On the one hand Staffies are very good dogs with people, and especially children, and on the whole they are not aggressive towards people, which would make them good for inexperienced dog owners. But they can be stubborn and they do need discipline from the beginning and a lot of attention and training, so in that regards they may not be the best dog for inexperienced dog owners. Except if the owners take them to training from puppyhood.

Though they harbor a strong terrier personality, Rat Terriers aren't overly aggressive. Rat Terriers love to lazily lounge about just as much as they love scurrying after small wildlife. Rat Terriers are sweet, happy dogs, but are sensitive creatures when it comes to changes in their environment. Affectionate, inquisitive and lively. Loyal, active, and extremely playful. Therefore, provided you can deal with the classic terrier temperament, these are good dogs for inexperienced owners.
