It originated in the city of Birmingham and in the Black Country of Staffordshire, it is the direct descendent of the Bull and terrier which was itself bred from cross-breeding the Old English Bulldog and the Old English Terrier. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier was recognised as a breed by the Kennel Club in 1935. Although the roots of the breed are associated with fighting and the baiting of larger animals, their reputation as a vicious and aggressive breed preceded them. Nowadays, the animals no longer display this kind of aggression. As a rule, they are gentle, affectionate dogs who adore people. ... In fact, their well-documented love of children once earned them the nickname “nanny dog”. Of course, every dog is different and, in the wrong hands or with a bad experience, any breed can become troubled or aggressive. Staffys are generally a good option for first-time dog owners. Despite their strength and confidence, Staffordshire bull terriers are generally considered to be a good breed to pick for the first-time dog owner, as they are versatile and not significantly demanding in any one particular area.
