STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER VS PITBULL 

One other similarity with both breeds, is they both look like Seals 🦭 when you put your hands over their ears. 🤩

8:46 i’ve had Pitbulls and Staffy bull terriers practically all my life. I started with the American Staffordshire terrier that my son brought home that nobody wanted. She was a brindle, and then my son’s girlfriend got a gray pitbull, and when they no longer could keep the dogs I adopted them. As the years went by I kept adopting the Pitbulls. I’ve had them for many years, and I’m always so sad when they die. They made me so happy to have them part of the family. They were wonderful loving family dogs, so as I got older and I became unable to walk anymore, I bought a golf cart and my recent staffy bullterrier runs beside it as I drive. He is so happy and lovable, he wants me to do this every single day and I if the weather is good we will go. They are the best breed of dog I have ever wanted. My recent staffy’s name is Jax. ❤

Rooster : I got my Staffy as a pup. She has turned me into a walking machine. At the same time enjoying her company . She is 8 months now and I have lost 18 lbs. feeling great and loving her every minute

I adopted my staffy 6 months ago, he looks exactly like the one from the picture! He’s such a sweet lil guy!

I have a AKC registered Staffy, female, 6 months old and a solid 25lbs. intelligent, affectionate, loyal and my grandchildren LOVE her - pound for pound, one of God's best gifts to the dog world. (Kudos) 😇

Well done joe you did a good job of showing your enthusiasm just as Will does 💪💪

I have a 2 year old female red nose pit bull , she is probably the most affectionate dog I’ve ever owned and I’ve had lots of different breeds , just loves people

Thank you so much! I'm looking to adopt an amstaff from a shelter, but they have her listed as a pitt. My family has owned pit bulls, German Rottweilers, and shi-tzus my whole life, so when I took the amstaff home for a dog visit day, she acted NOTHING like the Pitts I've owned in the past, so I started doing research and I am so thankful I now know I can register her as an amstaff, (my apartment managers are assholes to pittbulls) I can't wait to go get her!!

I absolutely love STAFFIES they are such affectionate dogs ,they are like teddy bears ,mine follows me like a shadow .

This channel keeps getting better!

Great job dude. Very supportive of the ethos of Fenrir.

If you are into obedience , parcour or trick training, staffies are amazing learning machines. It's extremely easy to build up their drive and focus combined with a high willingness to please and bidability.

I could never make my dog live outside and not be allowed in the house, I even let my dog sleep on the bed.

OMG!! Thanks for this, so many of my fellow Americans hate it when I say English Staffy because they think it’s the exact same as a Pitbull.

I’ve owned a Staffy and now an American pitbull. Great experience with both. A few tussles with other dogs. Very cool around people. Easily excited, not aggressive tho.

Thank you! I came to this video to learn more about the differences between both breeds and actually got that information from an actual person and not a robot voice saying the obvious over and over. It's also pleasant to hear someone talk about american bulls without just calling them killing machines and talking about the ACTUAL problem of bad owners. Every dog is wonderful and different in its own way. And people need to learn how to accommodate their dog with training instead of just buying it and just staring at it all day.

Its funny how I got my Staffordshire bull terrier around the time you made this yt account :) Id be happy to see another video of how to stop him pulling with less theory and more practice tips

When I was 8, I found 3 abandoned stafffy puppies in the alley. I took them home, and they all grew up to be beautiful and strong. We kept the boy and rehomed the two females to family. The Boy was named Chulo and he was an absolutely monster. He was so muscular and had stamina for days. He used to pull me on rollerblades for hours. He onced faught two loose dogs that ran at me when we were on one of our walks. He did not let them get close to me and absolutely destroyed the other two dogs. One was a Rottweiler and the other was some sort of Shepherd mix. He died at around 12 from health issues.

Staffys are my favourite dog breed. Great personalities and temperament

Staffordshire bull terrier is more my type of dog thank you for the video it really helped

You are absolutely right. Had both breeds Staffordshire is better with children.

