My Fav Dog Is A Staffy
A Staffy? I hear you say, yes A breed of dog , originally bred for bull-baiting and dog fighting in Birmingham , England by James Hinks in the mid-1800s.
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is an English breed of dog and should not be confused with the American Pit Bull Terrier .
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a stocky, muscular dog with a broad head, thick neck, deep chest, powerful jaws, relatively short snout and short floppy ears. The cheek muscles are usually large and increase the impression of strength in the jaws.
The coat is uniformly short and may be coloured black, brindle, white or tan (a reddish tan). The belly is covered by sparse hair only.
The Stafford (Staffie or Staffy) is renowned for loyalty to their owners and stability of temperament, qualities which can make them a good family pet. When properly bred and socialised, they are fond of people, playful, energetic, and not naturally aggressive. They are normally excellent with children and their small size adds to their appeal as a family pet; however, they have extremely high energy, which makes them more than a handful for inexperienced owners.
The dog's origins as a fighting breed can make the Stafford prone to taking on other dogs that seek to fight. For this reason, Staffords (especially unneutered males) should not be brought into close contact with dogs that are aggressive or snappy towards other dogs. It is wise to avoid such confrontations, bearing in mind the strength and fearlessness of the Stafford. However, Staffords will play or co-habit happily with other dogs that are not aggressive.
