The Staffordshire Bull is THE finest dog breed bar none. Highly intelligent, great emotional intelligence- they can always judge your mood accurately. Fiercely loyal and loving, utterly fearless and courageous. Always ready to play a game- terrific energy and a great sense of fun. Superb with children- far more tolerant than many breeds. Staffies are strong characters, they bond very closely to their owners- you never own them, that's because THEY OWN YOU! An intelligent Staffy will soon have its' human owners well trained! :)

After 13 years of living with a Staffie, I can easily say the are an awesome breed. The bad rep is absolutely undeserved (the fault for a "bad" dog is always on the other end of the leash). Energizer bunny outside, couch potatoe and snoring snugglebug inside. Knowing a Staffie is loving a Staffie, they steal hears left and right.

My staffy loves everyone, dogs, people and even our three cats! She adores children. On our walk up Scafell Pike yesterday she was snarled at by 3 or 4 dogs and didn't react once. I wouldn't have any other breed now. As with any dog, good training is essential. They're bad reputation stems from bad owners who have them because they 'look tough.'

[@ravenwaves6785]

Ours is like this too. She's been lunged and snarled at and just slinks away. She loves cats, birds, other dogs and people. Great temperament but people are still very afraid of her :(

I adopted a little dark brindle Staffie 13months ago . In one year she is off the lead everywhere except busy traffic areas , she's good with all dogs , all people , on all public transport , she waits , stays , keeps in , leaves it , doesn't chase cats and ignores all other livestock , she sleeps all night until around 9. 30 am , doesn't run off if I let her out at night for a pee . She's so grateful to have been rescued , she warms my heart everyday . I don't know how old she is , I think 10 or 11 going by the lumps and bumps , but she goes all day , non stop if I let her . She is absolutely hilarious , sweet natured and kind hearted . She was Layla , now Hoola'hoop . I LOVE her dearly .

I adopted a Steffie from a shelter 6 months ago. I got a discount because they said it was almost impossible to re-home her. But she is the sweetest , best listening, quick learning dog I have ever had( she is my seventh ). And she is the best in cuddling and giving kisses when you need them. Only lesser thing is that she sometimes tends to bite visitors in the butt. We don’t know why she does it, she is not aggressive at all and loves people. She also doesn’t have fear of abandonment. But she is already 9 years old and we will probably never find out what has happened to her that she does this so I just keep her close to me when we have visitors and then there is no problem. I just love Staffords and esp mine!! ❤️😍

4 years ago I found a tiny pup ony front porch. I asked around the neighborhood if anyone was missing a pup. I put up lost pup signs as well as called both animal shelter and police dept. I was told if no one claimed him after 3 days, then I could keep him. I thought he might be a type of mixed bulldog, but when I saw what a staffordshire looked like and their traits, I just assumed that is what he is. I have always been a dog lover and have owned a variety of dogs from mixed to full-blooded chow, German police, black and tan coon, cocker spaniel and chihuahua but none of these has filled my heart like he has. He is sensitive to me when I cry, licking my tears and is very vocal, and outshines every other dog I have owned. I have named this handsome guy. Rock.

My daughters Staffordshire is 2 years old, her dog's name is Gage, Gage is my little girl's registered "service animal/ Companion Animal," my little girl Terry is 12 years old and has had two heart surgeries in the last 18 months, and has one more surgery to go, anyhow we spent yesterday August 6th at the Clark County Fair in the state of Washington, It was very fun and peaceful, I was amazed to see the Lambs that were caged as exhibits would come over to the corner of their cage and muzzle up against my staffordshire's muzzle as if they were kissing! these Lambs and my Staffordshire were so gentle and friendly toward each other! this happened time after time regardless which cage of lambs we visited! Gage is a 2 year old male he is very lovable and adorable, of course I had him on a leash or actually secured with a thick soft cotton rope! we walked around the fair and countless children wanted to pet him, and they as well as adults we're constantly drawn to him! In each case I would introduce gage to them by name, and then I would kneel down and we would talk to the dog and I would talk to the child and we would pet Gage! Gage is very gentle and loving toward kids and adults as well! he's a very loving dog! I did not see one other person with a dog at the Clark County Fair which I thought was strange! Gage gets along good with people and other dogs as well! Gages is by Nature a very gentle creature along with being very interested and curious toward other animals and people! He is a brindle with a very large head and very muscular, I suppose he might weigh 50 or 60 pounds, I've not weighed him, and he is so sweet and gentle! He's a wonderful member and part of our family!

