Meet Winston
Staffordshire Bull Terrier, 4 years old
My favourite thing about Winston is...
He's playful and affectionate. He likes to snuggle on the couch and always wants to play with his kong.
The biggest challenge with Winston is...
He tends to pull sometimes when on walks, and he tries to eat anything edible, including his own faeces (or other dogs)!
The most surprising thing about owning a Staffordshire Bull Terrier is...
They are so friendly and nothing like their reputation.
What I wish I’d known about Staffordshire Bull Terriers is...
They can have skin allergies (white ones)!
Did you know?
Developed originally by James Hinks of Birmingham, this breed was appearing at dog shows as early as 1862. But it wasn’t until the 1930s when it was recognised as being a separate breed from the Bull Terrier, and had a name change to distinguish the two, adding the county name where it had become so popular.
