Dog Breeds - American Staffordshire Terrier |
 |
The American Staffordshire Terrier has been known by several different names throughout time. They are also known as American Pit Bull Terrier, Pit Bull Terrier, Pit Dog, and Yankee Terrier. The American Staffordshire Terrier originated in England and is a mix of a Bulldog and a Terrier. Their instincts make them great hunters, and in the past they were often used as bear and wild pig hunters. They were most commonly used as farm dogs with guardian and stock dog duties. With their muscular, stocky build the American Staffordshire Terrier is very athletic and presently competes in many dog sports such as weight pulling, agility and obedience competitions. They are also strong climbers and jumpers and must be kept in a secure back yard if left alone outdoors. Due to high dominance, this breed prefers to be the only dog in the house and should be watched carefully around other pets because they have strong prey instincts. They require a lot of attention and if they don’t receive enough and are left unattended they may become destructive. They are trainable but require time firm but patient training from their master.

Thank you so much for compensating the cost of Spooky’s surgery so fast! I never thought I would have to use the insurance I took out for Spooky, but felt it was a good idea to have it. After his accident, the hospital in my town, which is full of caring, happy people, attended to Spooky’s needs and the needs of other animals 24 hours a day. They let me visit him as many times as I wanted. Likewise, I was equally impressed with Pethealth’s services. I have a QuickCare policy and would have been glad to receive any amount to help with the medical expenses - and $2,000 was more than enough. Spooky is back in good health now and we love him very much. Thanks for your financial assistance Pethealth! Claim Submitted: $2,441.48 Claim Paid: $2,000.00 |
