The
American Staffordshire Terrier is an American breed that is known
for their loyalty and protective nature. They are a mid-sized breed
that can grow up to 19 inches tall and weigh up to about 50 pounds.
They have a short, smooth coat that can be brindle, fawn, black,
blue, white, or red. Some of the health issues that you will need
to watch out for with this breed are hip dysplasia, hives, and insect
bites. If cared for properly and given the right nutrition this
breed can live to be about 12 years of age.
Even though this breed developed as a fighting dog they make loving pets. If you are interested in this breed and have small children then you will want to get your American Staffordshire Terrier as a puppy and raise it with your kids. This breed does not get along well with small pets like cats, ducks, and rabbits because it has a natural hunting personality.
To care for this breed you will need to brush only occasionally.
Dry shampoo is a good option with this breed as they are prone to
skin conditions. They will also need daily exercise that challenges
their muscle strength and endurance. Also, because of their natural
hunting behavior they need to be trained properly to reduce negative
confrontations with children and other animals.
