How old do staffordshire Boston terriers get?
Do you mean a Staffordshire Terrier mixed with a Boston Terrier?
Is a bull terrier bigger than a staffie?
Firstly, the Pit Bull is not actually a breed, but the term is used to refer to breeds such as the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and sometimes the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Assuming by ''Pit Bull'' you mean the American Pit Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier, the difference is that the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a few inches shorter, weighs less and was first bred in England. ''Pit Bull'' type dogs are unfortunately illegal in many countries, such as the UK, with the exception of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier; which is still legal.
What is a disadvantage of having an American Staffordshire Terrier?
There can be some disadvantages to owning an American Staffordshire Terrier. Also known as American Pit Bulls, these dogs are strong and powerful and need a lot of attention, training, and exercise. They also have an inaccurate reputation for being overly aggressive and mean. This reputation could cause friends and strangers alike to be very nervous around the dog.
How can you visually tell the difference between a Staffordshire terrier and a pitbull terrier?

What types of Pit bull are there?
This question is rather open as it does not indicate what you mean by "type." Do you mean as in color? (e.g. red nose, blue nose, etc.) Do you mean by bloodline? (e.g. Greyline, Jeep, Gotti, etc.) Do you mean by use? (illegal gaming/fighting versus weight-pulling, obedience, etc.) Do you mean by its confusion with Staffordshire Terriers? Do you mean by its official classification? (dog registries, etc.) The American Pit Bull Terrier (herein referred to as APBT), contrary to the answers that were originally listed, is, indeed a breed of dog. The term "Pit Bull" does NOT apply to Dogo Argentino, Cane Corso, etc. Those dogs may have similar characteristics to APBT but are not the same dog. The Dogo Argentino is a dog that has a conglomeration of different breeds to create what it is today. As history would have it, the Staffordshire Terrier developed the APBT breed. There are true Staffordshire breeders out there, and the Staffordshire Terrier is the only "pit bull" type of dog recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC). History states that the Staffordshire created the APBT in that the Staffordshire was continued to be bred as it stands now, and branches of the Staffordshire spouted off for utility dogs becoming the APBT. There are different "types" of APBT, however. "Blue Nose Pit Bull" is not a breed. It's a Pit Bull exhibiting bloodline characteristics of a "blue nose." The same goes for a "red nose." Some of these characteristics are more prominent in certain bloodlines - as would characteristics for any other breed of dog. (Example - aka no such thing as a "John Smith bloodline." I am using this as an example statement: "John Smith bloodlines create a bigger head on dogs" or "Jane Doe dogs have more of a working drive than John Smith dogs.") NEW ANSWER The term "pitbull" usually refers to the following 3 breeds: 1. American Pitbull Terrier 2. American Staffordshire Terrier 3.

What are the Names of types of pit bulls?
There are 4. The Spuds Mckinzie type. They are little, and have the big head. Those are Bull Terriers. Then, there is the "American pit bull terrier", which I have not seen, or heard of in quite some time, although I am sure they are still around. Then there is the most common show/fight dog, which is the "American Staffordshire bull terrier", and a miniature version of those called "American Staffordshire Bull Terrier," which these days, people are calling them "pocket pits." Now, there are sub catergories that brak down like this. And, as far as I know, these only apply to the most common, the Am Staff. A brindle, a red nose, and a blue nose. There is only a difference of colors, and markings, on those, however, they say the red nose is the meanest/toughest, but I don't really know about that. They are, however the most common when it comes to fighting. The blue nose are getting a bad rep. right now do to poor breeding techniques. They all can be mean, if they have bad owners, and all are tough. I do remeber, vaguely, before I got into them, something about a "red tip", which was supposed to have 5 red points. 2 eyes, a red nose, and 2 red tipped ears. But, I have not seen, or heard of one of those, since I was a kid....Chuck.
What breeds are pitbull dogs from?
i think it is bulldogs or bull mastif Fighting dogs is illegal but facing a pitbull with a dog of another race is unethical and cruel. The pitbull has an extra edge no matter how bigger the other dog is.
Which dog breed is meaner a American pitbull or husky?
The American Temperament Test Society, Inc. most recent test shows that, pit bull breeds (AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER and AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER for example) and Siberian have similar temperaments. However, there is a larger sampling of the pit bull breeds, making the statistics not entirely reliable. Remember, you can make any dog a mean dog if you raise it incorrectly. see: http://www.atts.org/stats1.html
What are the three different types of bulling?
By 'Bulling' I assume you mean Bulldog. There are only two recognised Bulldogs in England, the French and the English Bulldog. In America there is also an American Bulldog. However, there are also Bull Terriers such as the Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and English Bull Terrier. Unrecognised breeds of Bulldog also exist, such as the Valley, Brazilian and Victorian Bulldog's. There are also 'Bully-type' breeds such as the Boston Terrier and Pug - but these breeds were never actually used for bull baiting. If by 'Bulling' you mean bull baiting, then that is a long banned blood sport were a tethered bull or bear had Bulldog's set on it for entertainment. People would bet on either how many dog's the Bull/Bear could kill in a set time or how long it would take the dog's to kill the Bear/Bull.
Will a staffordshire bull terrier be ok to have with a one year old baby?
This depends on whether the Dog is used to children, as although the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is noted for its love of children and has been nicknamed ''The Nanny Dog'', this does not mean that a Dog that hasn't been brought up with children will be reliable. It is always better to buy a young puppy so that it can grow up with the child and learn to be tolerant with children. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is generally very friendly and good with kids, but it would be unwise to expect a Dog that has had no experience with children to adapt to life with one. As a general rule, NEVER leave a Dog alone with children unattended, no matter what breed it is. Rather than introducing an adult dog to the baby, get a puppy so that it can learn how to behave with children. I have had my Staffordshire Bull Terrier since she was eleven weeks old and she has grown up with four kids, and as a result is very tolerant and friendly towards them.
Do staffies have lockjaw?
This is a myth, Staffordshire Bull Terriers do not have ''lockjaw''. In fact, no breed does! Staffordshire Bull Terriers and American Staffordshire Terriers have exactly the same jaw formation as any other breed of dog. They do have incredibly strong muscles in their jaws but the condition ''lockjaw'' does not exist in any breed.
