Some Staffs can be naturally dog aggressive, afterall it's what many were bred for. My Staff now doesn't like certain dogs that it used to play with as a younger dog but on the whole it tolerates most dogs, if not being overly friendly with them. A lot of Staffs tend to favour human company (especially children) rather than that of other dogs. Once my dog has sniffed another dog and said a doggy 'hello' he's not really that interested in them again and tends to want to say hello to people more.
Yet, we lose about 50 human beings per year to them, or crosses of them. Fact, and in light of that fact, it is a weird point of view. And no sir, that is not a "misunderstanding", it isn't.
mine also doesn't like other dogs, she puts up with them, but she loves people, she's afraid of squeaky toys and hides under the bed from the vacuum. great family dogs..
Staffordshire Bull terriers are mighty fine dogs. Though they are seen a bit more for show and companionship than working, unlike the Bull terrier which has greatly strayed from being a working/purpose dog, the SBT still possesses a lot of what makes for a fine bulldog. Though the original bulldogs (APBT) are more associated and seen as working/purpose dogs and have not strayed from the capabilities of their original purposes, the SBT is has more of a paw in the show ring yet is still a very functional bulldog type as well. It's a shame, though, what happened to the Bull terrier breed. Since folks further and further designed the Bull terrier to be more about looks than that of function, it is a dog that is now known more for it's oddly shaped head and white color than anything. There was a time when the Bull terrier was as good as ever and largely resembled it's parent breed the APBT or it's brother breed the SBT.
ULTIM8STUCH Actually, the APBT is the bulldog which was used for bull baiting among other functions it was designed for as a gripping dog. It is considered to be a true bulldog to its core. There are working men, everyday folks, and even dogmen which simply refer to them as bulldogs, because that is what they are. Like dog professional, breed historian, and author Diane Jessup writes: "The Pit Bull is a bulldog in action and appearance. He is a gripping dog - not a terrier (which means Earth dog which pursues its quarry underground). The English bulldog is a relatively recently developed animal designed strictly for the show ring. In fact, English bulldogs were not even created until several years AFTER bull baiting (the purpose for which it was supposed to have been bred) was banned and discontinued in the United Kingdom. So, it is impossible for the Pit Bull to have been developed from a breed younger than itself. In fact, the English bulldog is developed from the original working bulldog - the Pit Bull. Written Pit Bull pedigrees date into the late 1700's. The history of the Pit Bull far predates the time when bans on bull baiting caused blood sport fanciers to turn to fighting dog against dog. First a hunter, then a butcher's dog, then a baiter, then a dog fighter, only for the past 150 years or so have Pit Bulls been bred for going against each other. This is because bull baiting was too difficult to hide from authorities, but dog fights could be held anywhere."
Mate I don't want to fall out but I am a past breeder in the UK and have records at my disposal that show that the original Bull dog not the one seen today were part of the breed history of the APBT Staffordshire and the Bull terrier . The breed seen today ( bull dog ) is obviously a decendent of the original bulldog but for show purposes bred later and deformed from it's original . My grand parents were institutional in the breeding of the Staff and Bull terrier breeds seen today. I have a old tyme bull dog bred by myself that reflects the original bull dog. And again I think you mis read things . The bull dog was original dog bred with a terrier to give the Bull and Terrier. This led to the Bull terrier and Staffordshire and APBT. The APBT decendent was also a fork in it's breed history . The Bull dog came first; but not like the bull dogs of today they were taller and more athletic . The original bull dogs I agree with you looked more like the APBT. Give me a Email and will send pics of my Old tyme so you can see what we in the UK strive for a back breed program to get more like the original bull dogs.www.bullheadedoldes.com/history.html Read this you will see
ULTIM8STUCH I have heard of this mysterious original bulldog that looked like our Pit bulldogs do today but are somehow no more. It really does not make since that Pit bulldogs were used for, have documentation among other things showing they existed in those times, and were used for the exact same functions as these original bulldogs that are said to have been used for those things, used at the exact same times, look the exact same way, and served the exact same functions, yet are strangely nowhere to be seen. There is said that pedigrees for the Pit bulldogs date back into the 1700's. As we know, Pit bulldogs were used to bait bulls (a purpose that working bulldogs are known to have done). APBTs out date English bulldogs (which were created after the ban of bull baiting) seeing that there are pedigrees going back to the 1700's (times when bull baiting was very much legal). This fact makes it very strange that they APBT would even have been created if there was already a bulldog being used for the same functions for bull baiting and a large game working dog. This is a good video to see the history behind the APBT: www.muzikkitabi.com/Video/VIDEOIDhWmrc0-l9MA/Origin-of-the-Pit-Bull-by-Dr-Justine-Lee You wouldn't happen to know who the Spartan Dogs information is written by, would you?
