American Bull Staffy

American Bull Staffy History

The American Bull Staffy is a cross between the Staffordshire bull terrier and the Pitbull or American Pit Bull Terrier. The owner of the Staffordbull Rescue Club of Queensland, Australia, is credited with first making the breeding. The Staffordshire bull terrier was a popular pet, fighting and baiting dog in nineteenth century Britain. In 1835, a bull-baiting ring in London was closed down by the authorities, due to public outrage at the inhumane methods used to bait the bulls. The society that owned the ring was broken up and, in 1835, a group of breeders met in the Midlands of England and formed a new society, called the “Staffordshire and Cheshire Bull and Terrier Club”. One of the early activities of the new club was to improve the quality of bulldogs and bull-and-terrier-type dogs. These new dogs were known as “Staffies”. The Staffordshire bull terrier eventually came to be recognized as a distinct and separate breed from the bulldog, and in 1936 it won recognition from the Kennel Club. The Staffordshire bull terrier was very popular during the 1950s and 1960s, but went into decline in the 1970s. Interest in the breed was revived in the 1980s, and in 1991 the Staffordshire bull terrier was recognized by the United Kennel Club. The Staffordshire bull terrier is now one of the most popular and recognizable breeds of dog in the world.
