This is my poll for the weekly article in the magazine (journalism committee). Every week I will post a poll asking you how many stars out of five you’d rate a certain breed of dog and I encourage you all to write why in the comments!
This week it’s the Staffordshire bull terrier which was requested by Lennon. Even if you’ve never owned one please feel free to give your thoughts based on what you’ve heard, know or ones you’ve met.

I love their heads and they are so sweet. This breed is often mixed up with apbt (American Pitbull terriers) so they get mistaken as “pit bulls” or especially when crossbred.
I adore staffys! I have a big soft spot for them as people assume they are all nasty and aggressive which is very untrue. They are very sweet and loving. Like most terriers they are very smart and head strong so do need lots of training. They make very good working/ratting dogs so not very good if you have small furrys around unless they are fully secured away. It’s quite a common thing for them to not be keen on having their feet touched so nail trimming can be difficult. Coat care is very easy as it is very short. Often prone to being quite food obsessed. In UK most mutts have some staffy breed in them somewhere.
I personally love these dogs. They really are great dogs and greatly overlooked due to their muscular appearance. Many wouldn't be able to tell them apart from the commonly feared pitbull; therefore, they are unfortunately frowned upon by people who fear dogs like that. Without proper training if they jump or pull, they can possibly knock you over. So, they do need to be properly trained; luckily they are not usually very stubborn dogs. They are quite loyal and make great family dogs! They do need to be socialized from an early age, if this is done they should tolerate other dogs. Overall, I love these dogs and want to give them 5 stars, but due to the harm they can unintentionally do to you if not properly trained I give them 4 stars.