My pit bull didn't require much exercise but we played and took walks. I trained her in Nylabones and she never bothered my stuff. We did pet therapy at a nursing home and a library. Everybody loved her and vice versa. She was pretty much perfect.

I love staffs they are so friendly

I've breed pitbulls and staffies. I adored my Pitbulls, but they need way more attention. If you take them out in public, you must always be aware of what your dog is looking at. I never had a bad experience with the pitbulls, but that's because i was always on my guard. And I spent lots of time training them. Staffies have become my favorite, by far. I have property, but I can leave them outside all day and they never go past the boundaries. We have hundreds of sheep, on the otherside of the fence, but they never bother with them. We have several horse on the other side, but again, the staffies aren't phased, and simply socialize with the horses. Going up to the fence to say hello. Staffies will eagerly play all day, or, just lay about in the sun, or the shade. They are great with my grandkids, and put up with anything. My oldest dog (whom I've spent 12 years with is the smartest dog I've ever seen). He follows a dozen hand signals, and knows hundreds of words and commands. I've also breed blue and red healers, of which I had some very smart dogs, but no smarter than the staffie. The difference is the healers would bite my kids when they were toddlers. I much prefer the trusted staffie.

My Blue Staffy is 12 weeks old and just hates going outside, hope this changes

I have a pit staffy mix and she is the best dog ever! So incredibly sweet, always down to snuggle but also very stubborn haha she is an angel and so well behaved and so good with people, kids and other dogs.

I said it before and then I’ll say it now this channel is the best on RU-vid

We have a staffy we rescued 6 years ago and hes the best! He loves my autistic daughter and is so good with her. I'd never have another breed now

It all makes sense now..my staffy has basically eaten my whole house, LOVES TO CUDDLE, & VERY much a hunter !! But he's really just a 75 lb " lap" dog 🥰

Thanks, this explains a lot for me. I have a mix between the two breeds. My son called him "Keg", thinking he'd be more stocky & barrel-like, but he's more like the pitbull terrier...lean, muscular & needs a lot of exercise. He has all the other traits you mentioned in both breeds...beautiful, but very needy. He is my 3rd child 😅

i have a staffy cross pit so best of both worlds

We took in a stray. We assumed it was a black and white pit, but soon realised there are several kinds of Pits. Thank you for this video. Now I believe shes a Staffordshire because you explained her behavior spot on. At first we were concerned due to the hype about aggressive, malicious dog attacks..and rightly so..but I feel much better. She's a great dog, turns out. Stubborn, but very smart and we plan to give her what she deserves to live happily.

I love Staffys! I rescued one and he's the best! Easy to train once you establish trust and provide for their needs. We are best buds and have been from the start. All I did was offer to play with him and we did for less than an hour. Took him home and after a short period of checking out his new home nestled up to me and went to sleep. Now I don't know what I would do without him. He's very attentive and eager to please has a moderate prey drive and has helped with some vermin on the farm. His favorite prey are Pheasant and Partridge which he has yet to catch not for lack of trying, it's so interesting to watch him stock the birds. I think he would make a great hunting dog but most of all he's great companion.

I find that I can't disagree with anything you said. I will say that I have had substantial interaction with countless pits and staffies. Have raised & bread both & have found that "pitties" can be extremely affectionate as well and the training between the two is practically identical. But yeah Pitties Need some of that ruff stuff, even aggressive affection HARD squeezes and face smooshing. Blessings to you and yours 😊

I have a Staffie. Well, his mother is Staff, his father is Dalmatian, and he is Staffie shaped ( mostly but its closer to pit bull shape if Im honest ) but with Dalmatian Colours, including perfectly symetrical black eyes ) - He is absolutely adorable and a real Lady magnet. The only thing I have issues with, is that he has been a real pain to train. He is 18 months now and he is getting there, but its really hard work! He loves to run at people and dogs, but he only wants to play, and tyhat can be intimidating to people and to the dogs too! I have mostly got him to a level where I tell him to WAIT or STAY and he drops to the floor and stares at the other dog ( he still runs up to people ) and most of the time, he will wait until the dog has passed, but if the other dog shows ANY attention to him, he goes. This is really annoying me, and I am always ending up saying that he is not vicious and he isnt, he is a bloody softie, but people are sometimes genuinely scared of him just because he does look a bit pit bull-ish. But I love him and he absolutely adores me and so the idea that I could rehome him, is simply not even a thing... That will NEVER happen.

