History
Prior to the nineteenth century, blood sports such as bull baits, bear baits, and cockfights were common. In the livestock market, dogs are placed on the bulls, purportedly to tender meat but actually to provide entertainment for the crowd. Blood sports with bears and other animals are arranged as entertainment.
The early types of bulls and terriers were bred for a characteristic known as gameness, by pitting a dog against a bear or a bull; testing the strength and skills of dogs. Landrace dogs crossed with bulldogs provide a stock of ancestral foundations for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The Bloodsports were officially eliminated in 1835 when the British began introducing animal welfare legislation. Dog fight involves gambling; the dog is released into the pit, and the last dog still fighting or surviving is recognized as the winner. Dog fighting contests are cheaper to organize and are easier to hide from the law.
The modern breed is one that has a suitable temperament as a companion dog. This is a dog worthy to be shown and accepted by The Kennel Club as Staffordshire Bull Terrier on May 25, 1935. Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club staff was formed in June 1935. It is not uncommon to breed recognized without an existing club first, and even more so usual for no breed standard in place. A standard was not made until June 1935 at Old Cross Guns, a Black Country pub in Cradley Heath where 30 Stafford fans gathered and composed the standard and chose the club's first secretary, Joseph Dunn, a well-known figure connected to this breed..
The challenge certificate was awarded to the breed in 1938, and the first champion was Ch. Gentleman Jim (raised by Joseph Dunn) and Ch. Lady Eve (owned by Joseph Dunn), both took the title in 1939. This breed was recognized in the US by the American Kennel Club in 1975.
