definitely Not a staffy,I'm guessing from the pic that's 1900's or so and the dog could be anyone of several breeds that dont exist anymore.However I say "puggish" aswell,not a very good example by todays standard but has many of the pug's attributes. Check out Mollosorworld.com lots of extinct breeds of the mastif,bulldog types.

I was just very hopeful... now that I have been looking at your dog and Sarah's recently it is galreingly obvious that that dog is definately anything but.
My living room is decorated with antique pictures of people with pits and other bullys...

Inside me is a thin woman trying to get out. I usually shut the bitch up with a martini.
