The
Staffordshire Bull Terrier, whilst a robust and
generally healthy breed, can suffer from harmful and
detrimental genetic diseases. Responsible breeders
with the support of the ANKC and other breeders are
attempting to selectively breed out these hereditary
conditions. When purchasing a Staffordshire Bull
Terrier from registered breeders please do not be
afraid to ask the breeder about their stock, their
breeding practices nor be afraid to ask to see
health certificates as unfortunately not all
breeders health test their breeding stock.
Below are
some conditions that can be found in our Breed,
