English Bully Staffy Bull Terrier Breed History

The name English Bully Staffy Bull Terrier is a combination of the names of the dog’s parent breeds, the English Bulldog and the American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the Pit Bull Terrier. The American Staffordshire Terrier, became popular in early 1800s when it was developed in the English region of Staffordshire for dog fighting. It was originally called the “Bull and Terrier” and was likely an Old English Bulldog and Terrier mix. Eventually, dog fighting was banned and the breed migrated to the United States where breeders sought to increase the dog’s weight and head size. This variety became known as the Pit Bull Terrier and was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1936. In 1972, it was renamed the American Staffordshire Terrier –  though the Pit Bull nickname has stuck with the breed. The origin of the other parent breed, the Bulldog, is widely debated although this trusty breed has  been a member of the American Kennel Club since 1886. He is a member of the Non Sporting group, which is a bit ironic considering he was originally bred to participate in sport (the cruel practises of bull-baiting and dog fighting). Now the official mascot for Yale University, along with many other schools, this endearing dog is presently the 4th most popular dog breed according to the American Kennel Club roster. The English Bully Staffy Bull Terrier is likely to have been bred for decades, given its parent breeds’ close relation and geographical closeness. However, it is not widely recognized today and regulated or recognized by the AKC.

He's very stubborn but loves my entire family. However, or other family dog, a 112 lb. Black lab doesn't really like him because he's always trying to get her to play. He is such a glutton though and will try to steal her treats after he's devoured his.

The most loving dog, and most obedient dog i have ever seen. But also quite irritating because it's so smart, way smarter that most humans, so it tries to manipulate people. He has a tendency to get mad if i have been gone for 12+ hours, and occasionally tries to fight a bit just to see if it has gotten stronger, but it will never do no harm as long as you say "ouch!" and it will quickly learn where the limit is. Chico is 4 years old and i have not had him neutered i would definitely recommend doing so if you are not trying to breed your staffy, because due to it's beautiful appearance female dogs are very interested, and unfortunately he is in pain when he can't get his action, but i will neuter him as soon as he gives me a puppy. Other wise the greatest dog ever, i could not ask for a better companion in life. But remember to be tough on the dog, if you can't be the most dominant in your home DO NOT GET THIS DOG. I walk freely with my dog, and it will never go to another dog, it will never bark, and it will always listen. But it takes a hard hand. And it takes a lot of love.... This dog really needs attention when you are present. it does not need you as much as other dogs, but when you are there you gotta show it love, cause your dog will always be a representation of you. Please treat this dog well and don't ruin this for other people, it's already illegal in Denmark and it's due to poor and wrong raising of the dog. Sincerely. Marc