Before 1935 our uk dogs looked the same as irish and American dogs dna and RNA testing will tell you they are the same breed.The irish and English took our dogs to the USA.The Pitbull Staffordshire terrier Staffordshire bull terrier are the same .There are breeders in the south of the uk that have lines going back 160 years and the dogs look the same not show standard they look like pitbulls old time Staffordshire bull terriers.The irish have kept the Staffordshire bull terrier the same as the American breeders .In 1956 to 57 30 English Staffordshire bull terriers were brought over to the USA for bigger heads and chests for the show dogs.Most channels give you wrong information.None show bred Staffordshire bull terriers can be up to 70 80lbs here in the northeast England theres loads.Ive had Staffordshire bull terriers up to 93lbs at 4 yr old and in the 90s i had bred the biggest tallest old time Staffordshire bull terriers or American pitbulls people call tbem.

I have a staffy lab mix she is amazingly sweet, loves to cuddle and about loves kids and other dogs. She hates be left alone. Although she can be stubborn sometimes and loves to destroy her toys she is a joy to be with. The only issue i have is she isn't a fan of walking. She will walk to the house next to ours and put on her breaks and there is no moving her farther without dragging her.

We just rescued a brindle Staffy and she is absolutely perfect. She is the most lovable dog I've known. We've only had her one day and she hasn't left my side. I'm absolutely in love with her. Best decision I ever made for sure. She's really such a big love bug.

I’ve owned both. American Pit still here. Staffy left years ago. She was awesome. Bokke is pretty good. Still young. Thanks for video

Hi I have a 6year old female staff & a 10 week old Am Staff / Pit bull, so far so good, I am home most days so am able to train my new addition, also my Staffy has been AMAZING role model

Great video long time amstaff owner and we now have a pittystaff lol that's what I call him he's half amstaff and half pitbull. By far the best breed in my opinion ( all bully breed's lol)! Keep up the great work and thank you for putting out the message about these awesome dogs!!! P.S. next pup we get is going to be a staffy!!!

I just got my first staffy, Carly, and I adore her

I ❤ Lola (Staffordshire bull terrier x pitbull) with every ounce of my heart and soul. Dont know what il do when she isnt around. The most beautiful pure soul

Hours to rip apart? Bruh, mine takes minutes. However they aren't as mouthy as other dogs. The chewing and nibbling can be easily controlled and only lasts a few short period of their puppyhood. True, they aren't meant to be outdoors. They just love sticking to their human. Two pit owner here.

I got a 1 year old angry ans scared dog... He was one year old.... Now he is 9 years old... my baby... just pure love!!!!

I had a female staffy she was 130 lbs. of pure muscle and she was over 2'6" at the shoulders. she was very, very intelligent, and super protective of me. I got Lady from a animal pound she was about 6 months of then. I was 17 years old at the time and she lived and I enjoyed 4 wonderful years with her. and some man shot and killed her in my yard. he thought she was a pittbull dog. and I have served 27 year's in prison for shooting and killing him. I have not had a dog companion since and I am 48 years old now. I would give anything to have my Lady back

We've recently had a puppy come into care needing surgery and we think she's some kind of stafford. We are doing our best to take her everywhere and expose her to many people, dogs, animals, vehicles and so on. She's definitely very friendly and gentle natured, but we want to try and foster that as much as possible.

We've had our puppy for 4 weeks now. The people we got him from said he is a staffy but we think they may have said that because a serious mayling by a pair of pits was in the news and they really needed a home for him. We think he may be a pit or even a pit/staff mix. Is there any way to tell at this age?

