Welcome to the board, Jimbo! I would do a search using the search button at the top of the site to find the topics that interest you. Most of them have been covered already.

thanks for the welcome. i tried searching but couldn't find anything. the reason i was asking is because my sister just got a pit bull puppy and the father was big(probaly around 70 pounds and as tall a golden retriever) the female was smaller. people have been telling her that she cant have a pure pit bull because they are smaller, which is what i always thought too.

Welcome to the board!! This is just one discussion I found using keyword "staffordshire." There are many other threads about the comparison of the two.

Welcome to the board! The search is a little tricky, but keep trying! You do get used to it, I promise! After a while that huge list isn't quite so overwhelming!