My friends Staffy likes to bring you his toy and then he'll do a growl (Similar to the Rottie Rumble) to get your attention. Once you touch his toy and recognize him he'll happily saunter off with toy. He just wanted to show off his toy. In some ways these dogs remind me of Rotties in a small package. My Rottweiler passed away last fall and I'm torn between another Rottie or making the move to the Staffy. As I get older I can see the advantages of having a smaller dog. I have to say though, my Hanna was the most loving and loyal dog I've ever had and that's a tough standard to live up to.

#1 was so interesting! I always thought dogs will be dogs and felt it would be unreasonable to think that 2 dogs may not get into with eachother. It can happen. People have been surprised at how I break up two dogs that get into it. I've always just jumped in and never thought anything of it. My staffy has never even biten me on accident when breaking something up. I never put much thought into why others have described me as being fearless when breaking up dogs. I guess I never thought about it. It likely because of my personal experiences with staffys that makes it so that the thought of them biting me has never crossed my mind. Thinking of it now, I would be shocked if I was ever biten. Thats very interesting to me. If she finds a chicken bone, i can take them out of her mouth and thinking nothing of it but I wouldn't allow another dog to try to do the same thing with her. That's amazing. They are truly a bread of their own. After having one, I will always have a staffy.

Staffies are homeless, why.... but they are such clean dogs, with almost no shedding, they learn all things so quickly, and they love to please all people and I mean all of them, they are gentle tanks. Their own human is their VIP, they love their family to the moon and back. My staffy boy was so understanding with me. We have been active daily since he was two months old and came home. After about a year of active life, I suddenly had to have surgery and wasn't able to walk and train him while recovering from it. He had no problem spending time at home with me, he didn't start destroying things. Then my dad died, and my dog helped me through it, by just being by my side and kissing the sadness away. They are full of energy, baravery life force, intelligence, understanding, fun, happiness, and love.

I'd stay away from most tinned dog food. Especially Pedigree and the like. It's mostly cereal with less that 10% meet. Butchers seems to be one of the best tinned food. Good luck with your new dog.

He is literally the sweetest most cuddly dog. He will lay right on you and give you kisses until he falls asleep. He never is aggressive to anything he even tries to play with my cat who could care less about him. He even understands who he can really play tug of war with too. When my significant other tries to play then koda will use all his strength. But if my daughter tried playing, he'd barely pull and jump around. I always had a huge heart for pitbulls but now seeing the staffy they are just as wonderful.

The most loving dog. Love our boy

[@theunknownstuntman4010]

All Staffys are thief's, they will steal kisses, steal your food but most of all they will steal your damn heart

[@anthonyrewti4948]

My staffy Oreo was returned twice at the shelter before he rescued me. He was out of control and bullying my wife. After 1 month she wanted to return him. They told at the shelter that if we brought him back they will have to put him down. So I chose not to give up on him. With patience, assertion time and lots of you tube video he is now the best family pet.

[@kevsbear]

I have a staffy …. Wasn’t my first choice but the more I read up on the breed the more I wanted one ………. And I’m so pleased to say they are the most loyal dog he’s very good with other dogs doesn’t bother him if they bark … great with people as well and always looking for hugs who ever that maybe and they are a really intelligent knows quite a few tricks… now can I also point out this is my first dog I’m 59 and he’s been the best thing ever to come into my life he loves me lots but hey I love him just the same back

[@10304KH]

I have a staffy named Ziggy. He will be 14 in June. I’ve had a wonderful life with him. I worked from home his entire life. We hiked about 1k miles a year for about 10 years of his life. He’s been through so much with me. Marriage, children, moves. They are a gentle breed but I’ll say this, if any dog tried to become between him and I playing fetch he would be a totally nut. No mercy with his dominance to show a dog that it’s just him and i playing. Ring a dogs neck or pinch the crap out of the rib area. Another scenario would be a dog trying to dominate him after he showed he was cool by rolling on his back. If this happened he would become real stiff in appearance and his ears would be straight up with just the tips a little loose. That meant he was about to become violent. Usually it would start by him standing on the shoulders of the other dog with his front paws. If I saw this I would do my best to run over and remove him from the situation. Besides that a total mutant love bug. I can’t imagine my life without him. I wish it was longer or somehow magically he would be with me until my last breath.

