About the Staffordshire Bull Terrier

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a medium dog breed originating in England. Adult dogs typically weigh 24 to 38 pounds and live 12 to 14 years. The breed is described as affectionate, people-bonded, playful, strong.

Active families with secure fencing and insurance + landlord clearance. Nicknamed the "nanny dog" for affection toward kids. Rentals with breed restrictions, homes with free-roaming small pets, or owners unwilling to do consistent training.

Adult Staffordshire Bull Terriers need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 75 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