Great info in these videos but it would be really great if you guys would use more comparison pictures throughout the video..

The American Putbull Terrier is actually surprisingly not recognized by the American Kennel Club, it is however recognized by the United Kennel Club

pretty much interesting video. Thanks 😉

I have a 12yo Staffordshire. I adopted her from a friend who couldn’t keep her. She’s been a fantastic dog and it’ll be a long time before I get another pet after she passes because of how irreplaceable she is. Also it’s good her fur doesn’t accumulate too much dirt because she absolutely hates taking baths. 😂

I want a staffi

Just got one full on energy

I have a Staffy/Lab Mix. He’s now in his adolescence and is easily to live with, but as a puppy he was a terror lol. He used to destroy everything but I trained him well not to

I have a Staffy and he's the softest, freidnliest dog i've ever had, my daughter was only 4 when I got him as a pup and he loves her so much and he loves her firends visiting, he plays on the trampoline with them too, he will defend himself against dogs that bite him, thankfully I've always had him on the lead on the few occasions he has being bit, but, he always assumes other dsogs will play with him, and cats actually, oh, lets not forget, he gives great hugs, not kidding at all, he often comes over to place his head over my shoulder and stays there with his wagging tail

Was the Dogo Agentino created from the American Pitbull?

I have a large rednose pitbull. And for someone who is high energy myself he works great. But I'd admit his specific line of pitbulls are not for everyday dog owners. He's powerfull, intelligent, pushing 90 lbs, and has the energy and drive of a well bred jack Russell. My wife and son can't take him on a casual walk because they simply are not strong enough to stop him if another animal flips his switch. They're one squirrel away from a broken tail bone. And I have hard wood and his zoomys are so powerfull he slid once and busted through my reptile tank and the sheetrock. I've had my head busted open to the skull playing. (He headbutted me with his teeth, immediately looked like someone told him santa wont real lol)I've been drug down hills. He can snap cattle bones in half so playing tug of war with something small is dangerous and thats not his fault.Let's just say those first two years would have been to much for people not used to hounds or working dogs etc and he'd have found himself in the pound for no reason other than he's alot of dog and required alot of patience and confidence to train and socialize. All in all everyone is amazed at his temperament, guardian traits, physicality, power all while not realizing I know them and they would have sent him to the pound by around 1 year old for being a good dog with no leadership cause they think companion/pet line traits are "good". Personally I think those traits say the dogs retarded. Non aggressive, accepting of strangers, lethargic, submissive, reactive (with fear or anxienty). imo a dog thats ganna be a legend is full of wanderlust from born to 1. And a straight hellraiser 1-2. By 5 Years old you'll have a beast. I'm not sure about other places but here in VA dog fighting was very active well into the early 2000s so many of our local lines are directly traced back to fighters. Within only a few generations. I'm not not sure if that effects our pool of "putbulls" physically or mentally in comparison to a general pitbull from say north Carolina which tend to look and act more like hounds.

Respect.. I'm from the Netherlands and love your channel. Finally a explanation that's accurate after all the bullshit about these great dogs

Stimulisation ? So we r just inventing words now are we lol 😂 best misspeaking I’ve ever heard man that made me giggle 🤭

I have a 9 month old staffy from Absolute in Louisiana. Great easy to train dog. Wish I could upload pics. She going to win a ribbon. Staffy is a great dog for everyone. Anyhoo glad your in the United States now bro!!! What state you in?

My staffy looks like a pit bull! He’s got long legs too and he’s only 7 months and already weights 18kg (not fat, he looks athletic) I got told he could be an Irish staff ?

They look extremely similar to eachother honestly

I have a "pit-mix" from a shelter (at age 6); a continuing challenge; loving, but unpredictable

Can you please give me a help to verify my dog what breed exactly...

Wow Jake Pauls aged.

