Staffs are hugely loyal comedians when they've been raised right, and can seem quite baffled about those massive jaws-- "What do I need THESE for?" Snuggly sweeties. (Real bad dog farts though.)

But-- when you do not know how they have been raised-- or how inbred they may be-- or if they come from a peaceloving bloodline or a killkillkill one-- it's a real good idea to take 'em to a couple of good obedience trainers for an evaluation on how they seem to deal with various forms of stress. (They will respond somewhat differently to different experts.) Just to set your mind at rest.
