Get the Boston Terrier Bulldog mug.The Staffordshire Bull Terrier first came into existence in or around the seventeenth century.
As bull baiting declined in popularity and dog fighting enjoyed a surge of interest, it became necessary to develop a dog which possessed a longer and more punishing head than the Bulldog and also to combine strength and agility. It is therefore believed that the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was derived from the fighting Bulldog of the day with some terrier blood introduced. This cross produced what was known as the Bull and Terrier or Pit Dog.
These dogs were renowned for their courage and tenacity and despite their ferocity in the pit were excellent companions and good with children.
Although dog fighting and other barbaric pastimes of the day were patronised by the aristocracy fighting dogs were also owned by the poorest of families.
The pit dog was a favourite with miners and steelworkers and was prevalent amongst the chainmakers of the " Black Country " where the dogs were not only fought for entertainment but provided a working man with valuable extra income when worked against badgers or as ratters.
With the introduction of the Humane Act in 1835, baiting sports and dog fighting became unlawful and a group of men in the Staffordshire area endeavoured to preserve their breed by introducing them to the show world. After much discussion the Standard was written describing the dog's physical attributes and this dog was named the Staffordshire Bull Terrier to differentiate him from the English Bull Terrier.
Over the years the Staffordshire Bull Terrier has become a successful show dog and a serious contender in the Terrier Group, where they frequently have the highest number of entries of all dogs in the Terrier Group and are occasional winners of Best in Show
More importantly the Stafford has become a popular pet retaining the attributes gained from generations of fighting dogs bred for courage, tenacity and most important: total reliability and affinity with people and in particular children.
Unfortunately it is true that chavs tend to own these dogs for image value only but please remember that the dog unfortunately can not choose its owner.
It is also believed that the instinct to bite humans was considered unfavourable by the owners of fighting dogs in the 17th and 18th century as it was required that the dogs be lifted from the ring if either animal was injured. Animals that bit their owners (even in extreme conditions) were not bred from to eliminate this charateristic.

Get the Craigslist Terrier mug.Edit- A yorkshire terrier is a breed of small, obnoxious, ridiculously loud for its size dog that was bred in Yorkshire, England, for hunting rats. They bred these small irritating dogs because the King did not want the citizens to have dogs large enough to hunt the royal deer. So the yorkie was born, a little dog that is unrivaled in being sickeningly cute, to the point where you want to cave its little face in with a blunt instrument.
Yorkies have horrible tempers; they will frequently dig their needle-sharp teeth into people for no apparent reason, such as when they sit next to one of these dogs within six feet of them on a different couch. They pick fights with dogs six times their size, which is amusing, especially when a mastiff or something rips it to pieces. Yorkies become loyal to one master, and they hate everyone else and will bite complete strangers. I've seen it happen, and it happened to me once too.
If you have a yorkie in your house do not try to talk the owner into seeing how much of a little terror the dog is. Simply take it outside, tie it up, pull out a shotgun (I would reccommend a 16 gauge or bigger for maximum effect) and blow the little creature all over the pavement, then follow up by burning the remains just to be sure.

*Yorkie owner* "Oh, Mr. Phoenix, my dog is such a cutie. See, she just gave your foot a love bite! Oh, and another! Look at the little darling, she's playing 'tug of war' with your foot! I- oh my, Mr. Phoenix, I'm sorry, we don't allow guns in this home, I OH MY GOD, you put my dog down now, don't you hold it by its neck like that, where are you going with my dog-" **BLAM**
"OH MY GOD!!!!!"
"Oh pipe down, you crusty snatch faced mother fucker, the world's a better place now."

Get the yorkshire terrier mug.A dog descended from bull and terrier crosses created as a dogfighting breed. A gamebred animal with drive and heart. Capable of becoming a loyal, loving family pet. Often fond of children. Easy to train by a firm handler. The choice breed for irresponsible owners.
This breed has been given a horrible name, mainly due to the media hype focusing on so-called 'dangerous' breeds. In reality, the APBT is one of the only breeds ever bred specifically to be extremely friendly to humans.
They do NOT have locking jaws. They do not make good guard dogs.

Petey, the dog in The Little Rascals, was an American Pit Bull Terrier.
The UKC was founded by an APBT owner, and the first breed registered with the UKC was APBT Bennett's Ring.
The APBT was a popular icon of American Pride during the 1990s, decorating war posters and representing the country's strength and dignity.

Get the American Pit Bull Terrier mug.A small white fluffy dog, apparently selectively bred to present this appearance since Roman times. They were perfectly good wolves before that. Their hair never sheds or stops growing, which means that they can become a hideous walking dreadlock in the blink of an eye. Often inbred to the extent that they need all of their rotten teeth pulled out by a vet before the age of six, it is debatable whether the Maltese is capable of learning discipline. They are given to ceaseless yapping, wissing on rugs and biting (with aforementioned rotten teeth- they have hellbreath) and are never reprimanded for such crimes by their fat, matronly, indulgent owners who need something totally dependent on them to cuddle because their beloved son has rebelled and moved out of home to become a skinhead.
Nurse: Oh, great. Another five cages full of Maltese Terriers today. Total dental removals, or all-over body shaves?
Vet: Both. Get the gas....
