The public have officially named Staffordshire Bull Terriers as the UK’s favourite dog breed.

Online dog community TeamDogs teamed up with pet food company Pooch and Mutt to find the country’s best-loved breed – inviting thousands to vote for the winner.

The competition started three weeks ago on 26 July, with 47 breeds to choose from.

TeamDogs then also added five other breeds into the mix that it felt deserved a place in the competition – Doberman, Samoyed, Great Dane, Bedlington Terrier, and Akita.

But none could compete with the love shown for Staffies.
