I have had 2 staffordshire bulls and they both were sweet as pie. AND they were both adobped and were abused. They are good dogs.

Having a staffie is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had

[sarataylor]

I’ve had my staffy for 6yrs - today at 11yrs old she passed away because of an aggressive stomach cancer inside her stomach. She was the best, the sweetest, most loyal, loving best friend I ever had (more so than any human to be honest) - she wanted nothing more to please & be loved. Loved she was, still is even though she’s in heaven now, she always will be. She loved back equally, unconditionally & hard too. That’s what Staffies do - love hard, loyally & unconditionally.

November 2016, I broke my leg which meant I needed surgery for pins & plates. When I came home from hospital, she stayed by my side for the first 3nts. Not once did she move, in some ways I think it was her natural nannying instinct coming out. To nanny, to watch over her loved ones. It’s hardly surprising when Staffies are known as the nanny dog in the K9 world. It’s been a recurring theme of staying by my side through thick & thin, the good, the bad & the ugly - never once waived in her love, affection or loyalty. She’s been the best part of 6yrs.

She is the reason why I fell in love with Staffies. She is the reason why I’ll never have another breed of dog. Seeing her deteriorate has been one of the most heartbreaking sights I’ve ever seen, but I’ll take any pain/lows that comes with owning a Staffy (especially when they suddenly get aggressively sick) for a shred of loyalty & love they give to their people - in a heartbeat.

R.I.P Lola my sweetheart, my Angel & my best friend - when it’s my time I’ll meet you again & we’ll be together forever. To life, death & beyond, I love you - always have always will ❤ 🐶 👼 🪦

Best breed I ever owned. My Zach was found abandoned on the streets of Newport News and I found him at the Humane Society. He was a very loving dog.. he once growled at a boyfriend who was in a mean spirit. He was trained with good manners by someone before I owned him. He strutted like a panther, but when anyone showed him attention he smiled and wagged his tail. He lived 13 years and I miss him to this day and always will.

You had me at ‘people will distance themselves from you’ 😂

Our Staffy found us. He was dumped on a rural state route and left to fend for himself. We were driving that road when we encountered him, walking the center line. We pulled over and I opened my door, thinking about getting out. Was no need to get out. He walked around to my side, crawled into the car, sat on the floor, and laid his head in my lap. We are retired seniors, and live in a 600 sq ft cabin, and at that time we had 2 other dogs (one has since passed) and 4 cats! We had no room for such a big guy, and at the time he had a dislike of cats, and so though it saddened us, we started looking for a good home for him. The shelter had deemed him “unadoptable” because he’d lunged at one of them. I tried explaining that he thought he was guarding me, they said dogs don’t bond with humans that quickly. BULL!!! Long story short, 2 & 1/2 years later, he is now family. He’s going NOWHERE!! And I still say that with love in my heart, a 1/2 hour after he knocked me down for the 3rd time. Took me clear off my feet this time! He’s nearly 100 lbs, I’m around 125, with osteoporosis!

This advice was dead on accurate, but if you're willing to invest the time and overlook the "reputation" the breed has inherited over time the Staffy won't disappoint, best dog I ever owned.

[SandraKindreich]

I have an amazing staffie. They're stubborn, crazy, loving, loyal and he has never shown the slightest sign of aggression. He's an adorable goofball and I wouldn't swap him for the world ❤❤

[michaelkerr]

I've had many breeds throughout the years got my first two Staffordshire bull terriers 12 years ago still have them now and they have completely stole my heart I will only ever have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier from now on anybody who has had one will confirm how amazing they are

[craigcomrade]

I raised my Daisy from a puppy for 16 years until she passed of old age on 12-24-23. Good luck changing my mind on pitties ya Mick!

[Notreallyherer]

You could never put me off these dogs. Beautiful and unbelievable dogs. I love them

[sharonpanetta]

I sure was lucky with my ataffy! Adopted her at a year old, she was smart as a whip, easy to train, wanted nothing more than wanting to please, and got me through all the hard parts in the 16 years we were side by side. She elevated my life so much by just being in it. Sadie Lady was a good girl!

[rememberme]

I've always had staffies and every one have been so loving and loyal even with the children, Beautiful loving dogs.

[ethanmichael]

My staffy is such a sweet boy, got him from a neglectful owner. Never had to train him, he was just already super friendly and outgoing to other dogs and people. Couldnt ask for a better dog

[taniakblifter]

getting my first staffy tomorrow from the shelter. it was love at first sight. quite looking forward to losing a few 'friends' 😂

[BusuNgen]

My nine year old Oskar is the most caring loving and funniest dog i’ve ever had.. and i’ve had a lot of different dogs. His gentle but funny personality makes him loved by everyone he meets! These breeds are without a doubt the best there is..❤️

[aetherflow]

They are the no.1 most abandoned breed =( we rescued her at maybe 6mos old, she was abandoned near out in the country in a field near Wintertime..
Best dog I've ever had. I still cry when I think about her being gone now.. She was SO SMART. She knew how to unlock the deadbolt and turn the doorknob to get into the backyard, so we had to put up baby gates when we weren't home..😅 We joked she was our little raptor.. (she was harmless, never so much as growled at anyone, was wonderful with our little nephews when they were babies, but, was never really socialized with other dogs, , so she did not really like to be around them..she wasn't ever aggressive with them, she would just run away or ignore them when they tried to play.)
She knew several commands that could be given in sign language, as well as verbally. She knew the names of a dozen of her toys/babies and could retrieve any of them that you asked for. She was so lovable. She would jump up and sit in my lap like a recliner like she was still a puppy.. She had lots of energy and loved to run around the yard and go on long walks. Our vet called her the wonderdog because she lived to be over 15 1/2 years, their life expectancy is around 12-14. She was such a pretty girl.. I miss her dearly. If you train them right as a puppy, they will be one of the best family members you will ever have... don't let anyone tell you different!

They are great dogs. I found my dog Bo and his pack left in an abandoned building in the dead of summer. He had the sweetest temperament even in that tough situation and was always happy to see me even when the rest of his pack were barking at me. I knew I had to adopt him. This video has definitely helped put me at ease about what a good fit my lifestyle is for his needs. Thank you for that. A loving and intuitive owner is important when dealing with a strong animal as well as being able to put in the time that they need in order for them to thrive.

[blairmarshall]

I can’t thank you enough for this channel. I recently lost my boxer. Well over a year ago and got myself a staffie. She is adorable and very energetic most of the time. These videos have helped me and her communicate 10x better over the last few day. Thanks again definitely subscribed 👍🏼🙌🏽

[stevenicol]

Best dog I ever had, devoted loyal and affectionate, so intelligent and easy to train! Bit narky with other dogs on occasion
