The origins of this breed [the Staffordshire Bull Terrier] are far from illustrious. It was developed primarily as a fighting dog in the early nineteenth century from terriers crossed with Bulldogs ...
The American Staffordshire Terrier descended from a bull and terrier strain bred in England, where it was called the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. As the breed became established in America, it evolved into a larger, heavier type of dog
The [Staffordshire Bull Terrier] breed originated in the nineteenth century ... It was developed from a combination of old-style Bulldogs used for bull-baiting and agile, game, smooth-coated terriers to produce a breed with bulldog tenacity and terrier nimbleness. Known as the Bull and Terrier, Half and Half, or Bulldog Terrier, the breed was used for pit sports and dog fighting
originally called the Bull-and-Terrier Dog, Half and Half, and at times Pit Dog or Pit Bullterrier. Later, it assumed the name in England of Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
It [the Staffordshire Bull Terrier] was called by names such as "Bulldog Terrier" and "Bull and Terrier"... James Hinks, in about 1860, crossed the Old Pit Bull Terrier, now known as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and produced the all-white English Bull Terrier... Bull-and-Terrier types were believed to have arrived in North America in the mid-1880s. Here they developed along different lines with a heavier, taller dog being the result. Today's American Staffordshire Terrier represents that breeding.
The Bull-and-Terrier, the Patched Fighting Terrier, the Staffordshire Pit-dog, and the Brindle Bull are a few of the Stafford’s historical aliases.
After the Staffordshire Bull arrived in North America in the 1880s, breeders developed a taller, heavier offshoot, the American Staffordshire Terrier
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is the "original Bull Terrier", simply a renamed version of the "Bull and Terrier".
The result of the decision to breed more athletic dogs for fighting purposes was the emergence of the so-called 'Bull and Terrier', sometimes referred to as the 'Pit dog'. This is of prime importance in the story of the development of our breed as 150 years later this dog would be recognised by the Kennel Club as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier!
