Is a Staffy a good family dog?

Staffies make great family dogs. Don’t be fooled by their tough exterior. Staffordshire Bull Terriers are gentle, docile, and sweet-natured dogs, and all it takes for them to break into their signature goofy grin is a few scratches behind the ears and the promise of a long walk. With enough exercise and mental stimulation, these dogs make well-behaved, loyal companions.
