Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier

There is no such dog breed as the "Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier". The American, UK and Irish Kennel Clubs do not acknowledge any such breed existing, nor is such a breed listed on any of their websites. Furthermore, upon contacting the American, UK or Irish Kennel Clubs and enquiring into the "Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier" you will be told that the term is a pseudonym for Pitbull terriers. Pitbulls are not illegal in the South of Ireland, so to get around the Dangerous Dogs Act in the UK (which includes Northern Ireland) and import the dogs, unscrupulous breeders will list the dog as an "Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier".
