Staffordshire Bull Terrier Info & Staffordshire Bull Terrier Breeders

Ideal Home for a Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Families with children are well suited to the Staffy, given their good nature with children. This breed requires human companionship and so should not be left alone or outside for long periods of time. They also thrive on attention so owners should have sufficient time to play with their dogs. Given the energetic nature of this breed, owners should also be prepared to exercise their dog on a daily basis otherwise they can be prone to boredom and misbehave.

Staffordshire Bull Terriers need to be very well trained as early as possible to prevent the dog from becoming unruly, so their owner should be committed to provide training as early as possible. When training, the owner should be prepared to be consistent but also affectionate. 

How Much Space and Exercise Does a Staffordshire Bull Terrier Need? 

Given Staffordshire Bull Terriers’ athleticism, abundance of energy and high intelligence, regular exercise is a must so that these dogs can remain mentally and physically fit and do not become destructive. This exercise can include fetching a ball, running or walking alongside an owner or any other type of physical activity that challenge them mentally and physically. However, these dogs are sensitive to heat and so should not exercise excessively when it is hot.

Grooming Needs 

This breed does not require too much maintenance. They have little odour and so bathing is not required on a regular basis - monthly is enough.  A good brushing over weekly to remove any dead or loose hair and will keep the coat shiny. Dirt will come out very easily upon brushing, given the short length and smoothness of the dog’s coat.
