Loyal, affectionate and courageous
-
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is an intelligent, tough, courageous, tenacious and persistent little dog. Totally fearless and curious, they’re energetic and enthusiastic in everything they do. They’re also known for their loyalty, affection, obedience, and love for people and children.
HISTORY
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier was developed in the region of Staffordshire, England, in the nineteenth century from crosses between Bulldogs and various local terriers that were similar to the Manchester Terrier. Developed for the then-popular sport of bull baiting, the breed’s popularity waned as interest in this bloodthirsty and savage sport fortunately waned. Then, in the twentieth century, interest in the breed grew again, especially in the United States, and it returned to the show ring in 1935.
