Staffordshire Bull Terrier – Spotswood

Reluctantly looking to rehome our beloved pet Missy to the right home, due to a pending overseas relocation. Missy is a bright and good natured 2 year old desexed female, with a very soft temperament, beautiful white/blue colouring, all vaccinations up to date and no health issues. Small / medium 18kg. Missy is great around children and guests, with very loving eyes. She has a great sense of fun and play and is very adaptable with new people and visitors. Missy is house / apartment trained and is comfortable on a lead with a treat-based incentive system in place. She enjoys water sports (beach), chasing the frisbee, hose fun, chewing bones (not furniture) and not barking too much (has an entertaining half-bark). We suspect a Frenchie has been on the scene at some point due to her personality, facial set and size (but cannot confirm) Missy comes with everything needed including full C5 vaccination / paperwork, True Love harness, basket, woolen rug, raincoat, toys and grooming equipment for her loving new family. Missy loves other dogs and attends daycare once a week. She enjoys regular walks, beach outings and is generally social with other dogs. She is quite flexible on sleeping arrangements and happy just outside the bedroom door, beside the bed, or on the bed! She is an inside dog. Location Spotswood. Private sale (not a breeder). Serious enquiries only with an initial phone chat first. Thanks!

- How many animals are you selling and what are the age, sex and colour of each? We are rehoming this gorgeous girl Sky as we are currently working and travelling too much to give her the love she needs. She is a blue staffy with some white markings - What kind of lifestyle are they used to? Food, exercise, sleeping area, routines, etc.? She is willing to sleep or play all day, but requires a good run daily. She loves to play fetch or chase waves at the beach. She currently sleeps on a dog bed in the bedroom or outside in her kennel. - What is their medical history and details of past vaccinations, microchipping, flea and worming treatment? microchipping; she has all of her vaccinations, only requiring annual boosters. She is also desexed. - What is their personality like and how do they get along with new people, other animals, kids and new things? We took her in from a not so nice place and so she is a bit skittish and untrustworthy of new people, mainly men. However once she warms to you after a day or so she is your absolute shadow, willing to do anything and everything with you. I have taken her for walks with pedestrians, she is not aggressive whatsoever, just nervous and scared. She has improved with meeting new people significantly, barking for a small time and then slowly being in their presence. She is completely fine with other dogs and cats. Sky would require someone who is willing to take the time and patience to socialise her over time.

The Ultimate Staffy Guide

About Staffy

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or Staffy, is a medium-sized dog with a robust build. Despite its compact frame, this dog brims with strength, athleticism, and smarts.

Lifespan

Weight

Grooming

Grooming

One of the reasons why Staffies are so popular is because they’re low maintenance. They have short coats that shed little throughout the year. They commonly come in various coat colours, with Blue Staffies being especially popular. Give your dog a weekly brush to get rid of dead or loose hair.

Origins

During the 1600s and 1700s, blood sports gripped the crowds. Dogs lunged at bulls, wrestled bears, and clashed with other beasts—all to rouse cheers from nobles and townsfolk alike.

The early Staffies weren’t chosen for looks. Breeders shaped them for grit—gameness, as it was called—tested in savage rings where animals collided for sport. These early contests carved out the core of what would later become one of the world’s most iconic breeds.

In 1835, Britain stamped out blood sports under new animal welfare laws. But cruelty didn’t vanish—it shifted shape. Dog fighting stepped in. Easier to hide and cheaper to run, it swept through back alleys and rural fields. Breeders started mixing bulky bull-baiters with compact terriers, forging the “Bulldog Terrier” or “Bull and Terrier”—a leaner, spring-loaded fighter tipping the scales at about 27 kilos.

To sharpen reflexes and shrink the frame further, breeders threw Manchester Terrier blood into the mix. The result? The Staffordshire Bull Terrier—muscle-packed, sharp-eyed, and built like a coiled spring, with a weight that lands between 11 and 17 kilos.

Fast forward to today, and the Staffy wears a new coat of reputation. In Australia, these dogs thrive as loyal mates, known for their sharp minds, steady hearts, and love of people. Their brutal beginnings now sit in the past, outshone by their role as affectionate, clever, and courageous companions.

Key Characteristics Of Staffies

Are Staffies Family-Friendly?

