Thanks for clearing this up for me, so he's not just a "bull terrier" (or English bull terrier) he's a 'Staffordshire' bull terrier ( a very large one).

I've never heard of a staff that's grown that big and personally I think the vets and rescue centre are wrong and he is a cross (probably the most common dog found in rescue centres after the "status dog" boom).

I don't see why rescue centres don't re home pit bulls,they are a good breed in my eyes.
I've a close friend with a pit bull terrier (not that he'd openly admit to it) and it's been to the vets numourous times....they say he's a black mouthed cur or staff cross (I can assure you they are wrong).

Anyway, regardless of breed he sounds like a lovely hound, thanks again
