The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is outwardly serious, but sociable at heart, a healthy man who adores everything related to physical activity. He is a little cocky, moderately stubborn, and sometimes willingly plays the alpha male, but all these are such trifles compared to the breed's devotion to the owner and family. Almost all Staffordshire Bull Terriers have great intellectual potential, which must be developed in a timely manner in order to raise a smart and understanding friend.
