Courageous, loyal, and playful, the Border Collie Bull Staffy originated from the Border Collie and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. This breed can become a nuisance barker if early training is not provided. The Border Collie Bull Staffy will be likely to resemble the Staffordshire Bull Terrier in terms of appearance in addition to dominant traits. While its history is not well-documented, the breed has been bred for its strength and watchful eye while out in the field. This alert canine has been known to provide excellent guarding services in addition to making a wonderful companion pet. The breed will likely take after the Staffordshire Bull Terrier in terms of its short, but dense coat. Maintenance is easy-going with daily brushing and regular exercise.

Border Collie Bull Staffy Breed History

The Border Collie Bull Staffy mix results from the parent breeds – the Border Collie and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Like many other hybrid breeds, the origin of this breed is widely unknown. Hybrid breeds are often cross-bred in order to eliminate previous health conditions. The Border Collie Bull Staffy is a relatively healthy breed with very little health concerns. There was evidence of the Border Collie dating back to wood carvings created by Thomas Beckwith. The early version of the Border Collie consisted of rough-coated and smooth-coated varieties with a similar appearance to the modern one. The history of the Border Collie is often disputed due to the many existing theories on how the breed originated. At one point, it as believed that Queen Victoria fell in love with the breed while on a trip to Balmoral. In 1906, the Border Collie standard was introduced to the public. This affectionate and lively breed has been occasionally used as guide dogs. In 1995, the Border Collie was recognized by the American Kennel Club. Like the Border Collie, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was known for its agility in the field. It was cross-bred with the Old English Bulldog and the Black and White Terrier. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier was bred to be welcoming to humans and became a loving companion, despite the fact it had been used for dog fights. In 1935, the English Kennel Club recognized the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. In 1974, the AKC officially recognized the breed. While its original purpose was to be a fighter in the ring, the loving canine was adored by families. The Border Collie Bull Staffy’s parent breeds are both recognized by the AKC. However, due to its hybrid status, the Border Collie Bull Staffy is not officially registered. 

Border Collie Bull Staffy Breed Appearance

With hybrid breeds, each canine can vary in appearance due to genetics. While this may be the case, the Border Collie Bull Staffy has been known to closely resemble the Staffordshire Bull Terrier in appearance. Its athletic, muscular build is due to the Staffy. Its tail is of short-length and does not take after the Border Collie at all, who has a perky tail covered in long fur. Its dark, rounded eyes resemble the Staffy as well. Its coat is short but dense and water-repellent. Its strong muzzle tapers slightly to the nose. The nose is generally a dark color. The body of this sturdy canine is proportional in length to the rest of the body.

Border Collie Bull Staffy Breed Maintenance

The Border Collie Bull Staffy is not considered a hypoallergenic breed. If you are allergic to dander, you will want to reduce the frequency of shedding by daily brushing. Daily brushing will eliminate any dead hairs as well. Shedding levels are moderate for this breed and it is important to use a pin or slicker for easy maintenance and tangle control. Even though the coat is short it is dense, which requires upkeep in order to look neat. The teeth of your hybrid should be cleaned on a regular basis as plaque can accumulate and lead to decay or periodontal disease. Trimming of the nails is essential, especially in such an on-the-go breed who may be prone to tears and cracks of the nails if they are left too long.

Border Collies and Staffordshire Bull Terriers often suffer from hypothyroidism, progressive retinal atrophy, and hip dysplasia. Secure pet health insurance today to avoid high veterinary care costs.

Border Collie Bull Staffy Temperament

The Border Collie Bull Staffy inherits much of his personality from both parent breeds. He is protective, affectionate, energetic, intelligent, and playful. This breed makes an exceptionally well-rounded family companion. He loves to be in on the action and prefers to be surrounded by people. Guarding the home is one of his priorities when he is both indoors and outdoors. The Border Collie Bull Staffy gets along quite nicely with children. Because he may be hesitant towards strangers, it is imperative to provide early socialization in order for this breed to become fully accepting of others. This guarded breed will want to protect against intruders and other animals so extra precaution should be taken with them. Use positive reinforcement with your dog in order to prevent any instances of fearful aggression. The Border Collie Bull Staffy is considered to be a smart breed that will quickly learn the ways of how to behave with his family. His energy levels are very high.

