The East Anglian Staffordshire Bull Terrier Display Team | Crufts 2019 

There are dogs one can trust one's kids to, though.

Feel the same :) I was over the moon when I spotted it on my recommended list.

They simply can get the Staff! & aren't they doing a excellent job 🥰 I've always said Rip my Duke was the gentleman of Nanny Doggs, miss him these Dogg's are literally angel 🐕 sent 🥰

They are Amazing Dogs and an Incredible Breed! Unfortunately, the Breed, like alot of others...has had its share of "Peddlers" who sell "impure Puppies" and charge Mega Dollars for Phony Papers that make them worth more than they are! There are Breedes who have been meeting the "Demand" for even "Smaller" Staffys than they already are! They do this by Breeding in "French Bulldogs"! The greatest Tragedy is that the Courage and Tenacity that sets the Breed Apart, has been Bred out of a Great Deal of Dogs! I woukd Never purchase a Staffy without seeing His Sire or Dam run down a Hog and take Hold of it's EAR and stay in Hold!

I live in N.Y. and one of my Brit neighbors moved his sweet staffie over here. He is one of the loveliest dogs I have ever met.

Staffies are fantastic dogs I had one as a kid and she was so gentle, loving and affectionate she used to sleep with me or my sister in our beds. I get so pissed off when people say staffies are vicious they get a bad rep because of bad irresponsible owners

Very insightful comment.

@Adrian At And T A lot of people have killed and mauled people throughout history. But we are talking about dogs, in particular a breed that is not an actual breed when it comes to "pit bulls".

@Adrian At And T SBTs, on the other hand have been bred to live as part of the family in small cottages. Being human friendly being key to survival (human aggressive dogs were killed, historically).

Why don't you? It's a waste of time having no dog. I should know since I wasted 16 years between Jack and eddie… one whole dog less in life is how I see it now. And in my dreams, eddie and Jack get along amazingly well.

Possibly but she could just be running her nose as a nervous thing too. Btw it's Tourette's

I was wondering too. Usually when one rubs their nose they use one hand. She kept using both in succession.

Could be shes just a little excited and nervous too. As a kid i used to do things with my hands, like touching my nose or biting my nails when i was nervous.

It'd probably a phase of sorts. When I was a kid I had a time where I would do "monster claws" with my hands and open my mouth in a "raaawr" kind of way. I don't even remember it, I only know because of my sister and pictures. I don't know if that has a name (does ocd fit this behaviour?) But I consider it normal for a kiddo.

Some dogs need treats instead, the preferred method though would be toys since you don't have to worry about weight gain.

Modern official breeders are also 'killing' the breed. Today's staffies are like short-legged little bulldozers. The original dogs were nothing like that.

Ella Spence Ella Spence nah that’s puppy peddler nonsense. A myth the bullie community created.. just like the 150lb xl “pitbull”, obvious hybrids with hung papers, passed off and registered as American pitbull terriers. The only dog people can bend the standard to their wills🤦🏾‍♂️ the proper and original “umbrella” term is bulldog, or bull-terrier cross. You don’t call Belgian malinois “mini” German Shepard’s, or Rottweilers XL Doberman’s 🤣🤣 it’s nonsense that people, concede to, and perpetuate this ignorance. Staffordshire Bull terrier American pitbull terrier(an old dog made up of a lot of different breeds, and years of precise selective breeding) American Staffordshire Terrier(closest to the apbt but complete different breeding program) American Bully(hybrid dog that’s ruining the other breeds with the lack of practical direction) Each dog was bred with certain tasks, and traits in mind. It’s ignorant to disregard the history, and the hard work and genius of the dogmen of old by lumping these very unique breeds together. Here in America the pitbull has a stigma as an aggressive dog because these bullies have mastiff, and natural man biters in their lineage. So when said dog is labeled as a pitbull and attacks somebody the pitbull takes the tally on the statistic chart further perpetuating the myth that the “pitbull” is a man-aggressive dog. When in actuality it’s he exact opposite, the pitbull was bred and culled for animal aggression ONLY. In closing my sister, “pitbull” was, and should be an abbreviation for the American pitbull terrier dog#onlyoneapbt #dontbullymybreed #onetruepitbull

Idiots in this country will call staffies 'pitbulls' too. The bull and terrier became the SBT. All US versions came from this lineage. But no breeds stay the same visually/physically because breeders want a dog that is 'improved' or refined in some way to better fit the purpose or goal that they have in mind. Human breeding, horse breeding, dog breeding, it doesn't matter. Therefore, a large 'pitbull' is still as much of a 'pitbull' as a smaller one.

@@shrimck Wasn't skipping through . Just got tired of them talking about nothing

There were 4.7 million fig bites in 2018, over 70% happen from not neutered dogs. There were 36 dog bite related fatalities in 2018 in the US and we have the most digs per capita . The temperament passing rate is higher for pit bulls than for Chihuahua, Border collie and beagles and put bulls have one of the weakest bite forces of all breeds. The Aspca source: unless you've been in the presence of a dig it's whole life you have no idea of the treatment it has received. Shelters are one of the top abusers of dogs. Any dog can bitevif it feels threatened or just has had enough of being taunted. You may be the next lucky person that innocently addsvthevone straw that breaksvtge camels back. Most dog owners are adequate but not good dog owners. If someone can't be 24/7 with a lone dog , expect behavior issues. Dogs are pack animals. Can't tell how many time I've seen a child grab a dog around the neck in a " hug", or think it's funny to have a staring contest with a dog. People hurt people more than dogs do. I think we should ban and euthanize them . Empty the prisons of violent offenders. Also that would empty half our schools and homes. Dogs are less violent than humans and easuervto stay away from if you don't like them.😒

@Adrian At And T can we extend that to violent people?

Staffies are not banned.

@@danielledewitt1 They are in many places here. I was speaking in generalities. Sorry.

@@annettefournier9655 Well don’t.
