I have one and she looks like a lab, only a lot smaller. She is black with white markings. A cross between a Mt. Feist and a Jack Russell Terrier. She has long legs, a long torso, a curled up tail and she is a little bit bigger than a Jack Russell pure. Very energetic, super smart and friendly by nature. At 5 months old this is how she looks. Vet says she will top out at about 30 lbs.
This. Apparently.
No, they do not look alike.
This would be very difficult to answer without knowing what the parents look like.
is the first dog a staffodshire bull terrier, or an English bull terrier, or a cross of both????? :S
There is some controversy as to whether Irish Staffordshire Bull Terriers are even an actual breed, with some sources saying that are simply an Irish-bred Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The AKC does not list an Irish. The best information with pictures listed as an Irish Staffordshire can be found at the listed related link.
Pit bulls often refer to breeds of dogs in the Mastiff group of dogs, which are generally larger dogs that are often (historically) used for dog fighting. Other breeds of dogs which are in the same category are the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the American Staffordshire Terrier. I do know that Pit Bulls derive from cross-breeding's of Mastiffs and American Staffordshire Terriers (look at a pic of Staffordshires and Pit Bulls, they look almost the same!!) and maybe other breeds. Good answer! But, the term "pit bull" refers more to terriers. "Pit Bulls" included the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Terrier. The most common reference to the term "pit bull" refers to the American Pit Bull Terrier, which does not stem from the Mastiff family. The American Pit Bull Terrier more closely stems from a mix of Staffordshire Terrier and Old English Bulldog (not to be confused with American Bulldog.) The American Bulldog is more closely related to the Mastiff family, not the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, or the Staffordshire Terrier.
Both of these breeds are illegal in the UK. The main difference between these two breeds is that American Staffordshire Terriers have a recognised, official breed standard, whereas Pit Bull Terriers do not. Pit Bull Terriers are not actually an official breed.
If you are looking for Staffie puppies, this is not the best site to get them, as you have to look in your area. The best is to find a reputable breeder in your area and contact them.
Like a french bulldog
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.
They are most closely related to bull terriers and emerged from crossings between bull terriers and other terriers that were around in the 17th century.
This is what they look like as a puppy Adult
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.
