Redbone Coonhound versus Staffordshire Bull Terrier: Overview
A very important difference between the Redbone Coonhound and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Redbone Coonhound is a medium-sized dog while the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Redbone Coonhound belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell. Dogs that belong to the Hound Group have strong prey drives and often will stop at nothing to catch what they are pursuing.
On the other hand, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier belongs to the Terrier Dogs group. Terrier Dogs were originally bred to go underground to hunt rodents and other small wild animals (vermin). Terriers come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, but all terriers are energetic, highly intelligent, and territorial. Terries also have the tendency to escape. They require a securely fenced yard.
