Staffordshire Bull terrier
Staffordshire Bull Terriers were originally bred as fighting dogs in the 19th Century when blood sports, dog fights and Bull Baiting were popular.
Staffyr weight approximately 11–17kg and are around 30–40cm in height, with the females usually on the smaller side. Their body’s are muscular and stocky. Their faces have a broad muzzle often with pronounced cheek bones.
Unlike the Patterdale terrier, the Staffordshire bull terrier is a Kennel Club registered breed. It was only pushed through in the 1930’s and was a challenge as they were originally bred as fighting dogs. Expect to pay around £1000 for a KC registered Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
