Actually, in this area `Irish Staffy` is used as a euphemism for a pitbull.

There is a very good reason for the isbt looking like a pitbull, It's the closest to the original of the staffordshire bull terrier which was taken over to America sometime in the 1800's and they liked the breed so much that they bred their own dogs from it and called them the "pitbull"! The american staffy or "Amstaff" is just a show version of this dog so that is why they are so similar!!
So, all you K.C brown nosers, the dogs that you call a "true breed" staffordshire bull terrier is just a K.C mutation caused by generations of inbreeding! SBT has been bred and was recognised as a fighting dog since the mid 1800's. The kennel club should be shot they think that it's a cool normal thing to inbreed their dogs to make them so short they can't walk and so flabby they can't breath!! This is cruelty if ever I saw it and the ISBT is a far more ressiliant dog!! I hope I am not the only person who has had problems with K.C staffy owners accusing them of thier isbt being a pitbull!!! your all sad, GET A BRAIN AND PROPERLY RESEARCH THE BREED!!!!!

this is what I thought, it was when some one called them an ancient breed it made me curious...
EBT came first, 1860's...
ancient means to me 1000's of years of breeding like the shar pei.

I have heard of pit bulls being referred to as 'Irish Staffs', too. They probably could be called a 'pit bull type' according to the law. (Not trying to upset anyone, and I'm all against BSL, but I would be worried sick if I had one of those!)

Just wanted to say what a beautiful dog you have! How tall is he? My foster dog is a staffy and is quite tall - I've never seen another tall one before.

The Irish Staffy name became connected with the pitbull because a lot of them were illegally smuggled in to England through Ireland.

I believe there is a type of Staffordshire called an Irish Staff, but it doesn't always mean it is a pit bull.

Anyway, that gorgeous blue lad is no way a pit!!!!!
