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. |