Border Collie Bull Staffy Activity Requirements

It is highly recommended to provide your Border Collie Bull Staffy with the necessary exercise in order to maintain physical and mental stimulation. This breed has high energy levels which means both intense play and work are needed. The Border Collie parent loves a job to do and the Staffy has the genetics for alertness; your hybrid will enjoy agility competitions, hiking and maybe even flyball.  An hour a day of energy expenditure per day will keep your hybrid content and allow him to feel useful. The Border Collie Bull Staffy will do best in a home with a spacious yard. Apartment life is not recommended as this breed loves to bounce around and can engage in property destruction if not provided with the necessary outlets. This versatile canine would thrive in either climates but a warm climate is best.

We are in love with our Marley, he is intelligent, fun, energetic, playful, loving and very protective to his family and territory which is good for us, but can be abit scary when somebody like the postman comes into our garden, so have started keeping him in the back garden when in the house, hes not too keen on strangers, but once he gets to know you he is very lovable, he has blue eyes which is very unusual for his breeds, but he is such an adorable chap and he makes us all so happy as he is owned by 6 of us altogether as we share him between myself and my partner, my son and his girlfriend, and my daughter and her boyfriend x

Even though we have only had Elsie for just over a month (she is a rescue puppy), her foster parents worked with her and she is well trained and now very easily trainable. She is active, intelligent and extremely lovable (once she gets to know/trust you). And your Web page is spot on! She mainly resembles a Staff, except her snout is more long and slender as that of a border collie.

He is very protective of one person. Main owner. Very intelligent. Good with children good with cats but can be very dog aggressive if feels threatened. Obedient but excitable. Not for a novice dog owner. Could be dangerous in the wrong hands and bad habits must be nipped in the bud with this breed.

Rocco is a rescue, got his forever home at 9 months old after being surrendered twice to sspca so not properly trained when we adopted him,everything that has said is correct of the breed, coat is like needles if not daily groomed, loves kids even heards them up when i call them to get up for school. Dinner ect lol. Downfall very over protective with outsiders and other dogs if not properly trained as they are very loyal and can be prone to separation anxiety. But all round fun, full of personality breed.

I've had him since he was 4 weeks as he was taken from his mother & the other puppies of the litter very earlier, it's been an exhausting 7 months since but he has the most personality & loving caring nature. I couldn't want more of him he is adorable as much as he can be a little terror & cheeky!

Extremely quick learner. More stubborn and protective than border collie. Loves people. High prey drive. High mental stimulation needed. Like a slightly stubborn border collie with more confidence. Appearance wise, she looks like a big dog that’s shrunk down. She has a border collie body but far more muscular although not as muscular as a staffy. She has a short muzzle like a staffy. Her coat is black and white border collie pattern with short/medium hair. Her black has a barely visible brindle colour to it, as do all the black dogs in her litter. Out of 9 pups there were 6 that were black and white like border collies, one was pure brown, and two were white with brown patches (closer to non blue staffy pattern)

Very affectionate. Loves children. Sulks when told to do something - not naughty but very stubborn. Will chase anything that moves but doesn't have a 'killer instinct - Just enjoys chasing foxes, birds, squirrels, cats, bees, flies. Abit obsessive about ball/stick/stone throwing games and can get abit psychotic about it. Needs constant human company so quite a commitment. But is a very funny, playful, intelligent, energetic companion so worth it. Needs 1 hour walk per day except when it's hot (doesn't tolerate heat well at all). Barking can be a problem. Lives happily with our cat without bothering it (most of the time). Has zero interest in other dogs, just loves humans, and popcorn.

