Staffie Breeder Interview

One of my all time favorite breeds is the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Not only are they incredibly sweet, but they are one of the most compact and muscular dogs around. When I look at a Staffie, I say to myself “Now that is one fine specimen of a dog.”
The Dog Guide was fortunate enough to get an interview with a long time Staffordshire Bull Terrier expert. We hope you enjoy it.
Here it is: Interview with Staffie Breeder Kristina Estlund

I love the “bully” breeds… this was a great article. Staffies and other similar breeds get a lot of bad press, and so unfairly. Thanks for setting the record straight!

Sean, Satffies are not guard dogs and weren’t made to be such. If you want a good guard dog that is family friendly, get an Akita or German Shephard and make sure it is properly trained and socialized. It will protect your family to its death if it has to. Staffies can certainly do a lot of damage to an intruder, but you don’t want that dog trained to do that. Akitas know the difference, and require little enticement to protect its loved ones, yet remain loyal, devoted and gentle family members who are very leary of strangers. Staffies love everybody, and should be allowed to maintain that wonderful characteristic.
