The American Staffordshire

 

The American Staffordshire terrier is a descendant of an English bulldog crossed with an unidentified terrier and was created in the 19th century primarily for fighting. It should give the impression of great strength for his size, muscular but agile and graceful. He should be stocky, not long-legged or racy in outline. Always buy from a reputable breeders for good temperament.

The American Staffordshire terrier is courageous and very affectionate with family members, including children, and to most strangers. Because of its fighting background, however, it should always be walked on-leash and kept in a fenced area when playing. Early socialization and obedience training is required.

This dog needs a few long walks and daily exercise.

Height: 17-19 inches
Weight: 50-65 lbs.
Life Span: 12-14 yrs.