Hi Believe me the original bull dog is far older breed than the APBT or should I say pit bull terrier as there are first mentions of this as a breed in document form is in the UK kennel club ( the oldest club in the world ) dated to 1810 .Previously the pit bull type breed were generically known as pit dogs. The original bulldog was mentioned as a breed in the early 1600's almost 200 years before . the pit bull Staffordshire and bull terrier later to become the bull terrier as bred by J Hinks are all bred from bulldog cross old English terriers of various types around the same time in history. Such as the old white and Manchester terriers. The gull ter is a bull and terrier decendent .The English took them to India( search youtube gull terr or hinks terrier ). Bull dogs got their name originally due to being bred to herd semi wild bulls into corals and stalls not through their use as bull baiters as most people think . The breed bull dog was bred long before using them for baiting . Bulls were then baited by mastiffs. In an historic dog breed book I believe written in the later 1500's no bull dog breed is mentioned. first appears 1600's although mastiffs are thought to have been used by the romans and were bred with dogs taken from the UK when they invaded. So it is possible that bull dogs could be older but were not called so as a breed type until the 1600's . The video you state is accurate in it's content but as you misread everything I have said and dont listen on the video it is hard for me to make you understand . The bull in bull terrier comes from the name bulldog as the Bulldog was a parent of the pit bull terrier The terrier coming from the terrier used as a second parent and the pit coming as they were fighting in pits. Not that the terrier was used as a pit and bull baiting dog. The APBT is of Irish old family dog stock and is shown on ships records for passage to america in the mid 1800's with irish immigrants . So the APBT as a breed is younger than 1850 due to not being called APBT before then. So which came first chick / egg easy bulldog before pit bull.The video states if you listen from the 2.00 mark she states that its the 1800's not the 1700s.
ULTIM8STUCH I don't think you posted who it was that wrote that Spartan Dog information, buddy. There is a lot of jive out there. Just about anything can be written by just about anyone. I have to stick with the licensed and known professionals on this one. Most of my information comes from dog professional, breed expert, and author Diane Jessup. There is a dog professional by the name Cesar Millan that did a public service video about Pit bulldogs. The video has said that in the 1700's, Pit bulldogs were used for the bloodsports of bear and bull baiting. It talks about how they were used on farms and cattle ranches as well. It's a pretty good watch to learn a bit about these types of bulldogs. Whether you believe they are the original bulldogs or not, the times they are documented to be around, their functions, and their history considers them to be what is known as a bulldog. I do understand that there is some debate on what all makes them up but they are as bulldog as it gets. If there ever was a bulldog that they came from, Pit bulldogs must have been better bulldogs than them, since they replaced them and are still here. Here is that video: www.muzikkitabi.com/Video/VIDEOIDAcjloOFBfY8/Cesar-Millan-Love-My-Pit-Bull-Exclusive
A true Staffordshire Bull terrier is defined by temperament not hight and weight. If it's not game to argue with another that shows it aggression or loving loyal to humans it's not a Staffordshire Bull terrier. Two legs good four legs bad defines this wonderful breed. Stick your KC standard where the sun don't shine.
the history of terrier and bulldog mix is pure invention.Staffy and apbt was simply the old fighting bulldog without any terriers addiction.The historical paint,drawing ecc ecc. show this point wery well.bye
No worries. It is always a good idea to take any new pup to puppy socialization classes, they don't cost much (i paid £3 per 2 hour session) and are well worth the money. If you haven't owned a SBT before i would recommend buying a few books about SBT's. The best one i have brought is 'A new owners guide to Staffordshire Bull Terriers' by Danya Lemke, available from Amazon etc.
Not sure who deleted the exchange between me and Carnypimp, but it was a job well done. Anyone who believes as he does, that American Pit Bull Terriers evolved from crosses with huskies, or that they look like "mastiffs with pencil heads" is clearly not up for a serious conversation about breed history, let alone two very closely related breeds as these. If people respect these dogs like they claim, they should try & learn about them without the personal prejudices getting in the way.
No se si tendré respuestas.por los años que tiene la pág.mí opinión es hermosos son perfecto me encanta la raza.para mí es única no hay otra igual los amó infinito infinito infinito 😩💧💞😇👍🙏😜👏🙏🙏
how ? i asked one question for advise ? you didnt say yes or no but i got the staff and the yorkshire terrier is actually looking after the staff atm so unlucky pal
+CreepyGaming - PC Gaming Goodness No not rare except it is not desirable. Nothing against your dog but blue is sold to ignorant people as a rare color and type thus more money!!
