Staffordshire Bull Terriers are now the most popular of the Terrier breeds, with registrations increasing every year.
Originally the breed known as "Bull and Terrier" or the "Pit Dog", they were the offspring of violent days of dog fighting, bull baiting and cock fighting.
Since then the Staffordshire has become the a most respected dog who is affectionate and faithful.
Originally published in 1952 this book contains a great deal of history and background. Moreover since the original authors were all stalwarts of the breed, their contributions provide a link from the days of the Put Dog and the modern, respectable, Staffordshire known today.
