The official Kennel Club Breed Standard for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier states that they should grow to between 14 and 16 inches at the shoulder. It is not clear whether you mean Border Terrier or Border Collie, so the Breed Standard for Border Terriers says that they should grow between 11 and 16 inches at the shoulder, whilst Border Collies should grow to between 19 and 22 inches at the shoulder. Therefore, a Staffy X Border Collie would likely be about 18 inches at the shoulder, whilst a Staffy X Border Terrier would be around 13 inches at the shoulder. Of course, I can only estimate with mixed breeds.

Why was the American Staffordshire Terrier bred?
In the nineteenth century in the English region of Staffordshire, crossing among the Bulldog and various terriers developed the muscular, active, combativeStaffordshire Bull Terrier. Brought to the United States, the breed was preferred by American breeders who increased its weight and gave it a more powerful head. Now recognized as a separate breed, the American Staffordshire is larger and heavier than his British cousin, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. After dog fighting was banned in the United States in 1900, two strains of these dogs were developed, a show strain and a fighting dog strain. The show strain was labeled the American Staffordshire, while the fighting dog strain was labeled the American Pit Bull Terrier. The two are now being recognized as separate breeds. Today the American Pit Bull Terrier is being bred with the same gentle qualities as the American Staffordshire Terrier. They both make great pets with the right kind of owner. The American Staffordshire Terrier was recognized by the AKC in 1936. Some of the American Staffordshire Terriers talents are watchdog, guarding, police work, weight pulling and agility.
What is the history of the pit bull?
The pit bull was originally bred for bull baiting, which was a blood sport in the 1800s, mainly in England. The sport soon became outlawed, but now in present times, even though it is illegal, dog fighting is commonly practiced in pits. People have bred pit bulls to be aggressive, and here we are blaming the pit bull.

What is the difference between the american staffordshire and the staffordshire terrier?
American Staffordshire Terriers are often referred to as "pits" or Pit Bulls but are NOT the same breed.The term Pit Bull is a gerneric term for dogs that were raised for fighting. It should not be used to refer to any specific breed of dog."Courageous and strong, the American Staffordshire Terrier (Am Staff)'s athletic build and intelligence make him ideally suited to many dog sports such as obedience, agility, tracking and conformation. He is often identified by his stocky body and strong, powerful head. The breed's short coat can be any color, and either solid colored, parti-colored or patched.A Look BackUntil the early 19th century, the Bulldog used for bullbaiting in England was more active and longer-legged than the breed as we know it today. It is thought that the cross of this older Bulldog and a game terrier breed created the Staffordshire Terrier. Originally called the Bull-and-Terrier Dog, Half and Half or Pit Dog, it became known as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier in England. When accepted for AKC registration in 1936, the name changed to American Staffordshire Terrier to reflect the heavier American type and to distinguish them as separate breeds.Right Breed for You?The Am Staff is a people-oriented dog that thrives when he is made part of the family and given a job to do. Although friendly, this breed is loyal to his family and will protect them from any threat. His short coat is low-maintenance, but regular exercise and training is necessary.If you are considering purchasing an American Staffordshire Terrier puppy, http://wiki.answers.com/breeds/american_staffordshire_terrier/puppy.cfm.Terrier Group; AKC recognized in 1936.Ranging in size from 17 to 19 inches tall at the shoulder.General purpose dog."© The American Kennel Club, Inc.AdditionalStaffordshire Bull Terriers are NEVER to be confused with AST or APBT.They're way to small, laid back and playful. They've got short, blocky heads, and are very muscular, but a bit more bull-doggy then APBT/AST.The AST and APBT are from the same lines, but have been bred apart enough to have significant difference.APBT are sleek, muscular (but it is not obvious from a far), light and very agile. They're generally on the skinny side, with out the more obvious bulk of the AST. They are not supposed to be over 65lbs, and are taller then AST. the APBT has more 'tuck' in its abdomen, if it is well kept, and gives you a general idea of intelligence and speed.AST are larger overall, with more block-heads, more muscularly defined, and thicker. But they are NOT ''American Bullies''. They are very correct creatures, that are simply a bit thicker, more laid back and with less drive then a APBT.Most 'APBT' you see now are not truly purebred, nor of very good lines.check out: StoryTime Kennel for AST examples (great examples) and Caragan kennels & WorkingPitBull for APBT (great examples).Additional:American PitBull Terrier is a breed that is only recognized by the UKC, and the UKC does not recognize the American Staffordshire Terrier. The reverse is true of the AKC. Because of this, many people believe that the APBT/AST are the same breed, but called different names.
How do you find out what type of pit bull you have?
Look at it. Does it look like its head belongs on a much bigger dog? And its eyes face to the side? That would be a Bull Terrier. Does it look like the most common, but smaller? American Staffordshire bull terrier. Or is it the most common looking? About 70, or 80 lbs.? American Stafforshire pit bull terrier. The fourth, American Pit, is not real common anymore. I have not seen or heard of one of those in quite some time. Now, if you have the most common, it's markings, and nose will tell the tale. The American Staffordshire Pit bull terrier, will either be brindle, the brown stripes, and a black nose. That would be a Brindle. A red, or pink, nose is a red nose. If the dog is grey, or a real light brown, and the nose looks black, that would be a blue nose. A pit has to have white on their head somewhere. A white chest, and at least 1 white paw, to even be considered, as a purebred. The white comes from it heritage. The white terrier, which is now extinct, by the way. The other half of their blood comes from the English bulldog.........Chuck.
What is the difference between Irish and American soft-coated wheaten terrier?
American Staffordshire TerrierThe American Staffordshire Terrier's muscled build and protective instinct should make strangers beware, yet with their own family they are devoted, gentle and loving. A common question regarding the American Staffordshire Terrier is, "How is this breed different from the American Pit Bull Terrier?". In the eyes of the United Kennel Club, they are the same breed, but many disagree. Some AKC-registered American Staffordshire Terriers are dual-registered as American Pit Bull Terriers with the UKC; however, this draws criticism from many who point out that the bloodlines have been separate for too long for these to be considered the same breed. The AKC, on the other hand, does not allow a UKC-registered American Pit Bull Terrier to be registered as an American Staffordshire Terrier. To be dual-registered, the dog must first be an AKC-registered American Staffordshire Terrier and then it can be registered with the UKC as an APBT -- but not vice versa... They are courageous and a tenacious fighter if provoked. Training can be a challenge because of their pushy yet sensitive character. Their natural temperament towards people is gentle and loving, unfortunately some have been improperly handled giving the American Staffordshire Terrier a bad rap.Irish Staffordshire TerrierThe Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a powerful and muscular dog, very strong for his size with a broad head and well formed jaw. The muzzle is short(but longer than those of kc breeding) and the cheek muscles distinct. The stop is clearly defined. The round eyes are usually brown and the nose is usually black however "white" marked noses(unpigmented) and red noses along with golden/tawny eyes are common in some bloodlines some of the older Irish lines also show blue eyes. The teeth should always form a scissor bite. The ears are either rose or half-pricked. The neck is short and muscular. The front legs are spaced wide apart. If they have rear dewclaws they are generally removed, front dewclaw removal is optional. The short coat is soft, sleek and close. Comes in black, blue, fawn, red, white or any colour brindle, often with markings. no colour is a fault. certain bloodlines have a predominance of certain colours.
How many times a day should you feed a staffy?
I fed my Staffordshire Bull Terrier twice a day on dry biscuits when she was 9 weeks old, half a cup of food each time. A general guide is to give your dog this much to start with and if it doesn't finish it, give it less, or if it still apears hungry give it some more.
