About Staffordshire Bull Terrier Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, originating in 19th century England from bulldog and terrier crosses, is a compact, muscular member of the AKC Terrier Group originally bred for bull baiting and pit sports before becoming a devoted family companion prized for its affection with children. Typically 14-16 inches tall and 24-38 pounds, the Stafford sports a short, smooth, close fitting coat in red, fawn, white, black, blue, or brindle that needs only weekly brushing and occasional baths. Courageous, intelligent, and deeply people oriented, they thrive with 45-60 minutes of vigorous daily exercise, firm positive training, and close family involvement, though early socialization with other dogs is essential.
