ALL ABOUT LIVING WITH STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIERS 

FYI: RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL COMMENTS ARE DELETED.

Living with a Staffordshire bull terrier is one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have ❤

Years ago my son brought home a Staffie. My wife and I were worried at first, one reason being our toddler granddaughter. We were needlessly worried as the dog (Thor) turned out to be the greatest dog I ever saw. Thor loved the whole family and especially our granddaughter whom Thor looked after and guarded with his life. Thor passed away of old age eight years ago and we miss him to this day. The best breed of dog on this side of the galaxy!

Me and my wife have recently fostered a staffy. We're very used to having a lot of dogs and me personally I really like big dogs and didn't think I would be very impressed by him. About 6 weeks later and I am falling in love with him. Absolutely beautiful dog. So soft and loving. Got him groomed yesterday for the first time and he is looking amazing right now. When we first got him he was fat, had overgrown nails and hives all up his under carriage. Walks morning and night. Which built up to runs. In conjunction with a raw diet to eliminate cheap grain based foods eliminated the above problems. We decided that we will not be looking for a new home for him. This will be his home indefinitely.

My Staff never initiates any aggressive situations with other dogs, but she doesn't hesistate to clap back if another dog comes at her with aggression. Her motto is don't start no stuff, won't be no stuff. She's not a killer, but don't push her!! Lol

staffordshire bull terrier they don't back down from a challenge... wonderful wit ppl and children... gentle wit the elders, this is a great breed one that I like personally.

Taxi is a beautiful dog and I salute the two of you for showing us all the real Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I wish you rainbows.

I rescued Blue,an 8 year old staffi,he is my world! So loving ,gentle ,he doesn't bark,love kids,great company for me! Not one bit agressive! 💙

Great dogs indeed. You basically get a Pitbull in a smaller body. I adopted one then had to drop it off at my parents house for a while and my parents didnt want to return it. Its been 9 years now

It's nice to see all the comments from people around the world who have Staffs for family members. I'm sitting about half a mile away from the pub where the breed standard was laid out in the 1800's and nothing pleases me more then knowing that this beautiful breed has found its way around the globe. They are the pinnacle of misunderstood dogs and anyone who has ever had the pleasure of meeting them will know this. Take care of your beloved Staff and they will bring you joy like nothing else.

My staffy is beautiful.. hes so loving and sweet. So emotional.. they love their humans so much ♡

I love how they show the clips of her playing with the kids and loving with them.these dogs are perfect

I warily rescued one of these intending to just foster. Best dog ever. Everything they say in this video is so accurate. The quality of breed is amazing. Super friendly by nature. Very cooperative and desperate to please. Quick learner who doesnt need constant reminding. Needs a strong alpha figure to direct and reinforce acceptable behavior. The enthusiasm is the best part. These dogs will add years on your life as long as you are a good assertive owner.

Gain a dog loose a wife... win win .

Essentials of life 1- Food & drink. 2- Shelter. 3- Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Just really great to see how much they care for their dog, one of the most beautiful dog breeds you could ever have will never forget my grandmother's Staffordshire.

That woman has the perfect attitude and energy for a dog owner.

I had the same dog when I was living in South Africa 🇿🇦 he was my best friend that dog trained with me he was the best dog I ever had I only got good memories he passed on a few years ago he died of old age I wish I could have been there in his last days but I know he never forget me 😭

God bless the nanny dog.Once you have owned a staffy you fall in love with this beautiful soul.The most loyal,trustworthy breed in my opinion

I have a stuffy as well and she looks just like this one! She acts exactly the same but she does let out a small growl/bark when someone knocks at the door (but nothing aggressive). I LOVE STAFFIES!

honestly, this are really the best breed documentaries on YT

I've had SBT's for over 45 years. I've had ones that run hot with other dogs and some that are totally chilled in the same situation. But never have I seen human aggression in this breed. Especially good and empathetic with very young people.......

