STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER vs AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER 

The amstaff doesn't actually have "bull" in it's name. Just called the American Staffordshire terrier.

We rescued a staffie (English) from a horrible situation. She is the most gentle affectionate cuddle bug. Had no issues with my Rottie or Lab. They love each other & are the best of buddies.

I found my amstaff in the middle of the road at 4am after closing up my bar. I walked the rest of the way home, and he followed me the whole way. Did my due diligence to try to return him to his owner, but no one came looking for him. He is the most wonderful dog ever, and if one day I get another one, it will absolutely be an amstaff. They're incredible dogs, and I can never see myself without one now.

I got my girl from a foster home so I had no idea what she was. But over time, I had figured she had some staffy in her. I, only last month, got her results from a dna kit and she is actually half American Staffordshire! And she fits beautifully in the description that you shared. She’s an amazing dog. :)

Love the mention of the Amstaff When the white dog in the picture is clearly a Dogo Argentino

When you said „High energy levels“ my eyes immediately drifted to the sleeping dog on the sofa

Staffies are so lovable, energetic and really smart. They are the only bully breed I like and I really like them

My amstaff is the most friendly boy, don't tell the cops

I'm 60, and I've had dogs my entire life. My son's Amstaff is the most *balanced* dog I have had the pleasure to love.

The amstaff and apt are LITERALLY the same dog. The AKC took apbt that they liked, and bred them to the standard that they wanted in order to have the amstaff. Thats why they can be dual registered as AKC amstaff/UKC apbt

These dogs are pure neck and shoulder muscle

I am a staffie fan. They are such lovely dogs. We had english staffies when I grew up and they are great with children. My brother had an american staffie and she was also a great dog.

I love this channel and all your channels. Am planning on getting a staffy when I am older!!

We just bought an American Staff...she is such a wonderful dog. So I really appreciate your channel. Thanks.

I got the best of both worlds, mine is a AmStaff cross English Staff. She has the height of the AmStaff and the broadness of the English Staff. She is also the most beautifully natured dog, and a rescue dog.

My Am Staff is the best dog ever :-) Loves all people , dogs and cats!!

My Staffy is a mix of the English Staffordshire and Amstaff as well as Bull terrier. She is seven years old now and has always been loved and continues to be loved. She does have high prey drive but has become very obedient, you need to keep an eye on this breed guys, they can be unpredictable. Incredible dog breed, she is very loving and loyal. Always be cautious with this breed. I am not scared of her but she is unpredictable with smaller animals and I don't allow her to be around children unless I am there.

I agree with everything you said. It's refreshing to hear someone who knows what they're talking about.

I currently have 3 of them 2 girls and 1 boy and I got 2 for free and paid only 50 for one of them and wow these dogs are extremely great I bring them around my little brother and they are amazing they are great family dogs I definitely recommend one !

I been lonely and considering buying on of these dogs as a companion. This video helped

Our female is 1.5 year's old we have seven kids and she's incredible with kid's & strangers greatest dog I've ever owned very grateful for her everyday she completes the family

✊🏻 still working hard, love the channel and dedication ✌🏻

What a great channel. We just got our first staffy. Love from east coast Australia.

I read they was called the nanny dog because parents use to leave the children at home with the dog whilst they went out on the beer back in the victorian days.

My American staffy is mixed with beagle. 3 months and probably one of the smartest puppy I’ve seen. Shows great protection guard dog traits, loves my nieces and nephew 2, 6, and 12 . He has an independent nature where he will go off and chill by himself untill I move and then he follows to watch and protect me from the other room untill I say it okay and he will lay down and gnaw on a chew toy. Amazing breed if you take the time to bond and train and play , he loves running laps at the park. I have Been helping him be the best dog he can be since 6weeks.

Thank u for given people the tuth about amstaffs

My staffie is the sweetest most gentle boy I have ever known. I love all my dogs, and all I have ever had, but my Pepper is the best of them. Loyal, protective, obedient, and a friend to anyone kind.

I live with an English staffy, and he’s awesome! That being said my absolute favourite breed is a game bred pit bull, I used to breed them.🇨🇦

When I cant sleep I watch this video.

I recently adopted an American Staffy and I'm soo happy, he's the sweetest! Thank you so much for the valuable information you shared with all of us!!!

The Staffordshire bull terrier is one of the best breeds on the planet imo

The love of my life is my Basenji X English Staffy. She’s responsible for 80% of my happiness. I love her so much

I always enjoy your show, keep up the great work!

just got a 6 week old staffie. not sure if it is the England or the America, but one thing for sure, it is really a lovely pup. always at my back, closed to me wherever I go.

