Staffordshire Bull Terrier
This dog is fun and amiable but needs companionship. It is friendly with strangers and children but may not do well with strange dogs.
Breed Overview
Originating in England during the 1800s, these terriers were used for ratting and today, for companionship. These small and tough dogs are loving, gentle, and playful. They are very amiable, docile, and responsive to their owners. They are low maintenance and excellent with children and even strangers. They are also called “nanny dogs” because they are so gentle and are eager to assume the role of a child's nanny. They are athletic dogs that require a good daily walk or a game outdoors. They make great companions for singles, outdoor enthusiasts, city dwellers, families, and experienced dog handlers. Coat care is very minimal.
