Why does a staffies head split?
Breeds such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers and American Staffordshire Terriers have a signature ''head split'' as they become adults at about six months to a year. This distinct formation of the skull means that the bone is fused strongly together, giving these breeds very hard heads! This serves no real purpose other than for more protection for the brain and is nothing to worry about as the vast majority of purebred Staffies have it. It does not hurt the dog and can be compared to the fusing of a child's skull as it grows older.

Are staffys all the same?
No, no two Staffies are ever the same. Every dog has a different temperament and habits, and most Staffies have different colours as well. Staffies may look similar on the outside but every dog is an individual.
At what age does a Staffordshire bull terrier's head get bigger?
when do staffs heads start gettin a splitt at what age about and when do they reach there full height? They don't split. From 6 months of age, or more usually from 9 months, they start to mature sexually. One of their secondary sexual characteristics is to develop lots of muscle on their heads. No splitting of any kind is involved. Full height is by 1 year of age. Full musculature in an unneutered male is by around 18 months of age. Please do neuter your staffies, they're my favourite breed but there are far, far too many of them being bred!!

Is there such thing as a pure bred blue English staffy?
Yes, you can definitely get pedigree blue Staffordshire Bull Terriers. In fact, almost all blue Staffies are Kennel Club registered with five generations or more of family history. Blue Staffies are valued more than other Staffies because of their unique colour.
