Best Answer

Staffordshire Bull Terriers are a very robust and healthy breed which tend not to inherit any breed specific health problems. They do, however, often become overweight due to their love of food and lack of exercise - this problem can easily be solved by longer walks and more exercise. Although pedigree Kennel Club registered Staffords can have some health issues (none breed specific), generally this is a very healthy breed.
