Description
The Staffordshire Bull Terriers are outwardly serious but great companions at heart, big boys that adore everything that has to do with physical activity. They are a bit of a bully, moderately stubborn, and sometimes eager to play the alpha but all this is such trifles compared to their devotion to the owner and family. Almost all Staffordshire Bull Terriers have great intellectual potential, which must be developed in time to raise a smart and understanding friend. These dogs are the best for those who'd like to train them by themselves. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier dogs participate in military parades in Great Britain and are considered the national pride of the country and the army.