Yes, Staffies are among the most affectionate dogs and tend to be gentle with children. However, supervision is still always advised. 

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Staffies may suffer from:

Cataracts

Patellar luxation

a condition where the kneecap dislocates or moves out of its normal location within the knee joint.

Nature / Temperament

These dogs embody loyalty, bravery, and intelligence. They are also quiet, easygoing, and dependable.

Suitable Environment

Staffies thrive in larger apartments, spacious townhouses, and houses.

Other Considerations

  • Staffies flourish in the presence of their owners.
  • They can show aggression toward other dogs, so leash walking is essential.
  • Staffies shed minimally, except for one heavy shedding period each year.
  • Early socialisation is crucial for ensuring your Staffy is friendly with other dogs.
  • Staffies love to dig, so reinforcing the bottom of fences with concrete or chicken wire

How can I take good care of my Staffy?

Nutrition

Feed your Staffy with a well-rounded blend of dry crunch and meaty moisture. These dogs eat with enthusiasm, so you’ll need to scoop with care.

Skip the guesswork—most thrive on about 1 ½ to 2 ¼ cups a day, split into meals that fit their size and stride. Overfeeding stacks on weight fast, and Staffies carry bulk like a bodybuilder in the off-season – best to keep them trim.

Grooming

Staffies are moderate shedders. Brush their coats 1-2 times weekly.

Exercise

These dogs need 1 – 2 hours of exercise daily. Long walks help stimulate Staffordshire Bull Terriers through various sights, smells, and sounds. 

Engage them in high-intensity games or strength training to keep their muscles toned.

Training

Training a Staffy can be challenging due to their loving yet stubborn nature. Novice owners should familiarise themselves with training methods before adopting one.

Experienced owners can train this breed with a firm, confident, and consistent approach. Experts recommend exercising dogs before training sessions.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

  • Dog Chew Toys For Aggressive Chewers
    Dog Chew Toys for Aggressive Chewers Durable Wooden Deer Antler—Natural, Tougher & Safer than Real Bone Finding a chew toy that won't disintegrate in the presence of powerful jaws is harder than you'd think. This Durable Wooden Deer Antler Dog Chew Toy comes pressed from real wood fibers—so it has the grain and density of natural antlers but allows dogs to get the grind and gnaw they're naturally meant to achieve without splintering injury. As an eco-friendly option and one designed to last, this gives chewers who remain determined something to really sink their teeth into. Why Dogs Love This Wooden Antler for Chewing: • Natural & Earth-Friendly – It's formed from compressed wood fibers and is non-toxic to your pup, so there's no risk of plastic. There's even a slight pine smell that wafts at your pup, who loves scents, for extra encouragement. • No Splintering Injuries—It has the sense and feel of a real antler, but it won't split into shards that injure teeth and gums, but instead, it's safe. • Good for Teeth & Gums – It helps scratch plaque off, break up tartar, and work the gums while dogs chew. • Toughened for Aggressive Chewers—It's dense enough to accommodate large-breed pressure, built for jaws that don't quit. • Keeps Teeth & Minds Busy – It diverts chewing away from shoes and table legs, providing a safer alternative for restless dogs looking to exert stress. What Differentiates This Chew from Others: • It allows dogs to engage with their natural impulses. • It cleans as it chews instead of missing areas of the mouth due to other jaw motion (fresh breath guaranteed with gum work). • It's chemical-free, made entirely of wood. • It's strong enough for chew sessions to last a while. Better Than Real Antlers! Offer your dog a chew that satisfies their urge to chew, spares their teeth, and holds up better than cheap alternatives. Add this to your cart for a chew that feels real without the safety hazards.

Most Asked Staffy Questions

Staffies have gotten a bad rep of being aggressive, but this is not true. They are very loving canines and make incredible companions.

As long as they get the right amount of socialisation and training, they will turn out to be friendly. Ensure they are always supervised around children and other dogs.

Yes and no, some like to and others not. But due to their short legs and wide chests, Staffies are at a high risk of drowning. That said, you will have to monitor them constantly around water.

Staffies for sale cost between $500 to $3000 approximately.

A pied staffy is one with white and other blended colours across its body. Also Staffy dogs can come in a range of colours including red, brindle, fawn, white, black or blue.