Sad to say they are banned in my city it sucks that bad owners cause discrimination against the breed

Need a staffy!Great vid thanks,

Very true about pit bulls, the drive and gameness comes from them being terriers. They’re not stupid dogs and you must demand respect from them like a Dalmatian

Great video. Can you or will do amstaff channel. From a proud amstaff owner from aus

8:46 looks exactly like my dog photo on left.

They were once the same breed of dog,I suggest reading books by Richard Stratton or Dianne Jessop.

Lots of people think the Staffy is a pitbull.

An irony that they wanted ferocious fight dogs but pitbulls overall I find to be one of the gentlest among the breeds 💖

I am simply in love with Staffy....Can someone tell me if it is a good dog for first time owner? We are pretty active family and 1-2 hr of play with our canine, we can easily afford.

what happen if you cross a staffy with a pitbull blue?

Will apparently has the same barber as Mophead Johnson.

A common reason why people don't like staffies is because of the idiots who parade them around like some kind of accessory. Any well brought up staffie I have met has been a lovely dog

I agree with most of what you said, except that staffies are better with kids. I live with an English staffy but used to breed game bred pit bulls, and I can tell you there is nothing more perfect than a game bred pit bull!!

During the "Great Depression of the 1930's" the American Kennel Club added American Pit Bull Terriers to their registry under the name ofStaffordshire Terrier.... With that being said they're both the same breed except the "Staffordshire terrier" is bred slightly different under the AKC standard

I love my englisch staffie! She wil be 10 years in november

Everything isn't a Pitbull. Stop Mislabeling dog breeds. Every breed has there a short way of saying its breed. Only uneducated people say the stupid stuff out of their mouths. Pit Bull is a short way of saying American Pit Bull Terriers. Pit Bull isn't a Blanket, Umbrella, or Category for multiple Breeds. That is a lie and we don't lie here. Bulldogs are Blanket, Umbrella, Category, and Group for Multiple Breeds. Terriers are Blanket, Umbrella, Category, and Group for Multiple Breeds. Mastiffs Blanket, Umbrella, Category, Group for Multiple Breeds. Shepherd Blanket, Umbrella, Category, Group for Multiple Breeds. Common sense but most of you people do not have common sense and you’re on Think past zero. Everything isn’t a Pitbulls. Stop Mislabeling dogs breeds. If you don’t have a pedigree = MuttBulls. Pit bulls are animal aggressive and not human-aggressive. UKC and ADBA dogs are American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers Mix, American Bullys, American Bandog Mastiffs, and American Bandogge Mastiffs Tagged and Hanged under the Breed American Pit Bull Terriers. Everything isn’t a Pitbull. Pit Bulls Aren’t Blue, Gray, Merle, or Tri-Color. Pit Bulls have Bruce Lee's Body and Narrow Heads. Pit Bulls are Animal Aggressive and Not Human Aggressive. Pit Bulls isn’t a Blanket or Umbrella Term. Pit Bulls is a Short way of Saying American Pit Bull Terriers.

I was at the dog park & my staffy/Am pit bull mix was bouncing across the park and someone asked me what breed she is. I said, "She's part Kangaroo". "Oh, wow!", he said. "That's so cool!" I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth, lol. She bounces like she's built on springs!

Geez I don't kmow if I have a Staffie an AmStaff an American Bully or Bull Staff. One has a slightly longer muzzle is eternally patient, loves and recoginzies smaller weaker critters, and is super energentic, loves to run, and exercise. The other is more snub muzzled, a born leader, and makes sure the other one knows its place. However, has no where near the prey drive, or exercise needs of the other. Both are extremtly loyal and affectionate. Any ideas out there, RU-vid land? I adore them both.

I have both one pitbull that's just turned 2 yr old pitbull today on Christmas n a 11 month old staff that's will turn 1 in January both r great wit eachother never had one fight or a truffle I always had mutts great dogs to have they both love cuddling n play time they will get mad at u when u ain't ready for bed n they r hahaha but at the end they love all dogs n humans

I had a brindle cross, bitch, built like a tank, loving, gentle and loyal, lived to 16 years old, wonderful dog.

