Staffie Bullweiler Breed History

The Staffie Bullweiler is a mix between a Rottweiler and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Other than that, little information is known about this hybrid. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier descends from the Bulldog. It is believed this breed resulted from crossing the Bulldog with the Manchester Terrier. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier was developed with the intention to create a dog that was smaller and faster in the ring, but would be gentle toward people. The first breed standard was written in the late 1830s, after the first Stafforshire Bull Terrier club was created in England. The American Kennel Club acknowledged the Staffordshire Bull Terrier in 1975. On the other hand, the Rottweiler originated in Germany. This breed descended from the Molossus, a Mastiff-type of dog the Romans used to drive cattle on their way to Germany. The Rottweiler resulted from the cross of these Molossus with native dogs from South Germany. The Romans set up colonies in southern Germany, where climate and soil were appropriate for agriculture. Here, they built up red tile villas that, 600 years later, were discovered during an excavation. The town received the name ‘das Rote Wil' (the red tile), adopting the name ‘Rottweiler’ a while after. This town was popular for cattlemen and butchers, and these people used the Rottweiler dogs to drive cattle, keep money safe, and pull carts loaded with meat. Eventually, the rail appeared and the dogs were no longer necessary. This breed became nearly extinct until the first Rottweiler club was founded in 1901 and the first breed standard was created. This breed arrived at America with German immigration in the late 1920s and it became rapidly popular. The Rottweiler was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1931.

Staffie Bullweiler Breed Maintenance

Both of the Staffie Bullweiler’s parents are moderate shedders, so it is safe to say he will shed moderately too. However, the shedding might increase once or twice a year. His coat is short and straight, which makes dirt easy to be brushed out. Brush his fur weekly to remove loose hair and to distribute skin oils. These dogs don’t have a tendency for being smelly, so bathe him only when necessary to avoid drying out his skin. You should also brush his teeth two or three times a week to remove tartar buildup and bacteria. Trim his nails once or twice a month if they get too long. Also, check his ears weekly looking for redness, debris, or inflammation. You can clean his ears with a cotton ball and an ear cleanser.

Staffie Bullweiler Temperament

The Staffie Bullweiler is cheerful, loyal, and intelligent. These dogs are very protective towards their family and property. He will follow commands and will be easy to train, but you must remain firm as he will get stubborn from time to time. It is important to give your Staffie Bullweiler early socialization to ensure they will be friendly with children and other animals. Usually, this hybrid is very friendly with other dogs and is always looking for new friends. But if he takes more after his Rottweiler parent, he might be dog aggressive. Still, these dogs are very sensitive and caring. In order to be happy, he has to spend time with his family, playing and being handled and adored. They do not like to be alone for long periods, and if excluded they can become hostile and damaging. They are also energetic and playful dogs.

Staffie Bullweiler Activity Requirements

This mixed-dog is very energetic and has a high endurance level. He is also prone to overeating and gains weight easily, so daily exercise is necessary. Two or three 30-minute walks per day will keep them in shape. They also enjoy running leash-free in a yard or park, digging, going for a hike, and some dogs love swimming. Having a kid’s pool or taking them to a lake for a nice splash is a fantastic treat for them! These dogs are not suited for living outdoors, especially in hot and humid climates which might affect their breathing. The best environment for him is living indoors in a house, preferably in a cool weather climate or with access to a cool space on a hot day, with a fenced yard to play around in and dig.

We adopted her nine years ago from a shelter. She's so smart and learns easily - she even knows words (even if you spell them out)! She has a Border Collie-mix brother named Loki. Cosmo is easygoing and loves to be near her humans all the time.

We have had him since 8 weeks old, and immediately got parvo from where we got him, almost lost him early on. But he came good and has been a loving dog to his family and those who we have invited into the house. We soon got another dog by accident one day who was a stray, they hit it off straight away when he was 2. they are the same age and the other dog is a silky terrier x. Best of mates, protective of each other and our family. They used to get up to mischief. Digging holes, ripping up sprinklers. The holes though were for them to lay in and keep cool in the summer. The sprinklers were a bit of a problem, This stopped at 5yrs of age. They were pop up sprinklers and had to put them on risers out of the ground. These days both dogs love chilling out and get excited and want to play a few times a day. He is scared of thunder storms, needs to come in side when they happen. Understands many voice commands and is a clever dog. He is healthy, was a bit overweight, but cut down the quantity of food, over a short time this fixed this. Our issue at the moment, is that 18months ago the little dog was biting at buddahs ears and he turned around with his mouth open to say 'enough', but caught the little dog in the eye, he is now blind in one eye, and he was super protective of him for a long time with anyone else other than our direct family. We didnt trust him for a period of time. But he has now grown out of this, as the little dog still has the ability to do everything easily. And we have reintroduced other people to our dogs. On our part we didnt really introduce him to other dogs early on. So he is nervous and aggressive to any dogs that come to our house and wants to be friends with other dogs on walks, but can turn aggressive if the other dog shows any aggressiveness.