Best dog breed ever! We're with our second pure-bred and she's about to turn 14 yrs old. I came across this video as I'm looking into getting a puppy who will benefit from following our senior's awesome behavior while she's still around. Have to correct you on one thing; owner does not have to be strong. Walking dog should not involve tug-o-war or strength. Owner needs to be firm and have a good understanding of the dog's nature...any dog needs a "pack leader" and if a human doesn't take up that role then the dog will. It's not about strength - in the long run it's about leadership and firm assertion. Owners need to know how to train their pet and how to use the leash properly and needs to get rid of the silly harness fad that so many ill-informed people have taken up. Any dog hauling the owner around has to be properly corrected with proven methods - it's easy. Competent, group obedience training is invaluable; and it should be the owners that learn the most. Such training is on-going. It's not a quick course and then forget it situation. Way too many people fail with dog ownership because they have some convolted idea that a dog is a child and they have skewed notions of what obedience training is all about. Personally, SBT is the only breed I'll ever own.

When this couple said that their staffy never barks back at any dog and never shows aggression, they are 100% right! Staffies are the most happy go lucky dog there is and they just love to please everyone.

So glad that I came across this video. My boyfriend and I are looking into getting this type of breed. so far I have not came across any bad reviews and I am very happy about that. I believe that if the dog has a loving and good family you will get a loving dog. All they want to do is love you and be loved. and what I found out about this breed is that they are very protective of their family. that does not bother me at all either, there is nothing wrong with that.

I’d never have any other dog breed I just love them so much they are the best family dog you can get ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Staffy owner here. Best breed ever. Friendly, smart, great for kids and families, very clean breed.

I have two. And treat them like my own baby's, there my kids. I've had my boy from 6weeks old. And now his 10 years old. My blue girl was 12weeks old and now she's 2 years old. My two are so good. Sleep with me on my bed. Eat with me when me and my wife eat. There so good around our little baby girl. There protect her so much. Really very good breed. I love this breed. This is the best breed to have. And it all depends on the owner how there treat the dog. Like I said I've spoiled my two like my own kids. TOP BREED TO HAVE. 👍🏼🤗.

Great couple, glad to see they enjoy their dog!

Thank you for this wonderful view of a Staffy. We adopted a 1-year-old Staffy about 6-7 months ago. She is loving, sweet, cuddly and active with us and our 12-year-old granddaughter. Our girl has some bad habits but we are working on those. She is super smart and learning quickly and I have no doubt we will resolve these shelter issues with time. I know there are many people who believe these are a "dangerous breed" and that is just not true.

I taught my staff to fetch the paper in 53 minutes when she was only 3 months old. Super smart breed!!! Willing to please!

this whole staffy saga is awesome keep it coming

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the American Pit Bull Terrier had a "common ancestor," which was the pit fighting dog of England (which was developed from combinations of the original English bull-baiting dogs and vermin-killing English terriers). The idea that aggression was recently bred out of them is wrong. They never were aggressive dogs, just real good at fighting and very determined to win once in a fight. That doesn't equate to aggressiveness.

Iost my boy today missing you big lad💔💔

I rescued one 9 yrs ago her name is kachina and they are so intelligent but the wow factor is they have heightened emotional intelligence if anyone around me had tears she would comfort them immediately she is one of the greatest loves of my life

Staffy Bull’s are one of the very best breeds of dogs you can own. I love mine and will get another one soon

We had a beautiful staffy named Jazz when I was younger. She was there for most of my childhood. Wonderful dogs. We had to leave her with a family member when we moved house. She was around 11 when we left her. Really missed her after that. Now we have a lively French Mastiff pup named George. Haven't been happier in a long time :)

buying a staffy right now, perfect timing. love your videos man

Awesome video. Does everyone see this? These are the normal owners for dogs like these. People expect violent or intimidating people to have dogs like this, but it is actually more often good people like this that actually care for their dogs and got a dog for companionship or to be a working partner and not a status symbol or weapon. The Staffy is an awesome breed. I get kind of confused as to their relation with the AmPit Bull breed. I watched that video with expert Richard Stratton. I can tell that Staffies are very closely related to the AmPit Bull and that it was selective breeding, not DNA of other breeds, which seperated the two breeds, but what kind of confuses me is the separation. Do we say that the Staffy comes from the AmPit Bull, or do we say that they both came from the same stock and that the Staffy went in a different direction than the game, working AmPit Bull breed?

