About the Staffordshire Bull Terrier :
A small dog of 13 to 16 inches, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier should never weigh more than 40 pounds. His compact body is heavily muscled and presents a pleasing picture, not too wide, and not narrow. His coat comes in the acceptable colours of fawn, white, red, black, any shade of brindle, blue, with or without white.

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier's head and face are by far the most striking of his features. His broad head and contemplative expression give this dog a serious look, hiding his playful nature.
Affectionately called "The Nanny Dog" in England, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier belies the reputation given to him by those who are unfamiliar with him, and is a trustworthy companion to children and adults alike. True to Terrier nature, however, he can be stubborn at times and requires firm, but loving handling to prevent him from taking over the home.
