Commonly known as Staffy, a medium size, short coated breed of dog of English lineage. Staffies are known for their bold courageous natures, totally reliable and intelligent. Their reputation for being aggressive by nature is totally unfounded and they should not be thought of as being a dangerous breed. Bad press given over the years is not merited or well founded, because Staffordshire Bull Terriers when trained, love and cared for make wonderful, well behaved and affectionate family pet.