I could never pick any other breed than a Staffordshire. My little one comes from 3 abusive homes. He'll never suffer or live in fear ever again. He may be stubborn and sassy one minute and then totally loving the next. I wish more people could see them the way we see these little babies.

Beautiful dog! I also have one female blue bully staff and she’s great with kids but not other dogs. Has a lot of energy and is very protective of kids and home and will not back down from another dog so we are very mindful of this. You definitely half to be the pack leader.

Amazing couple with a great dog ❤

Lucky dog! Her owners love her so much!

Actually, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was first bred for the vile sport in the UK known as Bull Baiting. This was to pin a bulls nose to the floor. They were exceptional at this.They come from two breeds. One is the Bulldog. The second is The Manchester Terrier. They are are still known in England in many places as the Nanny dog.

these dogumentaries are so convenient, especially since im getting an english staff of my own this month ❤

the staffordshire bull terrier is a great breed, just a note on the comment about greyhounds,they do make great pets and are fantastic in the house. they were bred for sprinting not endurance work like border collies. a 20 minute sprint followed by snoozing the day away.

I love my Staffordshire. She has my back at all times..great car alarm. She's a best friend.I wouldn't trade her for the world.

I definitely see myself with a dog like this.

Thank you so much for these amazing documentaries!! I absolutely love them!!

BEST..... BREED..... EVER... I'm a very proud owner of a Staffy, my girl is 20 months old and she's the sweetest thing ever...

All dogs get angry, just like all people get angry. Dogs can have scuffles and fights without being deemed dog aggressive. Dogs can growl and dislike other dogs without being dog aggressive. No dog likes every dog, just like no human likes every human. The difference between a dog aggressive dog and one that may have aggressive tendencies is the intensity and the frequency of the aggression. Some dogs may be prone to have aggressive tendencies but that does not mean they are aggressive as a whole. They tend to be a confident and dominant breed, so treat them accordingly, but also as individuals. They are fantastic animals, I can't wait until I can have my own. Great videography I'm completely in love with these little guys

You won me with this great video! i am waiting patiently for my staffy to be born... wish me luck!!

great documentary,honest review and to the point,staffordshires are excellent family companions period,britain is loaded with them,you cant walk a block without seeing 20 of them,,

My staff Had a black eye patch so my parents had to name him Bullseye

My Staffy was my best friend, I loved him

best dog breed in the world. coming from a lot of experience

Hi from the UK! It's so beautiful to see this family speak about their Staffy ❤ ❤ so fantastic to see our beloved nanny dogs being appeciated round the globe 😊 They are fantastic dogs - so affectionate and loving, especially to their little humans. They are really sociable dogs and great with all people. They are good with all other dogs breeds but must be socialised properly to make sure that this happens from a young age. Our staffy (Gracie) is good as gold on her doggy daycare days and group dog walks. She also lives at home with our other dog, a huge ex racer greyhound who we rescued and they adore each other. Her besties at daycare are Spaniels, a Yorkshire Terrier and a Chihuahua lol. My mum is also disabled and walks with a walker. She knows to be really gentle around my mum and will always watch out for her to make sure she is safe. My mum will take Gracie for a short potter along the canal and Gracie is so patient never to pull the walker or my mum over and her whole attention is always fixed on making sure my mum is ok regardless of any other dog distractions. Their bond is very sweet. The only thing I would say is that Staffys are good watchdogs for children and if they feel that any of their family/children of their family are in any danger they will defend them at all costs. They will also alert family members about anyone approaching. But they are not aggressive dogs at all unless provoked like this and are very sweet, loving family dogs. I love how the family also explained that Staffys are energetic and love their walks and playtime, but that they are not like this 24/7! They are calm at home and love to cuddle up on the couch and just be with their family. Staffys are very loyal dogs and their intelligence makes them great to train as they just want to please you. They learn really quickly too 😊

Absolutely right!They are great with kids!

