Staffordshire Bull Terrier - The origins of the Stafford are somewhat indeterminate as the many books written by informed sources will illustrate.

Certainly theory points to it being a direct descendant of the Bulldog of the 1800's. The principal ancestors being the Old English Bulldog of the nineteenth century and the Old English Terrier long since extinct.

Without doubt one has to go well back into the nineteenth century to come across the unsavoury aspects of all Bull breeds but as we have developed into something more civilised than our antecedants so have most amalgams of Bull and Terrier.