I adopted a 5 month old part female Lab (80%) and part Staffy (20%) that just turned 8 months old. However she is much more Staffy in appearance. My other dog is a 3 year old male part Australian Cattle dog and Brittany Spaniel that looks just like a Dingo except the ears are down. Touching to see how much they like each other. They play off and on all day in the house and back yard. I am retired so take them for a couple walks a day that adds up to 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day. It’s crazy how strong she is and seems not to care if she tumbles down the stairs or off the couch. She is still young and does not know her strength. The male dog on occasion is like a bowling pin when the “tank” runs into him. Funny but concerning. He lets her know when he’s had enough. Her lab genetics makes her a powerful swimmer when I go to the lake. Came back from a week by a lake where she swam about 3 hours a day. She likes to put her head under the water. Is this a Staffy trait too?

I’m looking to determine which one I have. She’s 3 months and vet took blood test but it was inconclusive

My friend was an upholsterer and his pit will could eat a whole couch in 2 weeks. So it wasn't good for the clients so he had to go out and get a couch off the street just for his dog to eat every couple weeks.

I have a Pit bull since he was 2 Years old things for him to chew on were bought immediately he understood what's his and what's not I've never had him chew as much shoe because he's always had his own if I ask him where's his toy he brings me a rope or pull ring not a stuffy because they belong to the kids you can even leave a plate of food around him he won't touch it I say all of this to say pit bulls are highly intelligent and will learn if you are consistent with training

Have an xlbully mix with staffy most easiest dog to train she's 14 months and wow a service dog full of love even with protection work traning on the basis of 101 still she would be fully trained for this by age2 beautiful amazing temperament all muscle and fearless

They are the same breed they come from the same stock but its like breeding the taller ones together and the shorter ones together. They both show no signs of quit they will keep going and going until they are literally exhausted and pass out. They are the best dogs in the world they love their owner like no other.

3:50 i don't know how accurate this info is. my male Staffordshire bull terrier is 48 cm or 19 in.tall at the shoulder and weighs 23.5 kg or 52 lbs.. and hes still filling out. he is not fat he is not over fed. he is very muscular. he is also 100% pure bread.

Thanks for this!

What about American Staffordshire Bull Terriers?

The difference between staffs and pit bulls are always vague. I’ve never heard anyone give an account for how the staff got its long legs. I have a 3/4 staff 1/4 greyhound. People who are in the know think she’s pinball.Makes a lot of sense when you think the best fighting dogs came from Ireland and the Irish are also keen for hunting.I’m suggesting the origin of the pitbul came from designing a lurcher …. A greyhound to catch up and the staff for the attack = a pit bull is born

I'm still confused I was told my dog was a staffie mix but he weighs about 70 lbs. I read somewhere that pitbulls are that size and staffies are actually no more than 40.

My Pitbull has proven that chewing is the way to go when he is bored. He has destroyed all his toys. His main goal it to take their "heart" out AKA the squeaker, has chew all his beds and blankets, the chairs, couch, cardboard, pens, pencils, sticks, clothing, shoes, you name it, and recently has started on vinyl flooring. He gets exercised, but to get him tired for a few hours happens when he gets to play with other dogs, he absolutely loves it.

I recently adopted what seems to be a cross between a Lab and a Staffy. My husband says if it turns out to be a cross of a pit bull he’s getting rid of it. I love her so much. What’s the best way to know for sure what breed we have? So we can put this matter to rest.

My Pittie is very sensitve. I tell him I am dissappointed in him when he acts out he looks heart broken and hangs his head.after a few minutes I hug him and tell him I love him. Thor was slightly hard to train. I used some of your training methods to train him plus studying the breed. Thor is great around children and people he has never met. He goes to stores and meets people twice a week. IHe gets very excited at ( am thursdays and sundays which are His days to go to town. I love my pittie Super smart and loving.