Great infos! I love Staffies. Can't wait to get one.

I absolutely adore this breed, and in my opinion are the best all around dog. Awesome video!

4 days ago we gott a staffy from a shelter.......when pucking him up, it turns out acording to his passport it's a pure bred amstaff. Stil love the stinky lummox. 6 mnth old never saw a sunset or sunrise. Outside is a little scary, and listening to me is hard, but he is getting better at it. He was not socialised but plays with other dogs, sits on his own, and follows like a champ. I'm very proud already. He will become my balance and coordination service dog when he is 1 year old. The only noise he makes is toilet time(2 high-pitched yaps), and a dog that stares too long gets a soft, anoid, sit-down growl. No aggression for food, humans, or dogs. He loves the kids. But for some reason, shepherd breeds, Dutch sheppards, especially seem to not like him or the other bully breeds in our neighbourhood

Great videos! I have a blue female staffy on the way in November. I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I'm gonna click train. Anything you got I'm gonna watch ⌚.

Dude I used the websites that allow you to pick a breed based on what is important to you. Staffy was the result. Now, I’ve had and bred 5 cairns so I’m not new to having several dogs but I hadn’t heard of littermate syndrome before I decided to get 2 staffy sisters. I’ve heard horror stories about staffy littermates and I’ve done plenty of research BUT I’d really value your opinion on this issue. Looking forward to being your student. I’ve looked into many other youtubers and you’re the best.

Totally agree, i had a staffy pup who later had a litter and i kept one of his babies, been with me and my kids all their life. Sadly finley dog daddy died 2yrs ago and his boy Harvey im making the most as he is getting on now 😢 grown up with my younger kid and omg such a protector even with my grandson, they are truly nanny dogs.

I've owned APBT's all my life but my last dog was an English Staffordshire Bull Terrier. She was hands down the easiest dog to train and the most affectionate and eager to please! The prey drive was a bit lower than my APBT's but still strong. I could never break her of her cat aggression but didn't really try since we didn't have cats. Just had to watch her when out on walks.

Subscribed! Great channel, really appreciate all the info/content you’re putting up. I’m picking up my blue staffy boy at the end of this month and I’ve taken many notes from your videos. Keep up the great work! 👌🏻👍🏻

My dog is a English Staffordshire bull terrier and i live him because he always comes to me every time i come home from school

just found your channel and am so thankful for y'all. You are doing good work!

I had an American staff when I was younger. called bruno. beautiful looking huge head. he looked like a lion compared to the normal staffy. Nice tempremant. really soft with kids. very playfull.

Love how my guy just gets to the point !! Like the channel !!

Love my amstaff shes thick and strong great dog she doesn't like strangers though I've been working with her shes 7 months but she still growls and barks and passer bys other that that most loyal pup I've had

I have an American staffie she is the most wonderful, loyal companion. Although, she was 12 months old when I got her, she wasn't house trained and socialisation was none existent. She is now 4 years old and come on leaps and bounds but very dog reactive. I'm just so greatful that she found me and didn't end up in the wrong hands.

Have a 3/4 staffy and 1/4 cane corso has all the traits of the staffy with a lot more size he has tons of energy but is the most loving dog ever

Thanks for the video. I took in a young dog about a year ago who turns out to be an Amstaff/blue heeler mix. I was a little alarmed when I read about the history of the Amstaff breed, but I quickly found that he is a gentle sweetheart dog who is eager to please. At 45 pounds, he is a little small for an Amstaff, but about average for the blue heeler. His coat and colors look very Amstaff. He is very trainable. I have since taken in a German shepherd and the two dogs get along very well. It's hard to tell which one is more intelligent.

I've got one of each. Couldn't decide. There absolute awesome companions.

