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.
Most Staffordshire Bull Terriers heads ''split'' between the ages of 6 months and a year. Of course, every dog is an individual.
no it is just a load of baloney, the dog gets muscle growth above its head which it develops by chewing, biting and other exercises which develop muscle mass in muscular headed dogs
why does a bull terriers head crack
Most Staffordshire Bull Terriers heads ''split'' at about six months to a year, but every dog is different.
Most Staffordshire Bull Terriers heads ''split'' at around six months to a year.
Why would you think the heads split on a female Staffordshire bull terrier? Does your head split? No their heads do not split unless someone takes an ax to their head.
It basically just refers to it "filling out", which happens to all Staffies

to bust your head open crack your skull damage your head ...split your wig if you had a wig, it would be split
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.
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!!
Not particularly.
no it can make your split ends even worse
I'm afraid there isn't such thing as a head split. When rottweilers are young, their forehead is quite rounded. As the dog starts to mature the head starts to flatten out and widen, the excess skin gives the impression of a line going down the center of the head. Hence the term head split.
