Staffordshire Bull Terrier Puppies: Why The Might Just Be The Dog For You

Staffordshire Bull Terrier Puppies are wonderful animals, yet they are much maligned in different parts of the world.
One of the reasons for this is that many people are not aware of the ancestry of these dogs. Also how over the years unscrupulous owners and breeders have abused their good nature.
The Staffy as it is affectionately known is very much a people person animal. Never being happier than when they are surrounded by humans lavishing affection on them. They enjoy lots of human contact and become very attached to their owners.

Though they are a medium sized dog, with basic training they can be handled by most people. Don’t let their strength and broad shoulders put you off. They are shorthaired and moulting does happen though it is not as much as with other dogs. The short coat has a couple of disadvantages in that the Staffy does not fare well in extreme cold or extreme heat.

They do not need to be pampered and bathed that often either. Of course you can give them a bath and yet the fur is such that a good rub down can suffice.

Like all dogs you need to make sure they keep their teeth clean and there are many products on the market to help this.
Finally, like all dogs Staffordshire bull terrier puppies need exercise. This can be built up gradually over the first few months. The average Staffordshire bull terrier when fully grown will need a minimum of 45 minutes a day. Though they will always like more.
