The tradeoffs, honestly
Staffies can be intolerant of unfamiliar dogs and are very strong for their size. They chew and need daily exercise, and some landlords and insurers restrict bull breeds.
Common questions
Is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier a good first dog?
It can be, for a committed first-time owner. Staffies are people-loving and trainable, but strong and sometimes reactive to other dogs, so socialization and leash training are essential.
What health problems do Staffies have, and what should be tested?
Hereditary cataracts, L-2-HGA, hip dysplasia, skin allergies and PHPV occur. Ask for DNA results for L-2-HGA and hereditary cataract (HSF4), a recent eye exam and OFA hips on both parents.
Are Staffies good with children?
Usually, yes. Staffies are known for affection with their families, including children. They are strong and boisterous, so supervise play with young kids.
