Staffordshire Terrier

ownership. The American Staffordshire Terrier will get
on well with older more considerate children but doesn't
do well with other dogs.
The American Staffordshire terrier
dog (AmStaff) was a well-known fighting dog back
in the 1800s, developed by crossing the bulldog with
several types of terriers. The development of this type
of fighter dog began in England, where it was known as
the Staffordshire Bullterrier. After it was brought to
America, where it was enhanced to have a stronger head
and sturdier build, the result of further modification
was established as a separate breed from the English
counterpart. |
