By phantomreptiles , October 4, in General Dog Discussion. Ok can someone enlighten me. Are Amstaffs and English staffies, different breeds? Or just different lines? Hi, she is ok Some of you may disagree with my methods, but we are getting results. We now walk a minimum of six kms a day, she has extreme negatives and positives.
This is working for us. Sorry to hijack your thread, I think you are doing an excellent job with amazing commitment. No criticism from me :. Stand an good example of each side by side it's like comparing a Cocker Spaniel to an Itish Setter! Very different but sort of similar. The problems people have identifying them I think are because of poorly bred and mixed bred examples, but more so because a lot of people call both of them staffies without clarification.
Also a reason why people mistakenly add 'English' to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier in an attempt to clarify which they are talking about. Yes, quite different breeds in much the same way that the Bulldog and the French Bulldog are quite different breeds.
They may have shared a common ancestor in the past, but they are quite different today, like humans and gorillas for another example. Some people call what I know as a "bull terrier" - with the lovely roman nose and fondness for bananas hey Pele Don't tell the victorian govt.
They probably do have a common ancestry. I suspect most pet dogs in America originated first in the UK and then also Europe as the dogs went with the humans. Not sure if the Native Americans had pet or camp dogs before the Europeans arrived or not. Amstaffs and American Pit Bull Terriers are also different breeds, but more like siblings.
And yes, some are dual registered with a specific registry called the United Kennel Club as both breeds, like Mrs Rusty Bucket said. In the US and most other countries they and their crosses are all included under the catch all term 'Pit Bull' Yes, definitely. Curabitur vitae semper sem, eu convallis est.

Let's talk about the history and the basic differences between the Staffy and AMStaffy.
The English Staffordshire Bull Terrier was originally bred in England and very commonly used by the lower class for blood sports. After the United Kingdom banned dogfighting in the breed started to find new life as canine companions. The breed was taken to America where their lines split and a new breed was developed. The American Staffy has a longer face and muzzle compared to the English Staffy which has a shorter and flatter face.
One note before we get started because there is always some confusion around the difference between the AM Staff and Pit Bulls The American Staffordshire Bull Terrier is extremely similar to the American Pit Bull Terrier and other than in very high competition areas, many consider them to essentially be the same breed even though they are registered as two distinct breed by the Continental Kennel Club and United Kennel Club.
Both the English Staffy and the AM Staffy are compact, agile dogs with high energy levels and a tenacious spirit. Hiya and welcome from me and Moo, I think there temperament is the same. Guest Guest.
