The Staffordshire Bull is THE finest dog breed bar none. Highly intelligent, great emotional intelligence- they can always judge your mood accurately. Fiercely loyal and loving, utterly fearless and courageous. Always ready to play a game- terrific energy and a great sense of fun. Superb with children- far more tolerant than many breeds. Staffies are strong characters, they bond very closely to their owners- you never own them, that's because THEY OWN YOU! An intelligent Staffy will soon have its' human owners well trained! :)

Every single aggressive staffy I've seen have always had a complete nobhead on the other end of the lead

They are Friendly, bouncy, clingy and gentle. People are ignorant.

Lost my best buddy back in Feb, he was just short of 15. Still have the odd weep from time to time, but the memories are the treasure I have from the times we spent together. We were joined at the hip and if I left the room he'd be looking for me. Brilliant breed 😀

I have a 6month old staffy and he's the most gentle and funny dog ever, walking him is an adventure he insists on saying hello to every single person that passes by 😅

Always had Staffies, they are the best dogs ever. Wouldn't have any other breed. Staffies are angels sent to guide us!.

After 13 years of living with a Staffie, I can easily say the are an awesome breed. The bad rep is absolutely undeserved (the fault for a "bad" dog is always on the other end of the leash).

Energizer bunny outside, couch potatoe and snoring snugglebug inside. Knowing a Staffie is loving a Staffie, they steal hears left and right.

My staffy loves everyone, dogs, people and even our three cats! She adores children. On our walk up Scafell Pike yesterday she was snarled at by 3 or 4 dogs and didn't react once. I wouldn't have any other breed now. As with any dog, good training is essential. They're bad reputation stems from bad owners who have them because they 'look tough.'

Lost my Ridgeback in April. A month later, my wife and kids adopted two Staffy puppies. They are so affectionate, happy, and those full body wags are one of life's gifts. I miss my Ridgeback, but these two are pure love.

I just lost my staffy Ruby. She was 16 years old and we had so many great memories and was the most loyal and loving dog. I really miss her so much and I am looking for a staffy to adopt so fast to fill in the gap. Thank you for sharing

Staffies are homeless, why.... but they are such clean dogs, with almost no shedding, they learn all things so quickly, and they love to please all people and I mean all of them, they are gentle tanks. Their own human is their VIP, they love their family to the moon and back. My staffy boy was so understanding with me. We have been active daily since he was two months old and came home. After about a year of active life, I suddenly had to have surgery and wasn't able to walk and train him while recovering from it. He had no problem spending time at home with me, he didn't start destroying things. Then my dad died, and my dog helped me through it, by just being by my side and kissing the sadness away. They are full of energy, baravery life force, intelligence, understanding, fun, happiness, and love.

Staffys are the best dog in my opinion, we lost her lost year unexpectedly she was loving friendly dog and was so good around the children. If you have the time and don’t work all day I would definitely recommend a staff. We think about her every day RIP BEAU ❤️

My baby boy Staffy was a gentleman. Loves to please everyone. He gave us a lot of joy and happiness. Miss him dearly.

All I can say is the Staffordshire bull terrier is the sweetest, loving and loyal dog I've known. They are so gentle with children hence they are known as the nanny dog. The kennel club recommend as a family dog.

They are so intuitive .... I have seen one seek out a sad young lady in a wheel chair for a pat. Just to try and cheer her up. I had a tear in my eye ! The young lass beamed afterward, so cute.

I was having my garden done and the landscapers had 2 staffies & the builder had a giant Leonburger. and I fell head over heels in love with all them. They ended up becoming BFFs with my little fluffy dogs and romping round the house and garden together. They were a strange looking pack 😂

[lucaswedderburn]

I met a staffy named Percy and he literally is the sweetest boy ever he literally makes everyone so happy with his goofy, loving personality. I’m getting a pittie/staffy as my first dog because of how unwanted they are.

I adopted a Steffie from a shelter 6 months ago. I got a discount because they said it was almost impossible to re-home her. But she is the sweetest, best listening, quick learning dog I have ever had( she is my seventh ). And she is the best in cuddling and giving kisses when you need them. Only lesser thing is that she sometimes tends to bite visitors in the butt. We don’t know why she does it, she is not aggressive at all and loves people. She also doesn’t have fear of abandonment. But she is already 9 years old and we will probably never find out what has happened to her that she does this so I just keep her close to me when we have visitors and then there is no problem. I just love Staffords and esp mine!! ❤️😍

The best pet and friend of the family we have ever had, not an ounce of aggression to humans in her she loves other dogs if they love or are not aggressive to her. An absolute pleasure to own and care for they give twice as much back if you love and care for them in return.

Been afraid of dogs in the past but got a staffordshire bull as neighbor and just love it 🥰
