of the staffy.
Completely agree! Fantastic breed, intelligent, loyal, loving and brave. Will take as much or little exercise they receive, brilliant as house dogs and great with children. they have a wrong reputation caused by a small number of idiots. They have been in our family since 1972.
Something I have noticed since having mine is people get a staffy and think they are sofa dogs don't never take them out and wonder why their bouncing off the ceiling
I am a lifelong aficionado of the breed, more than 30 years now. But what people don't like to talk about is that a lot of Staffies have elevated dog aggression. Males especially from 30 months or so and up can become impossible around other males. And they can really hurt or even kill other dogs. This does not have to become a problem if you're aware of it, but it IS the reason so many of them end up in shelters. In every other way they are ideal pets. Gentle, good with kids, great with other animals, small but still a real dog. People who know this breed and keep silent about their dog aggression are not doing anyone a service; this is the reason so many of them are up for adoption. It would be so much better if prospective buyers were completely aware of what they are possibly buying into, and would have to decide beforehand if they could deal with this.
Well said I have male staffy he is 18 years old when he was a young dog he wouldn't let another dog near him very aggressive towards male dogs from a pup and he never changed it doesn't matter how hard you try
@@kennygovan1734 Absolute bladderdash. Have owned and know many male staffies and not ONE was male aggressive, properly trained they have no interest with any other dog, focusing instead on the owner and their given guidance/command. Training from a pup should include the ability for your dog to walk without such distractions.
My Staffordshire Bull Terrier is 9 years old and he is absolutely brilliant with children and adults. He is also the softest of the 5 dogs I own (All the other 4 are female dogs). But as mentioned above he is a bugger with certain male dogs. It's really not a big issue for us now that he is older and listens to us. But when he was younger, it was a big problem for us. I must also add that it is not all male dogs. He couldn't care less about male puppies, dogs that are smaller than him and submissive dogs. But he would fight with a labrador, huskies and German Shepherd etc. That being said. They are the best dog breed for the majority of homes in the UK in my opinion. So friendly and great fun to have around! ❤️
@@Lou_Sylw_Bulgarian_Rescue_Dogs Yep. It's pretty much the experience of every Staffy owner: they are the best dogs, IF you can live with this dogfighting legacy. And there are gentler ones absolutely. But you never know up front.
@@angelaconnor4942 true , if get young puppy, & is raised around , other pets, cats, rabbits, fowl... , getting adults from shelter, more risky, may be ppl friendly, but some have that natural, strong, prey drive. As is with retired greyhounds, u can't "untrain" that prey drive, to chase, as were trained on live rabbits. Small pets, cats, .. greyhounds.. don't mix !! Those bullterriers, can be fun, very stubborn.. the miniature, is a better choice
@mollienight Oh, so you know my dog and my relationship with him. Everyone, and I mean everyone, loves him and comments on how friendly he is and how well behaved he is. He’s just impulsive sometimes. The operant word here being “sometimes”. I have been firm with him from day one and he definitely knows I am the alpha. His good behavior has, many times, elicited conversations about how Staffys get a bad rap. So the next time you go spouting off on something you know nothing about, try asking a question or two first.
@mollienight . My Staffy has been around people and other dogs for years and gets along with them all. Dogs, like people, behave impulsively from time to time. You are obviously just another know-it-all dog owner and not worth further comment.
If anybody knows of any aggressive dog that is unfortunate, However the gobshite holding there lead is probably responsible for the learned behaviour the dog has developed
every 2 or 3 months?? i gotta bathe mine at least once a month! he gets so dirty at the dog park cuz he runs so hard he kicks up all the dirt! as soon as we get there he gets the zoomies
I had a beautiful black female staffy, I had to let her go to my sister and brother in law because my cat and chihuahua used to bully her, she was so gentle and loving and protective but it wasn't fair to keep her, she lived a long and happy life with them
True, were bred for bull, bear baiting , way back 16, 17 century, from those old Eng. bull - bear baiting, & Eng terriers, ( used in pits to kill rats, term pit was already used) The same bull dogs terriers, & already a breed, Eng. Irish Staffies got th Eng. Pitb. , tho Staffies were also used for fighting, it was that mix( original Eng Pitb. & Staffies. got the APBT, The so called nanny" , were American Pitbull Stafordshire terriers, AKC. would not accept pitb.name, & Apbts were registered as AmStaff Entirely different breeds, today, AmStaff, Staffy, bull terrier, ( yes Hinks took th original bull & terrier, th Staffordshire , Staffy, & mixed those said, borzoi, collie, dalm. , whippet, greyhound, & created th unique egg head, no stop , & bred out th pit look, & aggression What ppl are confusin g with, are The backyard bred mutts, with th purebred s,
The term Pit came from the Bear Pit it had nothing to do with ratting and at this time the dogs used were bulldogs and Bull and Terrier crosses they called Pitdogs , Pitbull and Half and Half’s . Staffordshires came along 50 years after these dogs that fought in the Bear Pits and were a smaller dog that could be easily concealed in smaller fights in the ‘ boxes ‘ the name for arena these fights took place …..
A staffy is a high maintenance dog, way too many inexperienced people get them and then get rid of them because they can't provide enough exercise or training.
