Also known as Staffie
Powerfully built, famously fond of people
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is affectionate and remarkably tolerant with people, including children. The care requirement is social: many Staffies are less comfortable with unfamiliar dogs, so walks and meetings need managing.
This breed needs about 75 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Very little. A weekly brush with a rubber mitt removes loose hair and keeps the short coat in good condition.
Small, fearless, and always looking for the next mission
A tireless thinker that needs a job as much as a walk
A cheerful nose on four legs, happiest in company
