text: Developed in the British Isles by crossing the Old English Bulldog and a terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was originally bred for bull and bear-baiting and, once these blood sports were outlawed in the early 1800s, the dogs were used in the equally illegal, but easier to conceal, “sport” of dog fighting.