She has a big personality, very friendly with humans, good with kids and babies. She’s quite highly strung and can get a bit anxious. This means she can get a bit aggressive with dogs she doesn’t know. We’re working on this. She also gets separation anxiety. She was very easy to train but is quite stubborn so if she doesn’t want to do something she lets you know. She’s very affectionate and loves to get in my bed at night. When she hasn’t seen one of her favourite people for a while she gets very excited and does a waggle dance. Because she is quite highly strung and energetic she was quite hard work for the first few years, but has definitely mellowed with age.

Our border Heeler Staffy is extremely affectionate. Loves to cuddle and be close to his owner. He has been trained and listens well for his age. He gets along with other dogs and people except if one shows aggression to him. He will then get defense and might begin to defend himself. His altercations have only been with other Staffys.

Kodak enjoys running more than anything. He is so fast. He learns to do tricks within a few days. Even complicated tricks. However, he constantly pulls the leash. He is much nicer off of the leash, it aggravates him occasionally and makes him antsy to run around. He is a sweet dog.

Ruary is exceptionally smart and was trained commands and tricks within a day, taught himself to open doors, understands key words said aloud without being taught and is not stubborn at all with a firm authority. Have had problems with grass allergies but that hasn't gotten too bad at all, does get hot in warmer weather and will always find a puddle to lie in. Raury does occasionally get aggressive with other dogs that act hostile but this is a recent behaviour which we are working on, but is great with humans. He can be picky with food but making sure he isn't spoiled or treated like a baby helps that and he currently has an incredibly muscly and attractive physique (weighing 23kgs!). He craves routine and has so much energy that sometimes its hard to take him out long enough to tire him out which can result in holes being dug, but his affection, loyalty, intellect and all round companionship makes him the best dog I'v ever had (or encountered for that matter). Never runs away when out front and stays nearby off leash. Would highly recommend for anyone who loves to constantly be around their dog and go on adventures!

Our two babies are extremely intelligent, they learn super quick and are very loving. They do love to dig, and miss you terribly when you are not there leading to some distructive behaviour. Our female is more emotionally aware and is usually leading the charge, but she is also quicker in learning tricks and behaviour that we want them to learn and helps teach her brother too. They are very lovable and affectionate, however, they do need brushed at least once per day as the shedding is unreal!

Costelinha (little ribs) was adopted by me and my friends (5 students from Brazil) in early 2018. She was a real prankster that loved to destroy EVERYTHING (from phone chargers to glasses) if she was left alone. But with discipline and patience soon she became a loving, obedient and energetic dog that makes EVERYONE she meets with fall in love (I lost the count on the amount of people that asked for a puppy of hers if she ever breeds)! Anyway, with the right training and patience, you can’t ask for a better dog than a border staffy!

We got our girl at 10 months old, so she is still settling, she is beautiful, and loving and caring and affectionate. She wasn’t treated very well with her 2 previous owners, we are her forever home. She has separation anxiety, we’ve had one panic attack, and she hadn’t been socialised very well because of ‘covid’ as the other people said, however all these things we are working on, and we can already see how much of a lovingly loyal beauty she will be as time goes on. She is very attentive to training, and a fast learner, although if you get her too hyped for treats it goes out the window. Her energy levels are high, and we always take her for an hour long walks that sure bring her energy to chilled temperament at home, all round a beautiful dogo and gets on amazingly with my 5 year old, who she protects above all else :)

Ranger is the sweetest, most loving dog we've ever had. We rescued him almost a year ago and are his third and final family. He has blessed us in more ways than we can count! Ranger's favorite past times are chasing squirrels and other small mammals as well as lizards. He absolutely loves car rides and camping, of which we do a lot. Favorite toys are stuffed animals. He's very protective of our property/campsite but becomes friendly if he senses we are unafraid and unthreatened by someone. Once he has our approval he will just want to play with the newcomer. Finally, he is fast as lightning and loves to run at full speed as much as he can. Thankfully he has five open acres to meet this requirement.
