The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Breed Standard Стандарт на сайте ФЦИ - www.fci.be (Reproduced by kind permission of The Kennel Club; Revised: 1 January 2009) A Breed Standard is the guideline which describes the ideal characteristics, temperament and appearance of a breed and ensures that the breed is fit for function. Absolute soundness is essential. Breeders and judges should at all times be careful to avoid obvious conditions or exaggerations which would be detrimental in any way to the health, welfare or soundness of this breed. From time to time certain conditions or exaggerations may be considered to have the potential to affect dogs in some breeds adversely, and judges and breeders are requested to refer to the Kennel Club website for details of any such current issues. If a feature or quality is desirable it should only be present in the right measure. General Appearance: Smooth-coated, well balanced, of great strength for his size. Muscular, active and agile.
