The Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a powerful and muscular dog, very strong for his size with a broad head and very strong jaws. The muzzle is short and the cheek muscles distinct. The stop is clearly defined. The round eyes are brown and the nose, black. The teeth should form a scissors bite.
The ears are either rose or half-pricked. The neck is short and muscular. The front legs are spaced wide apart. If they have rear dewclaws they are generally removed, front dewclaw removal is optional. The short coat is soft, sleek and close. Comes in black, blue, fawn, red, white or brindle, often with markings.
The Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier is intelligent and does everything full throttle: play, work and love. It is extremely courageous and obedient, affectionate with a sense of humor. Height: 17 – 24 inches (44-60 cm.) Weight: 55-77 pounds (25 – 35 kg.)
