Goldendoodle versus Staffordshire Bull Terrier: Overview
A very important difference between the Goldendoodle and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Goldendoodle is a large-sized dog while the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Goldendoodle belongs to the Hybrid Dogs group. Hybrid Dogs are the offspring of 2 or more known, but different, dog breeds.

When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
