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!!

What is head splitting in staffies?
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. This can be seen as a dip in the middle of the dog's head.
What age is a Staffordshire bull terrier before its head splits?
Their heads never split.
What age does a staff head split?
It doesn't. Heads do not split, or brains fall out. What you're referring to is the extra muscle that grows at sexual maturity, which can be from 6 months of age in a staffy, but more commonly from 9 months of age. The muscle on the head is one of the secondary sexual characteristics of the male. I think this myth comes from the fact that the muscle grows in two bulges either side of the head, causing the appearance of a dent on top of the head. Anyone who stops and thinks for a second will realise that a split head would be a skull fracture, which is not a natural part of growth.

Pitbull head split at what age?
Their heads don't split in the sense of cracking apart or anything like that. (I've heard that myth before. Its not true.) That said, a dog's head will "pop" or mature at various ages. Males tend to pop sooner than females. It will depend on the dog's bloodlines, and how slow- or fast-maturing they are.
