Staffies are the smallest of the bull terrier breeds. Descendant from a line of terriers bred to tussle with bulls prior to the beast's slaughter (hence bull terrier) this plucky breed, though no longer used for such tough endeavours, still displays those fearless and determined qualities.

Staffies are very affectionate human-orientated dog who are always happy to see you, loves nothing more than playing with the kids and will roll over if given the slightest opportunity for a tummy rub.

The breed could well be described as a ‘keg on legs’. Well muscled hindquarters are balanced with large shoulders, a solid, broad head and a short, strong muzzle. Coat colours include brindle, red, fawn, white, black or blue, the colour may be solid or appear with white marking
