I would also like to draw attention to this paper
[3], which says, Breeds such as Pit Bull terrier [35] and Staffordshire Bull terrier [36] are described in Breed Standards as “excellent family companions and have always been noted for their love of children” or “Highly intelligent and affectionate especially with children” despite their history as fighting dogs, their weight and strength. Their specific style of biting, “hold and tear”, can cause fatal injuries in minutes [7], and the biting combined with violent shaking exacerbates the injuries (Burns, Kusanale, & Brennan, 2011). Additionally, bull breeds are known to be aggressive to other dogs, which indirectly increases the risk of injuries to humans who may try to protect their own dogs from the attacking dog [37].

Important information includes who bred and raised the dog in question, if there were more litters from same parental material, the criteria the breeders used when selecting the breeding stock and to whom is the breeder sells the puppies.That's the authors making it clear that they regard such things as raising, training, and ownership, as distinguished from genetics, as being important in determining breed behavior. So they attribute some of it to the hold-and-tear genetics, but they also attribute some of it to human treatment. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 22:46, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
The Stafford is considered a family pet and companion dog, and is among the breeds recommended by the KC for families.[7][41]Geogene ( talk) 23:02, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
This breed came to pass in 1948 when the original SBT breed standard was changed by those in the show business via the English KC for smaller less athletic dogs. Sadly the old breed was never accepted and now allegedly classed as APBTs by the RSPCA even though they looked quite different and smaller. They are classified nowadays as the Irish Staffy as most are to be found on the emerald isle.

I can't speak to other countries but in New Zealand most mongrels/pit bull type dogs are registered as 'Staffordshire Bull Terrier' to avoid dangerous dog laws, the vast majority are not actually Staffies. So I'm wondering if this is true of other countries: if Staffordshire Bull Terrier is used to register banned/restricted dogs to get around the law. Traumnovelle ( talk) 22:02, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