[@prison1231]

I have had many different dog breeds, and my boy Thor is the most wonderful loving dog. Love staffies

[@sensibill1]

Also known as the "nursery dog" The staffie has a great love for children and will not harm them in normal circumstances

[@thetruthchannel7073]

No Nanny dog

[@neilmurray7842]

Never known as the Nanny Dog in the breeds entire documented history which goes back to the 1820s . It was made up nonsense in the 1970s by breeders to sell dogs to gullible fools like you ….

[@frosty8901]

Planning on adopting one, only year and 8 months hes been shelted since birth? How should ibplan for care?

[@adebrade172]

My first dog was mixture of staff and eng bull, second dog pedigree eng bull, now I have blue staff,love em

[@kevinwaters5872]

Staffies are the most human loving dogs. All they need is a person to let them show their loyalty and love.

[@marka8537]

They kill the most humans

[@KrilleCaveman]

Staffies are so loving caring and empathic, i will never get another breed, my staffie are so random haha

[@danieldawson222]

I have owned many different breeds of dogs in my life, but I can honestly say that my 17mon old blue pit girl is the most loving loyal dog I have ever owned. I don't even say that she is a pit bull because she Has never seen a pit, I just say she is my baby bull dog!

[@NickyDunn]

The best dogs, my boy is Two today. How that time has flown.

[@aaronharrington8658]

I approve this video!

[@gwis100]

I’ve rescue Staffy in Poland. In Uk Staffy its popular breed but in Poland is very rare. There is fb group where ppl looking to rehome staffy in Poland and some ppl waiting a long time.

[@jamescarrington5521]

I took in a 2 mos. old American Staffordshire Terrier rescue puppy over 2 years ago, and this dog is THEE....best, sweetest dog I've ever owned!! From that very first night, he has slept with me in my bed, and I love it! He props his big, square, bicycle-shaped head up against my chest or my neck or the side of my face, and he snores in my ear all night long!! He's lovable, he's SMART, and he makes us laugh every day! He was housebroken in less than 3 weeks, too! He DOES perhaps LOOK just a bit intimidating if you haven't yet met him, BUT....he's the BIGGEST BABY and the friendliest dog ever!! He loves people, kids, and other dogs, too; all he wants to do is PLAY; "Tug-of-war" is his all-time FAVORITE game to play. To the casual observer, he sounds like he's about to make a deadly attack on whoever is playing with him, but it's all play; these dogs cannot help the fact that they have such deep, resonant barks and playful growls; THEY'RE GREAT FAMILY DOGS!! I cannot stress that enough!

[@wolverinebear5357]

Anyone know where i can get a pup in the mid-Michigan area? A staff

[@Lulu-oi9ue]

Meg a cute blue male today. I can’t wait to get one of my own.

[@mollienight]

I have a dog reactive staffie cross. I have to walk him with a prong collar and basket muzzle during the day, but at night I try to walk him off lead as much as possible to test his recall amongst other things - he's been exceptional. I love dogs, and training dogs. I hope one day to walk him off lead in daytime with all the distractions, but it is a slow process of education. It's funny, but one dog walker asked me if my dog was a mastiff. There are similarities, but I believe my staffie was crossed with a golden labrador - the double coat and face absolutely scream labrador to me. Chihuahuas are the most aggressive breed, I was bitten by a chihuahua when I was 9 yo, he drew blood, but no-one cares. My staffie is very smart and learns quickly. He is a teddy bear. I'm hoping to walk him off leash like I do with my labrador cross.

[@mightymikethebear]

I got my staffie from a shelter and he is a Good Boy.

