A born fighter, the Staffordshire was the perfect combination of the Bulldog and the Old English Terrier of the seventeenth century. He possessed the strength and gameness of the Bulldog with the speed and agility of the Terrier. The performance of this cross was tested in the dog pit and therefore, natural selection, over a period of decades produced the perfect fighting machine.

Prior to the formation of the Breed Club in 1935, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was commonly known as the Bull and Terrier or the Pit Dog.

Today with the abolition of the barbarous sport of dog fighting, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier has taken on a different breed type.

At Stoutheart Staffords we breed to preserve the old qualities of toughness, courage, tenacity, and type, without sacrificing the wonderful temperament that is still inherent in the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. We do not breed to give the illusion of power, but breed for true strength, character and agility. Our puppies are home raised and their temperaments and health are guaranteed in writing.
