AMERICAN STAFFORSHIRE TERRIER
History - The American Stafforshire terrier, a descendant of an English bulldog crossed with an unidentified terrier, was created i the 19th century primarily for pit fighting.
Temperament - The American Stafforshire terrier is very affectionate to family members, including children, and to most strangers. Because of its fighting background, however, it should always be walked on a leash and kept in a fenced area when playing. Aggressive games like tug of war are ill advised with dog from fighting stock, and they should be supervised around other animals. Early socialization and obedience training are advised.
Upkeep - Although the American Stafforshire terrier needs only minimal brushing, bathing three to six times a year is important for healthy skin and coat. This dog needs a few long walks and aerobic-level play sessions daily.
Size - height 17-19 inches, weight 50-65 pounds.
