It basically just refers to it "filling out", which happens to all Staffies
Most Staffordshire Bull Terriers heads ''split'' at around six months to a year.
This claim is not true. Staffies, like all dogs, do not have their heads split at any age. It's important to understand that this information is a myth and not based on any facts.
Breeds such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers and American Staffordshire Terriers have a signature ''head split'' as they become adults at about six months to a year. This distinct formation of the skull means that the bone is fused strongly together, giving these breeds very hard heads! This serves no real purpose other than for more protection for the brain and is nothing to worry about as the vast majority of purebred Staffies have it. It does not hurt the dog and can be compared to the fusing of a child's skull as it grows older.
Their heads never split.

when do staffs heads start gettin a splitt at what age about and when do they reach there full height? They don't split. From 6 months of age, or more usually from 9 months, they start to mature sexually. One of their secondary sexual characteristics is to develop lots of muscle on their heads. No splitting of any kind is involved. Full height is by 1 year of age. Full musculature in an unneutered male is by around 18 months of age. Please do neuter your staffies, they're my favourite breed but there are far, far too many of them being bred!!
I have no idea, Mia!! Maybe you should do y\the project yourself!! ~Summer~
Unfortunately not. You have to breed a female Dusknoir with a male Misdreavus and the baby will have pain split
it is often called a he-she or ladymale etc... .It could be the opposite too. for example, a female with a split personality of a boy.
