Staffordshire Bull Terriers can vary considerably within the breed, with some being described as ''short and stocky'' and some being described as ''long-legged and athletic''. Unless your Staffy is Kennel Club registered with pedigree papers, there is every chance that it may be a crossbreed with a taller breed such as a Pit Bull Terrier or Lurcher. This is not necessarily the case however, as some purebred Staffies are simply taller than others. My pedigree Staffordshire Bull Terrier was all-leg until she reached a year old and started to bulk out. Don't worry, every Dog is different!

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is known for its good temperament with children, earning it the nickname ''Nanny Dog''. I would recommend buying a puppy so that it can grow up around children and learns how to behave around them. Staffordshire Bull Terriers are naturally loving Dogs with people, but you must make sure to supervise children when around any Dog (regardless of breed) and make sure that they know how to handle Dogs properly. As long as you do this, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier can be a child's best friend. My Stafford lives with four children under the age of 12 and she has always been 100% reliable with them.
What were staffordshire bull terriors bred for?
Staffordshire Bull Terriers were bred in an age where Bull baiting and Dog fighting were still seen as 'sports'. Bull baiting is when a tethered bull has trained Dogs set on it so that onlookers can bet on either how many Dogs the Bull can kill or how long it takes for the Dogs to kill the Bull. A similar blood sport was using bears. Dog fighting was organised in pits where people would bet on which Dog would win; this is also how the Pit Bull Terrier originated. Luckily, these 'sports' have been illegal for more than a century. Unfortunately, organised Dog fights still take place illegally in some countries. Today, Staffordshire Bull Terriers make great pets and family members.

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.
