Default Staffordshire Bull Terriers

Anyone have experience with the above dog? How long? Any info is
appreciated. It will help along with the books I've been reading. Thanks.

Thanks.

I adore my Staffie, Sheba. Loyal, friendly, tough, smart...60 pound
Pit Bull in a 30 pound package.

Generally healthy, Sheba did have a problem somewhat common to short
faced breeds...an elongated soft palate...too much tongue for a little
muzzle, and did require surgery. She is not as heat tolerant as many
other breeds, which I have to be careful of here in Las Vegas. But
even in the summer, with plenty of water and sufficient rest breaks,
she'll go all day, hiking, playing, whatever.

I would not recommend a Staffie as a first time dog, as they can be a
handful if not properly raised and socialized. Sheba was heavily
socialized with other dogs from birth, and is not dog aggressive at
all, although like her adopted aunt, Starr, the Pit Bull, she won't
take too much **** from another dog before responding.

I admire the fact that you are doing some research before getting the
dog. Well done.
