Meet Ada
Staffordshire Bull Terrier, 10 years old
She came from Amiccii .
My favourite thing about Ada is...
She is so loyal, so loving too. Also she alerted me to an oncoming heart attack.
The biggest challenge with Ada is...
Keeping up with her on walks! For 10 years old she's like a puppy!
The most surprising thing about owning a Staffordshire Bull Terrier is...
Loyalty to her family.
What I wish I’d known about Staffordshire Bull Terriers is...
She loves being a lapdog. No matter how many on the sofa, she wants to be on all their laps. I'm told Staffies are known for this.

Developed originally by James Hinks of Birmingham, this breed was appearing at dog shows as early as 1862. But it wasn’t until the 1930s when it was recognised as being a separate breed from the Bull Terrier, and had a name change to distinguish the two, adding the county name where it had become so popular.
