The '''Irish (Staffordshire) Bull Terrier''' is a dog breed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://molosserdogs.com/m/articles/view/2737-irish-staffordshire-bull-terrier|title=Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier|website=molosserdogs.com|access-date=2017-09-19}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dogbreedinfo.com/irishstaffordshirebullterrier.htm|title=Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier Dog Breed Information and Pictures|website=www.dogbreedinfo.com|access-date=2017-09-19}}</ref>

== Genealogy ==
It is directly descended from the longer legged original ] and is not an ] (APBT) as it is unrelated to the American Coon Hound or similar breeding. Because it closely resembles the APBT, albeit smaller with a different head and shorter muzzle, the media vilified the breed. However, with the introduction of the much larger ] (AB) in Europe, the negative publicity has partially subsided. The dog is allegedly pound for pound the strongest canine species, followed closely by the APBT and then the AB. The breed is favoured by the ] fraternity due to a lack of fresh contributions to the APBT gene pool as a result of European wide bans.<ref>https://www.animallaw.info/article/detailed-discussion-dog-fighting#id-16</ref> The majority of Kennel Clubs including the ] have shunned the breed, pushing it further underground rather than assisting with responsible breeding and ownership by the main stream public.

== Anatomy ==
The Irish Bull Terrier normally stands between 16 to 19 inches at the shoulder (sometimes higher, if the Old English Bulldog gene reoccurs), but never with the brick shaped head of the APBT. It has no colour restrictions. It weighs in the region of {{Convert|60|lb|}}, similar in size to its later counterpart the English Bull Terrier (EBT) bread by ] in the 1860s reference.
