What breed of terrier do you love?

Wow, I’m honored to have you come by and give us a comment such that you did!

Great information and I can appreciate your feelings and sentiment.

I always thought it was funny that they would name a dog of another city in another country and put American or Irish, or any other country for that matter, in front of it. Imagine an English Boston Terrier, or an American Irish Setter…???

I think it’s amazing that the town’s bells would ring in a new litter of pups! That’s unbelievable! What great history on this breed.

Also, thank you for the time-line information.

I know they are really tough dogs, and bred from the finest fighting machines!

Feel free to come by any time James!

I would like to highlight a few facts that have been ‘overlooked’. Firstly, there is no such breed as the ‘American’ staff. Staffs come from ENGLAND, not the U.S.A.
They are called Staffordshire bull and terriers because they were bred from bulldogs that were also bred in Staffordshire, these bulldogs were some of the most highly prized bully’s in modern history; the towns bells would ring when a bitch gave birth.

These bulldogs were bred with the most ferocious terriers to create the ultimate fighting dog a mix of awesome speed and explosive power and one of the hardest bites in the canine world.

To take a staff to America and call it American is a travesty and blatant plageurism. The U.S already stole one kind of bull terrier when the U.K banned blood sports and all the fighters were taken to America, where it was still legal. These dogs are now called ‘American pit-bulls’ because the U.K kennel club refused to make bull-terriers a pedigree. So the Americans created the united kennel club and the first dog ever registered was, surprisingly, an American pit-bull terrier, blatant theft!

Irish staffs don’t exist, neither do long legged. So, that should clear a few things up for anyone that thought they knew; now you KNOW!

This really is a beautiful breed of terrier! Interesting that where pit bulls are banned, this breed sometimes gets heaped into that category as well……
