A brief presentation of the English Bully Staffy Bull Terrier |
| An English Bully Staffy Bull Terrier is a combination of a purebred English Bulldog and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. An unfailing companion, the English Bully Staffy Bull Terrier can have a strong temperament and will need an owner who will play a leading role. A robust, stout dog, it will need plenty of exercise. However, he loves attention and will be happy to go wherever you go. |
History of the English Bully Staffy Bull Terrier |
| The name English Bully Staffy Bull Terrier is a combination of the names of the dog's parent breeds, the English Bulldog and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, also known as the Pit Bull Terrier. The English Bully Staffy Bull Terrier has probably been bred for decades, given the close relationship and geographical proximity of its parent breeds. However, it is not widely recognized today and regulated or recognized by the AKC. |
A little of the English Bulldog |
||
| The origin of the Bulldog is widely debated, although this loyal breed has been a member of the American Kennel Club since 1886. It is a member of the Non Sporting group, which is a little ironic given that it was originally bred for sport (cruel bull riding and dog fighting practices). Now the official mascot of Yale University, along with many other schools, this endearing dog is currently the 4th most popular dog breed according to the American Kennel Club's list. | ||

A little of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier |
||
| The Staffordshire Bull Terrier became popular in the early 1800s when it was developed in the English Staffordshire region for dog fighting. It was originally called the "Bull and Terrier" and was probably an Old English Bulldog and Terrier mix. Eventually, dogfighting was banned and the breed migrated to the USA, where breeders sought to increase the weight and size of the dog's head. This variety became known as the Pit Bull Terrier and was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1936. In 1972, it was renamed the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, although the Pit Bull moniker has stuck with the breed. | ||