Would a newbie like me be better suited w/ an english staff instead of an Amstaff? I've read staffs are better w/ animals than the pit bull. Correct? I'm wanting to learn.
Our first family pet is an English Stafford and he is only 5 months but he suits our family very well. We spend an hour every day at a dog park where he does lots of running, chasing, rolling, and sometimes walking with all breeds of other dogs. He loves other dogs but loves people even more. You will not be disappointed with your Stafford just be sure to get a purebred so you don't end up with any undesirable personality traits.
I've been around Staffordshire bull terriers and American Staffordshire terriers for 35 years. (Since I was 10) The biggest difference is simply size. They share a bloodline way back where English , Irish and Scottish settlers brought their dogs to America where they grew in size to help defend ranch against coyotes etc. I've found their temperament and love for their families identical. But with any animal personalities differ time to time. I've had Staffordshire terriers that chased and killed cats and had American Staffordshire terriers live in same home with a cat and other dogs trouble free for 12+ years. I'm going back old school because people have engineered a new "Bully" breed claiming 100 pound dogs. Most have bad bowed arms like most English Bulldogs. Bigger isn't always better.
Just look into the bloodlines your getting the dog from if it’s a fighting line you will have trouble with other animals most dogs but if from a line that breed as family pets and companion dogs then yes they are one of the best in my opinion I have owned one from each type and the amstaff I would say as long as not from a fighting line you will be okay
Ok maybe i'm a bit harsh. I do know some people with great working APBT but they rarely bred because of they are afraid of idiots getting ahold of them. The breed needs to become rare to stop the problem. Just like the Cane Corso in early stages when it came to America it was a stable breed. Now that it is the 4th most popular breed. It has started to get very watered down. I just posted a video of a Corso from great lines: i'm giving away that was poorly bred and not socialized early enough.
The thing is if people are dishonest enough it really doesnt matter if they are breeding Staffordshire Bull Terriers or American Pit Bull Terriers or Maltese Terriers for that matter. If people are dishonest enough and think they can get away with hanging false papers on a dog to improve their dogs' reputation then sadly they will probably always do this. But this problem is not breed specific. About the only thing we can do to provent this is to know what it is we are buying before we buy it.
But to answer your question, since you asked so nicely: artists like Henry Alken, Sir Edwin Henry Landseer and Johann Elias Ridinger, are just some of the many artists that depicted bulldogs looking identical to modern day APBTs. If YOU don't see the similarities I imagine it is because YOU are looking at images of late 19th century show bulldogs and modern day American Bullies, not real APBTs and Bulldogs!
each staffy is different mine once its starts to fight does not stop, gets other dog by neck goes all out,does not let go , but the other dog has to start the fight, other wise she is one of the best smart dogs , I have had where another one was so soft a snappy chihuahua would have had her tail between her legs running , if your one starts to enjoy fighting then it can be a problem, they were all so used to kill badgers in the past.
As for Colby dogs turning into American Bullies? I doubt it. The last time I was on the Colby website was before Louis died, and at that time their dogs still looked exactly like that had done for a 100 years! They looked nothing like American Bullies. And as for Tom Garner. Well I have heard he is a peddler. But are there not peddlers in EVERY breed? At least his dogs look and work like real bulldogs still and not like American Bullies.
Actually looking at your comments I am wondering where you come from. Chances are if you are from the USA then you will view the over all purity of the APBT differently than to somebody from say Sweden. Because in Sweden APBTs have not been ruined by turning them into American Bullies. But the same problems facing the APBT is the USA is facing the SBT in other parts of the world like England or Australia where they are the really popular breed.
Actually no, because the images of the dogs from the 19th century are the ancestors of BOTH the APBT and the SBT. Until 1936 the history of the APBT and the SBT was pretty much one and the same, they were certainly owned by the same types of people, but just on different continents. Those same people that were sitting around at the Cross Guns pub pushing for the KC to recognize the SBT as a show breed were still fighting their dogs afterwards at the same venue.
if your staffy has high gameness fighting trats, it hard to stop , my 10 year old bitch will attack any dog that shows agro to her and is very protective when strange dogs are around, you have to show that you dislike it fighting other dogs easy'er said than done.
Well to your last sentence. If i was a cop i'm sure 8 out of 10 people I would pull over with Jordan's on and driving a chevy on nice rims do have drugs on them.