Love those goofy faces, I owned Staff terrier, passed away a little while ago. Most misunderstood breed.

She's an absolute beauty! 👌🏼

staffies rule,such a good breed excellent companions

Love my staff, she's 9 and still acts like a pup🐶❤

I got myself a rescue Amstaff without my wife knowing it. What i didnt know was that she was terrified of the breed, she cried for two weeks 😅

Best breed in the world so loyal in every way .

"Without my permission" Sounds like a real happy marriage.

I'm a Rottweiler guy but as my life has changed over the years I kind of feel like temperament wise a female Staffy might be the right the move for me rather than a female Rottie next time around. My Rottie passed away this past fall so I think I'll be ready for another dog next spring.

100% accurate. i miss my staffy every day

Iv got a Staffordshire bull terrier cross ole tyme English bulldog and he’s soft as muck and he’s brilliant with kids. It’s not the breed it’s the owners and how they been brought up

We have an 11 month old staffy. They are an awesome dog - reliable, athletic, very robust and strong for their size. He has no problem playing with big dogs, medium or small. Great energy and intelligence too.

Video’s like this are great, i got my staffy 6 years ago, never thought I could love an animal so much, i have had a lot of deaths in my family and friends in that time, i am alone, but my staffy helped me through the very worst of depression, she is an excellent dog, and i love her so much, shes very social and everyone in my neighbourhood knows my dog and never had problems with other dogs or children. The only reason staffies get a bad rap is because when they do bite ,which is really hard to do, they go for the face and throat, but in reality you are more likely to get bit on the hand or leg by a labrador or other so called friendly dogs, definitely the correct choice for you and your family, great video, thanks for sharing 💓 🐕. Btw, your dog is the spitting image of my staffy, even down to the patch on the chest, , great dog. How does Taxi with fireworks, my dog is scared of them, she uncontrollably shakes, its so sad , i hate fireworks, never gave them any thought about fireworks before i got my dog, it makes me sad but there’s nothing i can do, i love her and to watch her cower makes me more sad than angry 😢

Gorgeous dog!

She's the ultimate control freak

The woman says "Without my permission" several times. Then the castrated man follows up by repeating her same words. Wow! By the way, nice Staffy.

My Staffordshire Bull Terrier is excellent likes kids cats babys other dogs he is very easy to train and is very good looking! People always want to see him on walks. Never any damage and is happy we give tons of love they are super great dogs! Never barks or jumps on your body. He is very strong needs daily walks for exercise this is a good dog breed!!

I hate to admit, I was pretty judgemental about Staffys. 9.5 years ago I started looking for my first own dog (My family always had dogs) as I was about to move into my first garden flat. I wanted a Beagle. The reading online quickly put me off that idea. I sort of accidently went to look at a dog who was 14 months old and a young chav family were about to send him to a dog centre (don't think they were prepared for the long-term commitment) anyway, he was called Tyson (that soon was changed) but he was amazing. Sat in this grotty front room on the sofa with the families cat (a great sign I decided) so I took him home. He taught me so much in that first month about my own anxiety and over the top fear of having such a breed. He's an absolute nutter but in a soppy loveable way. Great with dogs (but let's be honest here, if a dog gives it, he will also give it back so don't kid yourself that these dogs are a passive pushover) however he's mostly aloof and is a classic only child. He much prefers people and a tennis ball is his God! Some very odd traits that are so endearing. The amount of personality is so much more than any other dog I've ever encountered (but so too have the Staffys I've met over the years) My Mum is pretty competitive, so when I mentioned this, she got a bit defensive about her dogs.... after a while, she had to concede that my dog has way more personality! He is hilarious and full of character. Another polar opposite about this breed is they're actually a bit of a scaredy cat! Sure they're brave and butch but they can also be total wooses. Best breed, shame that a lot of the people who own them in the UK are plastic hard men and are doing a great job of ruining the reputation of this glorious dog. I recommend them to anyone and any family. Truly remarkable to see the breeding kick in when they're.around children. It's magical

I can’t believe this video is 5yrs old.. excellent videography

What a sweetheart!

