IMO The staffords are alot more easygoing then the apbt. But it's basicly the same breed. Take a look at the Colby bloodline, very similiar to the staffords. In the end they are all gamedogs.
LOL, that sounds like my dogs -- although I am not sure it is due to heavy inbreeding, but merely to selection.

Ch Hammer was born 30 years ago, and was a 32-34 lb male ... and now, nearly 3 decades later of line- and inbreeding, my males are from 30-36 lb generally.

Coca Cola was born 20 years ago, and was a 26 lb bitch ... and nor, over 2 decades later of line- and inbreeding, my Coki dogs are from 25-32 lb generally.

Small dogs tend to be faster and more athletic, pound-for-pound, so they're usually the ones selected (though not always).
