This guide will walk you through some of the crucial first steps of your new puppy's life, and give you tips ensure it will be long and healthy one. Staffordshire Bull Terriers are an extremely active and highly intelligent breed of dog. With their high energy level and athletic ability, they are generally best suited to active owners who can incorporate the amount of exercise required by these dogs into their daily routine. They make great family dogs and do very well around children. They are very eager to please and will do just about anything to receive praise from their owners. These people-loving dogs thrive on a high level of socialization and play. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Unless you want your new Staffie to gnaw on everything in sight, a number of durable chew toys are an absolute must for this breed. They have a strong chewing drive and cannot be trained to just not chew at all. Braided rope toys are an excellent choice and stand up well to continuous use. Do not give weak toys to Staffordshire Bull Terriers, or they will quickly have them chewed to pieces. These pieces present a significant choking hazard and should be avoided at all times. Socializing Your Staffordshire Bull Terrier Introducing your Staffie to a wide range of other people and animals is important in raising a well-rounded and social animal. When introducing your dog to new people, make sure he is in a calm state. Have him sit and wait on your command before being allowed to approach. Walk over to the guest with your dog and allow him to sniff and greet your visitor. Do not allow any jumping or overly excited behavior. If your dog is getting too riled up, remove him from the situation and have him remain in a seated or lying position until he has returned to a calm state. Repeat this process until he greets properly. If you are consistent with enforcing this behavior, you will be rewarded with a dog that friends and family will find a pleasure to be around...

Download or read book The Staffordshire Bull Terrier written by Alec Waters and published by Best of Breed. This book was released on 2015-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DOGS. With the tenacity of the Old English Bulldog and the fire of the terrier, the original Bull and Terrier was bred in Britain as a pit fighter, a job at which the dogs excelled for more than 175 years. Fortunately, humane laws put an end to such blood sports and, although some underground activity did continue for a few years, the end was inevitable. Had it not been for a group of fanciers led by Joseph Dunn, the Bull and Terrier might have gone the way of the fighting pit. These men appreciated the dogs for their other qualities and persuaded The Kennel Club (England) to recognize the breed as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, a name taken from the English county where the dogs were most popular. In 1935 the breed was accepted under this name and some 15 years later was introduced to this continent. It is a rugged, smooth-coated breed, measuring from 14 to 16 inches at the shoulder.
