The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or "Staffy" for short, is a muscular pup in a compact package. Standing slightly taller than they are long with a deceptively broad frame, these muscular marvels possess a low center of gravity, granting them impressive stability and surprising agility. Their short, smooth coat is easy to maintain, while their wide head and powerful gait exude an air of strength and confidence. Despite their brawny appearance, Staffies are beloved for their playful and affectionate personalities. Descending from both "bull" and "terrier" lineages, they combine tenacity and courage with an eagerness to please.
