Staffie Breeder Interview

staffordshire bull terrier

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.

    i have a staffie, his name is ROCKY it was the the best decision i have ever made in my life to adopt him, he is very loyal to me, he has never shown any viviousness towards anyone, he plays with all the kids in my neighborhood, and he is also the center of attention everywhere we go, people just love to come up to me & ask about him, and i tell them the truth, you will never regret owning this breed of dog, trust me.

  13. Torr3 Says:

    I have one and she is the best pet i ever have had. This is the most adorable non aggressive dog i have ever been around. Loves kids and anyone else and loves to sleep! Sbt stands for silent but deadly (looking) my dog rarely barks.

    I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. We recently adopted a blue staffordshire terrier. We have a lab and a pit mix. She is about one and a half and she is like a comment said a bomb ready to fire. We rescued her in the hopes that she would have a better life. She had already had a litter of pups and was found roaming the streets. She has the most amazing attitude and just wants to be loved. We wouldn’t change her attitude for anything. She is getting along well with our other dogs. If anyone has any advice please let us know. We are crate training her as we did with our others. I know this sounds funny but does anyone else experience the whole “gotta find the perfect pooping spot”

    You should know your photo of this staffy is being used to promote breed specific legislation AGAINST our beloved bully breeds! See page 36 of this document: http://ca-contracostacounty.civicplus.com/DocumentView.aspx?DID=4791. I can connect you with gal who wants to fight this -
