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.
Yes, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was originally bred to kill rats for pest control and organised ''ratting'' competitions. However, I have a Staffy and two pet rats and my Staffy is scared of them! There are many breeds that were bred for vermin control, including the Jack Russell Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Norfolk Terrier, Lakeland Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Border Terrier, Patterdale Terrier and many more. In fact, pretty much all Terriers were originally bred to kill rats.
