The book you are holding right now is by no means a complete book about the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. If we had collected all the information about the breed, its history and development, feeding, training, health, and whatever else there is to know, this book would have consisted of at least three hundred pages.
What we have done, however, is to bring together all the basic information that you as a (future) owner of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier need to know in order to handle your pet responsibly. Unfortunately, there are still people who buy a pet without thinking through what they are about to get into.
This book generally deals with the history of the breed, the breed standard and the advantages and disadvantages of buying a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. It also contains essential information about feeding your dog and about the very first steps in training it. Reproduction, day-to-day care, and health and illnesses are also topics.
After having read this book, you can make a carefully considered decision to buy a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and to keep it as a pet in a responsible’e manner. We advise you, however, not to rely on this book only. A well-reared and trained dog is more than just a dog. Invest therefore in a puppy training course or an obedience course. There are also plenty of excellent books that deal with certain aspects for which we do not have the space in this small book.
