No, that is a common (and untrue) stereotype. I have three Staffies and all three of them are friendly and loving. They can be very naughty, but not aggressive. There ARE aggressive Staffies, but that was simply the way they were raised and treated by their owners. An aggressive dog is made, not born. Any dog can be aggressive if they are raised that way.

Will 3 Staffordshire bull terriers live in the same house happily?

Staffies were originally bred for dog-fighting so it could be that they do not get along so well with other dogs. However, breed is never destiny and as long as all 3 dogs are well socialised from a young age and are used to other dogs, they should get along fine with other dogs, including Staffies. It is important to make sure they get enough exercise, especially walking them together, as this will strenghten the bonds between the dogs.
