The American Staffordshire Terrier, known to their fans as AmStaffs, are smart, confident, good-natured companions. Their courage is proverbial. A responsibly bred, well-socialized AmStaff is a loyal, trustworthy friend to the end.

AmStaffs are stocky, muscular bull-type terriers standing 17 to 19 inches at the shoulder. The head is broad, the jaws well defined, the cheekbones pronounced, and the dark, round eyes are set wide apart. AmStaff movement is agile and graceful, with a springy gait that advertises the breed’s innate confidence. The stiff, glossy coat comes in many colours and patterns.
AmStaffers describe their dogs as keenly aware of their surroundings, game for anything, and loveable “personality dogs” around the house. AmStaffs like mental and physical challenges. Their training requirements are quite specific and their activity needs will depend on entirely on their drive. Their stubborn natures can be challenging so these dogs are best suited to experienced owners.