They are unbelievably wonderful dogs...they are so clever, they literally understand everything what we’re talking about in the family ! Like the other day, he ate two pieces of the cake off the table the , and when my wife started to talking about where the cake has gone ...., after little while she realized, who is the the guilty regearding to the cake 🤣🤣! He knew he was busted and my misus saw that straight away , it looked so funny 😂 😂😂

Here is the interesting history of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier... The Staffordshire Bull Terrier originates from the old Bull and terrier dogs of the UK, which were a cross between the Old English Bulldog and various terriers such as the White Terrier and Black and Tan Terrier. There were also Irish versions of this dog that used Irish Terrier admixture. The English Bull and Terrier dogs did not have one standard, but had three main types: the Cradley Heath type (more bulldog characteristics than Terrier characteristics, shortest type), the Walsall type (similar to the Cradley Heath type, but with some Whippet bred in for speed and agility which made it the tallest type) and the Darlaston type (more Terrier characteristics than bulldog characteristics, medium height). Another type of Bull and terrier would also be created called the Hinks Bull and Terrier. The Cradley Heath type would later be renamed the “Staffordshire Bull Terrier” and the Hinks Bull and Terrier would be renamed the “Bull Terrier” in which the word “and” was left out. The Walsall Bull and Terrier would make its way to the USA and there, it was developed into the American Pitbull Terrier by adding some Irish Bull and Terrier into the bloodline and the American Staffordshire Terrier was bred from this line. The rest is history. Here is a family tree of SBT, AST and APBT: ibb.co/P1hTbZH Source: molosser.co/staffordshire-bull-terrier/

Just about to rescue my second amstaff. Couldn’t own a different breed.

Brilliant Video bravo ! My favorite are the English Staffies, I have owned 5 in the last 40 years. I think the Am Staffs are just not as smart generally in my 40 years exposure to more than 20 of these Dogs but still wonderful but generally can be more aggressive if not trained properly due to the Pit Bull and Boxer influence on their larger size. Thanks for a great educational Video for those interested in this amazing Breed.

My English Staffy would help the robber

I have an Amstaff and he's my boy lol he has the worst breath ever but he's a big baby and loves my kids He's 68lbs with full prick ears, and the funniest dog xD

I’ve got one of each. Great dogs.

I love my staffie all the world, he’s so beautiful. I have to say amstaff isn’t as pretty but that’s my opinion. The best nanny dogs my whole family get almost as excited as him when they see him

Great video Staffies are the best doggos!

I’m so excited, I’m going to get my staffy next weekend 🥰

The whole segment around the time 4:00, is spot on mate 💯

Never had 1 before. Adopted a beautiful lil girl. She has won my heart over. I was always a German shepherd guy. The pound only has pitbulls now. Well I love her. Completely different dog than what I Kno. Mine doesn't like fetch. I thought I got a broken dog. Lol

We have an Irish blue...and shes 16 months...and shes a good girl..

Awesome channel. I love my English / Amstaff cross. Best dogs ever

😊we have about a 13 month old part staff and Pit,she’s rescue true loves being near us. A lot of energy.

I own an American Staffy, but I think the English Staffy is prettier.

My English staffie is my world. Best breed ever. So .sweet .kind and gentle,

Brothers beard going haywire

Hope your reading this you should make videos for people who are allergic to dogs And guard dogs that can live in extremely small spaces

My 11 month old male amstaff is a beast. 105 pounds of solid muscle and is a little taller than the usual amstaff .did a DNA test to see exact.y what he was and he is 80% amstaff and 20% pit bull. Vet says he could be 115-120 at 3 years old

Just lost our 14 yo America staffy last March 😢 best Nanny dog in the world.

Absolutely love my Staffordshire bull terrier Rocky he’s 14 weeks old and knows a lot of commands

you forgot one thing... if you go somewhere even just 5 minute or even just in another room when you return they get excited as they didn't see you for a day

Just adopted an american staffy (mixed with a little basenji). Great channel, thanks!

I have an American (Canadian) Staffordshire terrier mix with German shepherd. She is wonderful, comical and spoiled rotten. ❤

I love and raise American Akitas and find them easy to train, chill, even to excellent temperament. They almost ended up with poor reputation like the pit bull terrier because of clueless humans in their pack. Our neighbor's blue Amstaff was a sweet, intelligent handsome boy who fell in love with one of our female Akitas. I've never met a Pitbull, Staffy, Mastiff or Akita who is not as sweet as sugar in nature. It's their humans that force them to become aggressive or fearful, which does not come naturally to them.

British staffies look different than they did back then, they where taller, weighed more and had a slightly longer muzzle, the Irish staffy is the closest to the old type today

I have a Australian hunting staffy she is the most sweetest dog I ever had

I remember you've told that Staffies are a good first-time dog especially for those who want a guard dog, so does that apply to Amstaffs as well? I never had a dog before but I've been involved with dogs and learning about them all my life, have a very good understanding and knowledge of obedience training, setting boundaries, rules and limitations and I do consider myself capable of being a calm and consistent leader, so would it be more challenging to go for the slightly larger version of the Staffy?

