Appreance information about Staffordshire Bull Terrier :-
The
Staffordshire Bull Terrier (informally: Staffie, Stafford, Staffy or Staff) is
a medium-sized, short-coated breed of dog. It is an English dog, the fifth most
popular breed, and related to the bull terrier. Descended from dog-fighting
ancestors, it is muscular and loyal.
The
Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a medium-sized, stocky, and very muscular dog,
with a similar appearance to the much larger American Staffordshire terrier and
American pit bull terrier. It has a broad head (male considerably more so than
female), defined occipital muscles, a relatively short foreface, dark round
eyes and a wide mouth with a clean scissor-like bite (the top incisors slightly
overlap the bottom incisors). The ears are small. The cheek muscles are very
pronounced. The lips show no looseness. From above, the head loosely resembles
a triangle. The head tapers down to a strong well-muscled neck and shoulders
placed on squarely spaced forelimbs. They are tucked up in their loins and the
last 1-2 ribs of the ribcage are usually visible. The tail resembles an old
fashioned pump handle. The hind quarters are well-muscled and are what give the
Stafford drive when baiting. They are coloured brindle, black, red, fawn, blue,
white, or any blending of these colors with white. White with any other colour
broken up over the body is known as pied. Liver-colored, black and tan dogs can
occur but are rare. The coat is smooth and clings tightly to the body giving the
dog a streamlined appearance. The dogs stand 36 to 41 cm (14 to 16 in) at the
withers and weigh 13 to 17 kg (29 to 37 lb) for males; females are 11 to 15.4
kg (24 to 34 lb).
