THE STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER - FIGHTING DOG TO CHAMPION?

Рет қаралды 565,016

2 жыл бұрын

Could this dog be the most courageous, athletic, intelligent and feisty dog on the planet? Described as pocket rockets who adore their owners and are as trainable as border collies. These once fighting dogs still have the gumption which meant they could endure any injury and do anything for their owner, but these days this passion and spirit is put to kinder more athletic purposes. Are they still dog aggressive? Well watch and find out....
We meet double Canicross champion Rachel Wilson and her Team Dark Heroes 'Marvel and Hulk', Jo-Ann Essex and her JavaWolf staffies and also Sporting with Staffords Marijke from the Netherlands who takes part in the Stafford Olympics. We witness agility, gymnastics, hanging from trees and canicross through one of the most beautiful parts of the UK, the Lake District.

I lost my Staffie last year aged 15 years. She was the most intelligent and loving dog I have ever seen. She never needed training of any kind. It was as if she knew exactly what I wanted from the start. I miss her so much

We just lost our beautiful fawn staffie girl at almost 13 years old. The vet that had to put her to sleep was crying just as much as my wife and I, it was the absolute worst day. That gorgeous girl has left a massive hole in our lives, and although I’ve always loved bigger bullmastiff type breeds, I think we will only have staffies for the rest of our lives. I loved watching this episode, I saw so many of our girls characteristics in all these dogs, their personalities are just amazing!

@Woodsey__ 2 жыл бұрын

So sorry for your loss, I know the feeling, the hole they leave behind is just awful. I lost my Boxer who got ill really suddenly and although I love the breed, I don't think I could own another one, I don't want to replace my girl and they are not a very healthy breed anymore... but after a year we think it's time get another dog and we're leaning towards Staffies as although they are much smaller than what I'm used to, they seem to tick all of our boxes and just seem to have such beautiful characters.

After 15yrs with a staffy given to me past from home to home free of charge then I got him at 10mnth. I left him with my ex when he was 15. I'll never want another staffy. The judgment factor when out from even bad dog owners. My staffy is good as gold its your dog being aggressive but you say its my dogs fault because he's a staffy and that's what they do isn't it. No. Your dog is doing it my dog is cowering behind me. True story. I saw a big scary looking biker dude coverd in tattoos his staffy much bigger than mine. But he took one look at us and scooped up his staffy to carry it by us. His dog appeared to me just a relaxed as mine too. It was just his paranoia. Then age 14 he watched my wifey meeting new guy with my dog and my dog getting cuddles too. Not my dog now. Dropped him like a fat chic who cheats. I'll only accept a wolf type pup next if I ever do open my heart to anything else ever again lol. If I even have a heart left tbh.

Simply the best breed. Had many. As long as they are socialised from young and well exercised they aren't aggressive. However we did have a rescue one who had been mistreated. No amount of training, exercise or visits to dog Psychologists helped. He would go for anything no matter the size and not let go. I had to put my hand in his mouth to release his bite multiple times. Amazing around people but a complete menace around other dogs. He died of a heart tumour aged 6 and although we were heartbroken it was a kind of relief for him and us. I rescued an 11 year old complete black Staffordshire from a rescue 4 years ago. She was the most well trained dog I've ever come across. How she ended up on the streets ill never know. I walked her off leash all the time as she never went further than 2 metres away, whenever another dog came up to her she just stood still and looked at me as if to say "not this palaver again" and just waited until I told her to walk on or the dog lost interest. She had zero interest in other dogs. Just amazing temperament. I only had her 2 years when she died of a tumour on her spleen. Our other am staff /ridge back mix which we had from a puppy outlived them all and died at 17. She was spoilt rotten. My mrs taught her the best thing you can teach a dog which is to look somewhere else. Great when your eating and she was eyeing up your food. 😂😂😂 We lost all 3 dogs within 12 months of each other and can't bring ourselves to get another. It's still too painful years later.