We just got a dog from the local rescue. I thought she was a mix breed like pitbull and staffy so my wife had the dog dna tested and she is Amstaff and Staffordshire bull terrier so i think i got a good mix

In the uk staffys don’t have those negative views still, there a regular occurrence and both drs,ambulance staff and police are very fond of them and love to play with them. I’ve only ever had an encounter with 3 aggressive staffys and they were from an owner well known for having aggressive dogs off the lead. For the most part they are loyal to a fault however, they can become aggressive if mistreated or bitten too many times, they are an extremely energetic breed and need a lot of exercise, mental and physical stimulation, there great at dog show tasks they can be dog aggressive again depending on there background. The maximum height for an English staffy should be 17” if it’s higher it will be deemed as a fault under the kennel club. They are small but muscular. Don’t just get one because there cute. There a lot of hard work, please be prepared.

I WISHD ID HAD BOTH

I got the best of both worlds my boy is Am staff X English staffy he is the best

Terrific video. I have unexpectedly ended up with an English Staffie (a colleague's break up puppy that did not work out). Had him a month, and what a great puppy he is, just so chill - I'm interested in the 'job to do' comment - what jobs should my staffie do? My previous dogs have been shepherds, and they have been very keen to keep guard.

Love staffers had two, first sadly died at 14,my existing dog is 12 she is a great dog,an Irish blue,very fit, and wad easy to train, she is so obedient and I can take her anywhere without a lead,although I don't ,would have another in a heart beat

Just put application to adopt a 10 week old Staffordshire. Not Sure on her bloodline. When I inquired about my app. The volunteer told me that the puppies’s sister was adopted and she was 100% Staffordshire Bull Terrier. If and when I do her from the volunteer or foster mom i probs need to find out if she American or British. The fee is!$550. for dogs under a year. What’s ur opinion?

I'm sorry, but after 3 minutes of hearing ENGLISH STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER and AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER i had to post this. There is just STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER ,AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER and AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER. (Staffie, Amstaff and APBT). Please stop using breed names that do not exist.

Love your videos, they pretty educative. I am considering moving to the UK from somewhere in Africa and I have 3 dogs which I don't presume to be a mix of the Amstaf and the Staff, so the question is which one of these two breeds is illegal in the UK. How will my dogs be judged, either as legal or illegal, if I want to bring them to the UK. Thanks.

🤔😁I rescued my girl sight unseen, she is a 100+/-lb American Staffordshire and she is also my service dog...definitely a difference in her muzzle...changing minds everywhere we go and there are many owners we come across and everyone tells us how good their doggos are...I wouldn't trade her for the world and never will have any other breed...never has been aggressive to food or people...I cook for her and season for us and we are one meal a day eaters so she picked up on our eating habits and she enjoys a whole chicken every 2-3 days with quality kibble to graze on throughout the day😉👍💞

Hey, just a friendly heads up. There is no American Staffordshire Bull Terrier! It's just American Staffordshire Terrier. And the white dog in your thumbnail is actually a Dogo Argentino, which is a type of Argentine Mastiff!

Awesome video, I do prefer the Am-Staff though.

Love this Channel! 😉. But u seriously remind me of Eddie Hall

Mine are very sweet around people, but they do not do well with other animals they don’t know. They have cornered many a possum and don’t like any dog they don’t know.

there is this called BREEDISM in this world... these dogs dont have the right guidance or leadership it takes to own one.... they get a bad rap. My sister had a pitbull and believe it or not he lived with my 17 year lap dog without any problems... and the pit bull diddnt even show any type of aggression to my infant nephew... however my lap dog was a SOB... he bit the shit out of everyone especially me.

Amstaff or American bully classic? For a first guard dog for a English town house with a 1,000 square foot garden? (16 x 65 feet) Good with kids Most affordable to own Health issues

I've got a 15 month old Staff/AmStaff x and are more than happy as she es the slimmer head and figure and most importantly she is bigger than a pure Staffi. But I agree that they are so similar it really doesn't matter. Because of the size, I would always prefer the cross or pure AmStaff. But that's because my husband is quite tall and I grew up with German Shepards so I need a bit of a size :D Nice video. Thanks for that

I Love my amstaff

Have my, what I think is an Amstaffie, from a rescue center, full of beans, great with the kids and other folk, loves annoying the cat 😄, I’d like to send you some photos of him to try an help establish if he is an Amstaffie, the center had him down as a pocket bully but I don’t think they are correct at all.

Wouldn't you say one is more prone for endurance. We hike a lot and long distances 😅
