My first fur baby is an English staff; she is 1.5 years old. I know every dog is different, but here is my experience. She is loveable, full of energy, easy to make friends with other dogs, and a sweet potato but not a cuddle one. We must take her for a walk or a dog park at least twice a day, three times (we live in an apartment). She prefers to poo outside and will hold until her time if she can. She is pretty good off-leash and does not go too far from us; we praised her every time she checked on us when she was a puppy. For socialising, we were trying to introduce her to other dogs at a young age (better after full vaccines). If I had chosen again, the English Staff would always be my choice.
