AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER

History - The American Stafforshire terrier, a descendant of an English bulldog crossed with an unidentified terrier, was created in the 19th century primarily for pit fighting.

Temperament - The American Stafforshire terrier is very affectionate to famly members, including children, and to most strangers.  Because of its fighting background, it should always be walked on-leash and kept in a fenced area when playing.  Aggressive games like tug-of war should not be played with dogs from fighting stock. They should be supervised around other animals.  Early socialization and obedience training are adviced.

Upkeep - The Stafforshire Terrier need only a minimal brushing and bathing six times a year.  This dog needs a few long walks and aerobic-leve play sessions daily.

Size - height 17-19 inches, weight 50-65 pounds.