They get better as they get older. Bond with nine year old Staffy is incredible now, not so much when she was a pup and adolescent. My temperament is not suited to younger dogs. She was looked after and always loved but I treasure her so much now more than I ever have and so does my family. She has improved with age exponentially. She is so well behaved on walks. She had a strong prey drive when she was a younger and was constantly incurring fines with council due to her behaviour. She never posed a risk to the family or to others dogs in the household, she has always been a loving dog but beyond our household we had to be careful. She was walked two to three hours per day and taken to a dog park for one hour per day to expend that extra energy.

The best breed ever. You can never get enough of them. These little rockets have a human soul in them. They are bored when they don't have anything to do but give them a task and they won't disappoint you. They may look small and really friendly but don't provoke them to a fight, cos they will do it with a passion to the very end. That is what those monsters take advantage of to do dog fights. If you get one for some time, you will never want any other breed. Got 3 of them and they are very aggressive towards unknown dogs but they can accept you in a day if you are introduced. When I had my son, my dog was really intrigued and won't allow anyone come near the baby. You don't know how strong they are until you get one. Mine would go on a walk for 4+ hrs under 37celcius. These ladies all know what they are into. They know their behaviours 110% 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Got a Labrastaff myself, American Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador mix. Sweetest dog ever, she loves everyone and everything. Perhaps even too much :D It's sad how bad of a rep amstaffs, staffys and other "fighting dogs" have. They're such loving dogs that sadly just tend to get abused :(

I will never forget what Cesar the famous trainer says about dogs. There is not one negative behavior that isn’t the result of an irresponsible or uneducated owner. A truly loyal human will guide his dog through the darkness

It's because alot of trashy / gangsterwannabes buy staffies and similar dogs because they think they look dangerous.

Staffs are great dogs I grew up around them as a youngster.. Very friendly dogs that love abit of sillyness & play. I'd like to see u do an episode on The English bull terrier though. 🙂

I love Staffy's and would love to get one but am concerned about their bad reputation as it's perceived by other people when I would be out and about with them. One of my friends had one and she was a sweetheart! I'm a firm believer with 'it's not the dog, but the owner'. Having said that, their behavior precedes them!

They are exactly what you make them to be. You put some time into them, some love and a bit of discipline you’ll have the best dog ever. My male isn’t very interested in having friends though. So if you’re adement in having a social dog, maybe chose another breed

Staffies like it or not are a national treasure in my eyes. Their just so dam cute anc loyal their given a bad press by vile owners who should be uthinised instead of the dog. Dogs are like any animal including us your not born evil your taught to be . Staffies are just beautiful loving caring and deserve more respect. I'm pro staffie how can you not live a dog thats always smiling and loving on you ❤ 💕 💗

Another ideal setting for them oddly enough is a gym. My last gym the owner had 2 and they were so loved he left them stay in the gym. The boy was a big whimp who's only purpose in life was to play tug with you, he was super friendly and loved a cuddle pre workout. The girl was very motherly, fussed you when you werent feeling your best, loved playing fetch but would get involved if you are playing tug with the boy. Perfect companions between weight lifting sets or coffee on the couch with them. Always looked forward to seeing them, never heard a growl they are the best dogs.

I don't trust Malinois as far as I can throw them. They're just temperamental bite monsters. A real Staffy wouldn't bite a human. And that's a big difference. Edit: I should've said that real American pit bull wouldn't bite a human. Don't know about what's been done to them in the UK

years ago we had a fox terrier and my moms friend had a gorgeous black staffy. we went on vacation for like a week and our dog stayed at her house. a vew months later we had a clutch of adorable puppies and we took one all black pup home which grew up to be an amazing brown dog with a white chest. small to medium size and a more slender musle than normal staffy's. she was so cute

Lovely video, very true right to the point of how wonderful the Staffordshire bull terrier dogs are, loving, caring and a very loyal dog. Recommend this breed for anyone who loves dogs with young families, they do need walking and family company and lots of attention like any of us.
