We adopted Agent Chewy Bones Jones, aka 00Dog almost three years ago.
We had never heard of her breed before we got her.
She is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, aka Nanny Dog.
You can read more about this breed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staffordshire_Bull_Terrier
We would describe her as:
What we didn't know is that the most decorated War Dog of World War I was a staffy just like she is.
Sergeant Stubby was the only dog to be promoted to Sergeant through combat.
Lucky for this girl, the only battles she faces are fighting the legos for attention.

He was snuck onboard a ship and the Captain let Sergeant Stubby stay when the dog saluted him!
He saved many lives, participated in 17 battles and after the war became a mascot for the Georgetown Hoyas!
Sergeant Stubby lives on. His stuffed body is in the Smithsonian. Anyone ever seen him there?
Enjoyed reading about Chewy Bones Jones and Sergeant Stubby! Long before Stubby, some of the most faithful and famous dogs of the American Civil War were bully breeds too, like Dog Jack, Harvey of the 104th Ohio Volunteer Infantry and the most famous of all, Sallie Ann Jarrett of the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, whose statue is at Gettysburg.