[@woodenspoonfulHQ]

Our staffy loves eating ice cubes and frozen cubes of Greek natural yoghurt with a raspberry popped in!

[@leefoster1184]

Something I have noticed since having mine is people get a staffy and think they are sofa dogs don't never take them out and wonder why their bouncing off the ceiling

[@user-mk6qp1hz1z]

Does this apply to staffy Crosses?? My dog is a purebred does it make a difference??

[@user-mk6qp1hz1z]

Need answers otherwise what's,the point .. I google about my dog every night.. tell me something I've not read.. curious!!!

[@tonywilkinson6895]

Best breed on Earth!😊

[@barbdelp2840]

My staffie thinks she's an 85 lb lap dog giving tons of doggy kisses!

[@norellebarnett7636]

They love a couch and bed, beautiful animals

[@rosemarielee7775]

True, but usually after a 2 hour walk!

[@richardrampersad1654]

BEST DOG BREED EVER

[@sandwichbebussin9206]

My staffy is a doll with any other animal and she adores the kids super aware of people's safety and loves all the treats

[@unclesunbro1577]

Best dog I've ever had.

[@PureNRG2]

Apparently the Brits know and appreciate a great dog breed.

[@Akartavor]

My SBT is amazing. Best dog breed ever and Ive had a Beauceron, American Bulldog, Lab, Bouvier, and Doberman. They are perfect IMO. People scared of them are just ignorant. Love them!!

[@laroux123]

More focus should be put on the owners of these “dangerous” breeds as, that’s usually where the problems stem from. It’s sad to have to ban any breed imo. My brother has a Dogo Argentino and he’s the biggest t baby you’d ever meet!

[@darrellsomers5427]

The blue Paul is in the mix to create the English staffie I believe it goes back to the 1700 hundreds

[@illmaticnj1991]

I lucked out. I live in NJ. Adopted what I thought was a pit bull. But after months of research, found out she is a staffy, not a am staff. She can be a handful but a great dog overall

[@HopperBlueSkies]

In germany, more specific bavaria and some other states, staffies are on the list 1 and are not allowed. If you look into "tierheim münchen", there are a lot in munich. But we are not allowed to own one here... sooo i would love to get one out of shelter... but Germany is so strict and prohibited the staffy

[@shotgunscott]

I'd prefer to adopt a Staffy over most other breeds. Chihuahua, Chow, Sharpei, Akita, and min-pins are so much more difficult to have around various people. My Staffy is dog selective, but if they're friendly then there's no problem. When I'm in public, I watch other dogs owners and can tell in advance if there's going to be an issue. If the dog is aggressive and the owner is timid, can be problematic. But she's absolutely the gentlest dog I've ever had around complete strangers kids, even more so than my previous golden retrievers.

[@77936fief]

yeah, don't say the word "ball" in front of them, they lose their shit.these are the most loveng,caring dogs on this planet

[@gerardlecordier4698]

I own and breed these dogs(english/American staffies),if you're looking for a life long loyal partner,this dog is perfect for you. These dogs are also perfect for a family with small kids or babies. As a guard dog forget about them attacking humans anything else best be aware!!

[@faukerconsulting835]

[@AB-C1]

They're THE BEST Dog breed! 100% and the best family dogs! Anyone who has had one or knows people that have, they're the Safest and Friendliest Dog Breed around especially with kids etc fantastic temperament! Loving, Kind, Gentle, Protective and Fearless in face of danger! As with ALL Dogs, socialising and puppy classes or Dog training if an adopted dog is a good idea also as gets them used to other Dogs. That goes for ALL breeds! But their natural temperament is the Friendliest and most loving and loyal of ANY of the Dog Breeds 100%! They're great for anyone from young people and families to older people as they can be hugely playful! But also like to lay around sleep, be cuddled and stroked like a big lap dog! And they're very gentle when they need to be.. Great Companion Dogs! They've often been used as therapy dogs and trained as working dogs of various forms including for those with disabilities! 👍❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@phillipherholdt8637]

It's only the owner themselves, puppy see puppy do. 🐶

[@vovpets5486]

Idk why people try to turn them into guard dogs. They would much rather play with the burglar than harm him.
