The American Staffordshire Terrier (Am Staff) is extremely strong for its size. Agile, very muscular and stocky with a broad, powerful head.
 
History: Until the early 19th century, the Bulldog used for bullbaiting in England was more active and longer-legged than the breed as we know it today. It is thought that the cross of this older Bulldog and a game terrier breed created the Staffordshire Terrier. Originally called the Bull-and-Terrier Dog, Half and Half or Pit Dog, it became known as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier in England.  
 
Head:Medium length, deep through, broad skull, very pronounced cheek muscles, and ears are set high. 
 Colors: Any color, solid, parti, or patched.
Weight: 55 to 67 Pounds

It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack. When we humans live with dogs, we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates under a single leader. Lines are clearly defined. You and all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog. That is the only way your relationship can be a success.

Bulli Ray Now Selling SprayShield Animal Deterrent Citronella Spray 

Mitzi Robinson's comments on SprayShield; the main reason sprays work on some dogs is because of the spray action. The dog is scared off by the spray before the smell. The smell is secondary. When this product first came out they sent it to me for testing back in 1999. I liked it because it was just as effective as pepper spray on dogs but safe for the employee. I hated thinking about an employee spraying an attacking dog and worrying that the employee would be sprayed also and now suffering the effects of pepper spray or Halt. Pepper spray is an inflammatory. It causes immediate closing of the eyes, difficulty breathing, runny nose, and coughing. The duration of its effects depends on the strength of the spray but the average full effect lasts around thirty to forty-five minutes, with diminished effects lasting for hours. This and stronger sprays like Wasp or Bee sprays can cause extensive injuries to a child when the child graps hold of their pet after being sprayed. This will not happen with SprayShield. A can of SprayShield is great to have within reach in shelters, training classes, kennels, or veterinarian offices. It also easily fits into the pockets of meter readers, field employees, joggers, dog walkers and family members who enjoy taking strolls around the neighborhood.

The U.S. Postal Service^� continues its tradition of calling attention to one of the nation's most commonly reported public health problems: dog attacks and bites. From nips and bites to actual attacks, violent dog behavior continues to pose a serious threat to our employees.
