I LIKE STAFFORDS BECAUSE...

Of medium size, they are well muscled & powerful, but agile and alert

They're renowned for their indomitable courage, intelligence and tenacity

With friends and children, in particular, they're yery friendly and affectionate

They make fine home companions and protectors for the family

They're confident, self-possessed who deserve a firm commitment from a dedicated owner

They're not necessarily one-man dogs - they can be loyal and devoted to anyone who really loves and cares for them~ Their coats are smooth - they don't become matted or unkempt

They can exercise themselves or take long walks with you

They are smart and responsive to discipline and obedience training

They do not shed on furniture or carpets if they are given a regular brushing down to remove dead hair

They make splendid pets

Size-wise, they are equally suited to be country or city dogs

They don't show dirt and have no nasty doggy odour

They can live in harmony with other pets if they grow up together

They have very few genetic or hereditary problems and generally have a long life span

They thrive on generous human contact and are extremely sociable