No it because most APBT are not bred with bloodlines being a concern. Some of the oldest breeders inbred them all to hell; because they are afriad their lines will get watered down.
Shame the kc are trying to ruin yet another breed here by making staffords smaller and squarer . Let's hope the dont do what they did to the bulldogs with our staffords!
You obviously don't get sarcasm ,did you do English when you went to school? Maybe you should pick up a junior English text book and learn language features.
He has a shit load of puppies all the time. I'm sorry but a breed whom where its most priced breeders are puppy brokers I call bull shit on it. Their is no definative proof that APBT existed before idiots who where outlaws owned them.
I actually do get sarcasm when it fits. What you used wasn't sarcasm. It was inane trite dribble. You learn that nonsense when you stare into a computer screen too much while you play with your little winkie. Now go away little boy and do what you do best, and that is calling mommie to make you some more treats.

As for Colby dogs turning into American Bullies? I doubt it. The last time I was on the Colby website was before Louis died, and at that time their dogs still looked exactly like that had done for a 100 years! They looked nothing like American Bullies.
And as for Tom Garner. Well I have heard he is a peddler. But are there not peddlers in EVERY breed? At least his dogs look and work like real bulldogs still and not like American Bullies.
I own one they are great dogs
Yo tengo un Staffy, y son increibles
No i would say its the other way around,but your if dog accepts it you wont have any trouble
Actually looking at your comments I am wondering where you come from.
Chances are if you are from the USA then you will view the over all purity of the APBT differently than to somebody from say Sweden. Because in Sweden APBTs have not been ruined by turning them into American Bullies.
But the same problems facing the APBT is the USA is facing the SBT in other parts of the world like England or Australia where they are the really popular breed.
Damn wish I could get one from Sweden knowing this now smh
Actually no, because the images of the dogs from the 19th century are the ancestors of BOTH the APBT and the SBT.
Until 1936 the history of the APBT and the SBT was pretty much one and the same, they were certainly owned by the same types of people, but just on different continents.
Those same people that were sitting around at the Cross Guns pub pushing for the KC to recognize the SBT as a show breed were still fighting their dogs afterwards at the same venue.
If the SBT pup grows up with your dog you should be okay.
was Staffordshire bull terriers fighting dogs
Ya
Look up gentleman Jim
Laptop warrior,excellent and i will no doubt use it next time im on xbox live,u xbox live warrior
3:02 I know bitch means female do but lol
Good video.
thankss
What more could you want
if your staffy has high gameness fighting trats, it hard to stop , my 10 year old bitch will attack any dog that shows agro to her and is very protective when strange dogs are around, you have to show that you dislike it fighting other dogs easy'er said than done.
What the fuck is a staffy
Well to your last sentence. If i was a cop i'm sure 8 out of 10 people I would pull over with Jordan's on and driving a chevy on nice rims do have drugs on them.
I live in Indiana, United States.
No it because most APBT are not bred with bloodlines being a concern. Some of the oldest breeders inbred them all to hell; because they are afriad their lines will get watered down.
Shame the kc are trying to ruin yet another breed here by making staffords smaller and squarer . Let's hope the dont do what they did to the bulldogs with our staffords!
So they are British , aaaaah ! Them apples must be sour :/
2.46... STAFF? lol look at its ears...
go back to school
it's not cropped
I mean Old English Bulldog mix not the Old English Bulldogge.
I disagree. There still are game functional SBT and ISBT. Also EBT and IBT are still used. Look up gr ch phyco from England.
You obviously don't get sarcasm ,did you do English when you went to school? Maybe you should pick up a junior English text book and learn language features.
... that was meant to be 35 and not 36.
He has a shit load of puppies all the time. I'm sorry but a breed whom where its most priced breeders are puppy brokers I call bull shit on it. Their is no definative proof that APBT existed before idiots who where outlaws owned them.
I want a all black staffy a female
What a weird old film. Get your dog. Love him/her. You will know when you see them if it's the dog for you xx
Staffie FTW
I actually do get sarcasm when it fits. What you used wasn't sarcasm. It was inane trite dribble. You learn that nonsense when you stare into a computer screen too much while you play with your little winkie. Now go away little boy and do what you do best, and that is calling mommie to make you some more treats.
LOL
The ones in film don't look athletic they look fat
Show barrels 🤣
I know 3:13
if u need to ask such a dumb childish question, u shouldnt own dogs.
you clearly have no clue about dogs in general, its embarrassing
real shit hahah
Prove me wrong. Go ahead. You can't pictures are worth a thousand words. None of the English Bulldog mix, ever looked like a APBT. EVER.
