Hi and welcome

it's very unlikey you have an american staffy you just got a staffy x

also i wouldn't go around saying you have american staffy becasue they are a ban dog in the uk.

also there no breed call english staffy it's just a staffy.

american staffy are banned in the uk i really wouldn't go around saying hes american staffy x. I think the person you bought him off lied to you.

it's very unlikey you had a american staffy, you may of breed your staffy with a type.

What is a ‘type’ of banned dog?



Whether your dog is a banned type depends on what it looks like, rather than its breed or name

A dog type is not a breed. Whether your dog is a banned type depends on what it looks like, rather than its breed or name.

If your dog matches many of the characteristics of a Pit Bull Terrier, it may be a banned type. This is because dogs with these characteristics are more likely than other dogs to cause severe harm if they attack.


It won’t matter what type or breed a dog’s parents were. (Cross-bred and mongrel dogs can have the characteristics of a Pit Bull Terrier.)


Pit Bull type dogs

Pit Bull types may include the following dog breeds:
•American Staffordshire Terriers
•Irish Staffordshire Terriers
•Irish Blue or Red Nose

Some kinds of American Bulldogs have been found to be Pit Bull types.

you may of been told he was american staffy but it's very unlikey he is why would you want to cross breed for?

The maximum penalty for illegal possession of a banned dog is a fine of £5,000 and/or six months' imprisonment.
