Origins
The Staffy, or Staffordshire Bull Terrier, was developed in the early eighteenth century by crossing a Bulldog with an ancestor of a Manchester Terrier. The purpose was to create a breed that was suitable for bullfighting and bear-baiting but still friendly enough to be around people.
When the two dangerous sports were banned decades later by animal welfare laws, the first Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club was formed in England. It wasn’t until 1975 that the breed was recognised by the American Kennel Club.
Today, the Staffy is considered a wonderful house pet and is even given the nickname “the nanny dog.”

How can I take good care of my Staffordshire Bull Terrier?
Nutrition
Surprisingly, a Staffy’s coat has a great influence on its health, so it is suggested to speak with your veterinarian about the best diet for your dog. Generally, the recommended daily amount of food to give this breed is 15/8 to 2¼ cups of high-quality food per day, divided into two meals.
It is suggested to always measure your dog’s food intake and avoid leaving out kibbles for it to eat at any time. This way, you prevent it from becoming overweight.
If you feel your dog is a bit on the heavy side, place your thumbs along its spine and your remaining fingers on the ribs. Press the ribs lightly. If you cannot feel them, put your dog on a diet or give it more exercise.
Grooming
Staffies are generally low maintenance due to their short and low-shedding coat. Weekly brushing is enough to remove dead and loose hair. An occasional bath using a sensitive-formula shampoo is recommended, as these dogs are prone to allergies and skin irritation.
Recommended Grooming Tips
These dogs love to chew, so it is suggested to brush their teeth at least twice a week to remove bacteria and prevent tartar buildup.
Nail trimming can be done at least once a month or when your canine’s nails start making clicking sounds on the floor.
Check your puppy’s ears weekly for redness or debris. Make sure to clean both ears regularly with a cotton ball and cleanser to prevent inflammation.
Exercise
Staffies are perfect for people with active lifestyles. This is because they are most happy when they are physically and mentally stimulated. They make wonderful running companions and will even enjoy playing puzzle games with you.
Training
These dogs are very smart and learn quickly, but they can also be freethinkers. Because of this, you need to be patient and consistent when training them. It is advised to reward them for good behaviour instead of punishing them.
Staffies need early socialisation, especially if you want them to be friendly towards kids and other pets. If you are firm and confident, training comes easily.
