The American Staffordshire is a little bit different then the staffordshire bull terrier. The American gets a little bit bigger in hieght and weight. The staffy stays pretty small so it just depends on what you want. They are both part of the bull dog breed and share the same temperments of American Bull dogs, and Pit Bulls. So you will get a great dog with lots of drive to play ball and be active, but they are very protective of their space and do not like other dogs. So if you get one take him/her around lots of nice dogs as a pup so you don't have a problem. But like the guy posted earlier, if you have one bad miss hap, you will have a dog aggressive dog that you have to keep an eye on. Same can happen with the dog that you have right now. If he/she sees a new pup come into the family he may want to show he/ she is the dominate one so he will dominate the little pup which will make the pup either a nervous dog as he gets older or he/she will not like other dogs. So just keep your eye on them and try to keep them seperated until the pup gets a little older. But really they are awesome dogs to have, just have to use your head when you are raising them so you don't have any troubles later on in their lifes.