Staffies are the best. We now have 4: 2 girls and 2 boys. 3 are rescued from not so happy places.

Just what RU-vid needed 👌 great videos!!!

"not like a border Collie that's need to be outside running all day" one of my Staffie crosses is a Staff x Border Collie hahaha

they don't know that they're monsters!! kidding, but for people that are afraid of the breed, they're extensive friendliness can be scary. our last staffie was a creature that left me sometimes speechless, i could see true kindness and appreciation for other beings life in him. be it kids, be it a hurt animal like a bird, be it cats, or whatever you introduce to them, they just want to be friends. and at the same time he was very aware of any kind of danger or menacing situation and would immediately get in front and mark his presence, and there's no backing down. he also saved us from at least one burglary.

Lovely dogs. My Staffie is intelligent, loyal, friendly with other dogs and people. Very gentle and obedient. The most well behaved dog in the park.

Amazing breed , one of the best and smartest.

Wow. Bringing the dog home he could get in trouble…. I’ll leave it there so I’m not deleted. Beautiful dog. Glad it worked out.

Love these dogs, and Dogumentary TV. As always great quality videos.

Yes they are super intelligent, and amazingly affectionate, crazy attentive to their owners; especially when you are talking to them...Love our "BOSTON" But they are extremely protective...be aware of that.

I have run across a Staffie that escaped her owner's yard once. Simply the most polite and nicest dog I have ever met! Cannot believe people are actually afraid of this dog.

been waiting for these two videos (about staffies) since nearly the beginning of this channel like waiting for a movie you know will be great, so thank you.

my staffy used to wrap his tongue around each of my toes in turn. it was a sight people found very amazing. I miss him. I have a new dog now but Chester was such a bud!

I recently had two infant Staffordshire terrier infant puppies dropped on my lap. I'm bottle feeding them. Our friend rescued 6 and I'm caring for two. I can't let them go now. I am bewildered in a good way. I want to raise two well adjusted staffies. Wish me luck guys. Their names are Ella and Ruby.

Best dog in the world. You will not regret. I am awaiting my second staffy, after my first one Harvey died at 15 1/2 years. Only a few weeks to go. I can’t wait, a staffy and a Yorkie terrier. Great combination too have at home. Thanks for sharing.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 From England..

That is a beautiful dog, We have a 3 legged AM Staff. My wife was terrified of him at first, NOW we cant sit on the couch if Trippys is sitting there. For those who have never owned a dog like this. I will only ever own a am staff because he is loyal, loving, and just commands respect in public. I love him like i love my kids. He is so good with kids and loves life with 3 legs!!!

This particular English Staffordshire Bull Terrier was bred @ House of AdoraBull. To contact breeder send a "friend request" on Facebook to AdoraBull Staffordshire. Thank you~

I agree that staffies are amazing because I go 2 but 5 minuets ago my mum brought 3 more now I 5

Great video extolling the many virtues of a wonderful breed.

i have a staffy. shes the sweetest dog ever. shes really smart. like when i look at or communicate with most dogs, i just think dog, but my staffy, shes just so intelligend. her whole behaviour. i suffer from anxiety and depression, and when she sense that i get stressed and stuff, she come crawing on my lap and licks me and do everything she can to help me. and shes not even trained to. and i have a little cockatiel too. shes very kind to the bird aswell

Awesome Zeke, a great representation of the AKC staffy. Amazing production considering what you had to work with :P

Most loyal and loveing dogs you can get.

Full of energy, very demonstrative loving dog, powerfull, ready to fight with an other dog if necessary but not agressive. Not de carpet dogn need a lot to go out run and play
