Staffordshire Terrier Puppy
The Staffordshire Terrier puppy is an English breed. The breed evolved in the early 19th Century, when bulldogs were crossed with terriers to create a breed for dog fighting.
In cases of reported attacks, there is often little distinction made between the bull terrier breeds, such as the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Pit-Bull Terrier, the Bull Terrier and the Staffie. Perhaps because of its comparative high numbers and poor recognition by the public, the Staffordshire Terrier wears much of the blame for reported attacks that may have been committed by any member of the bull terrier breeds. A typical staffie is energetic, devoted to his families, and normally loves meeting strangers.
Staffordshire Terriers will normally grow to a height of around 35-40cm. They require firm obedience training and plenty of exercise to avoid obesity, although a puppy will need less exercise than a fully grown adult. Their coats are short and smooth meaning little grooming is required.
