Staffordshire Bull Terriers

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.

Technically, Staffordshire bull terriers can drink milk, but it's not recommended. Most adult dogs are lactose intolerant and can experience digestive issues like diarrhea from consuming milk. So, while they can drink milk, it's probably best to stick to water to keep their tummies happy and avoid any messy situations.

Staffordshire Bull Terriers have a bite force of around 235-250 pounds of pressure, which is similar to other medium-sized dog breeds. This bite force can vary depending on the individual dog's size, strength, and temperament.

The before answered question is actually fairly true. Staff's normally will birth 5-10 puppies. However, a first litter for any dog can have is complications. Mostly due to anxiety, stress, and environment, there could possibly be fewer puppies the first time, if not one that didn't make it. Now that's a hard fact. Even though motherhood is built in, there can be a learning curve for the momma. Just keep your dog comfortable and feeling safe. If she's comfy, the pups are too! Stress can lead to a number of birthing problems, but an inviting area she can call her own, even she the birth, will help drastically. So, be there, be aware. It's a wonderful experience that will give you joy for a lifetime! It's the 7 weeks after that we'll have you pulling your hair out!

They aren't banned from Australia, but some states like New South Wales does place restrictions on the breed like mandatory sterilisation in order to ensure the eventual extinction of the breed in that state, however that mainly applies to American Staffordshire bull terriers or Pit bulls. hi

It basically just refers to it "filling out", which happens to all Staffies

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!!

They can if they are cold or scared, just like any other dog.

Staffordshire bull terriers are commonly given the nickname "Nanny dog" because of their fondness for and gentleness with children.

Probably about 10-12 years.

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.

The English Bull Terrier usually ranges in weight between 45 and 80 pounds, where as the Miniature Bull Terrier weighs between 24 and 33 pounds on average. Staffordshire Bull Terriers usually weigh between 23 and 38 pounds depending on their height.

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.

I don't know. Pit them together and find out!

Yes but not if all things are equal. An Adult wild fox if attacked by a border terrier would kill the terrier. Wild animals are fast and tough, domesticated animals slow and soft....and apparently tasty according to coyotes that hang around towns and cities.

Staffordshire Hoard was created in 2009.

Originally there wasn't a difference when they were brought to the United States from the Staffordshire Bull Terrier or SBT. However different groups of people have gotten a hold on these dogs and used them for different purposes. The American Pit Bull Terrier or APBT was bred for function. They were bred for gameness (willingness to fight) dog aggression, prey drive, as well as a host of other features that enhance the dogs ability to win fights. The American Staffordshire Terrier or AST started from the same origins, however the traits they were bred for were different. They were bred for appearance and standards for show purposes. It was acknowledged as a different breed in 1936 by the AKC as the Staffordshire Terrier. It was later renamed American Staffordshire Terrier in 1972. The AST is considered to be less dog aggressive than the APBT, however neither should be trusted off leash with other dogs. In BOTH breeds human aggression was bred out of them. Dog fighters would put to death any dogs that showed human aggression (humans were in the pits during dog fights).

not many places, it is an uncommon, sought after and expensive breed, you will have a very hard time finding one that will be free.

The Staffordshire Bull Terriers are known to have great strength for their size. They are stocky and muscular, but should also be active and agile. The breed is the 5th most popular dog in the UK (its place of origin), and it is the only breed to have the words 'totally reliable' in its breed standard. Furthermore, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is one of only two breeds from over 190 recognized by the UK Kennel Club to have a mention of the breed's suitability with children. They are concidered a bully but not an American bully.

Staffordshire bull terries are extremely intelligent dogs. Dont think that because he/she is 2 that they will be impossible to train. Staffordshire bull terriers are suckers for food when training ensure you have treats that the dog enjoys (not too many though lol) and dont use violence to train the dog.

No! I own a female Staffordshire Bull Terrier. They don't drool. In general, the wet-mouthed dogs are those with loose jowels. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier has tight lips/jowels.

Also, a male dog that is not neutered in any breed, not just wet-mouthed breeds, may produce some drool when it gets sexually excited around a female dog that has not been fixed.

But in general, SBT's do *not* drool.

That would depend on what type of food you are feeding him/her, it's best to just follow the instructions on the food you are feeding. For a pupppy this age you should not be feeding him/her any human food, but rather food that is made specifically for puppies.

Cairn terrier's do not shed. But you should comb them every once and awhile to get rid of the dead hair.

2nd Answer:

YES all dogs shed, have to get rid of the dead hair so the new hair can come in. Brush your dog daily.

In the nineteenth century in the English region of Staffordshire, crossing among the Bulldog and various terriers developed the muscular, active, combativeStaffordshire Bull Terrier. Brought to the United States, the breed was preferred by American breeders who increased its weight and gave it a more powerful head. Now recognized as a separate breed, the American Staffordshire is larger and heavier than his British cousin, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. After dog fighting was banned in the United States in 1900, two strains of these dogs were developed, a show strain and a fighting dog strain. The show strain was labeled the American Staffordshire, while the fighting dog strain was labeled the American Pit Bull Terrier. The two are now being recognized as separate breeds. Today the American Pit Bull Terrier is being bred with the same gentle qualities as the American Staffordshire Terrier. They both make great pets with the right kind of owner. The American Staffordshire Terrier was recognized by the AKC in 1936. Some of the American Staffordshire Terriers talents are watchdog, guarding, police work, weight pulling and agility.

There is a common perception that 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years, but that is not quite accurate. Dogs reach adulthood in about 2-3 years. A better formula to use is 10.5 human years for the first 2 years of your dog, then 4 dog years per human year for each year after that. So, if your dog is 2 years old in human years, he/she is 21 years old in dog years. If your dog is 3 years old in human years, he/she is 25 years old in dog years.

yeah all dogs do, especially when they fart
