The American Staffordshire Terrier, as the American Pitt Bull Terrier, is placed in the Mastiff group of most Kennel Clubs in the USA. The AmStaff is know as a working dog and is famous for their strength and their ability to pull tremendous weight. Their body, stocky - like a body builder - weight can range anywhere from 37 to 90 pounds.

Now, we all know the bad rap that AmStaffs have received over the years - a lot of people feel that they are evil, ferocious dogs -- not true!! AmStaffs, as well as Pitts are fearless, loyal and willing to please. They are very people-friendly, which it is wise not to pen up your AmStaff outside for people to see; because of their good nature and their people-friendly ways they are often stolen.

Why do the majority of the people think that they are mean - because they hear about the 'dog fights'. These beautiful dogs are taught to be that way. They are starved into submission and do what they have to do to survive.

I was introduced to my first AmStaff in 2003, when my Misha - whom had been with me for 15 years - crossed over. Carter's Face (named for the last name of his breeder and the look on his face) is from Michigan, he now weighs some 70 pounds, runs like the wind and was the best thing that could have come into my life at that time.

Then, after a long search - we found Rosie (who's legal name is Bost's E - but Rosie sounds much better) She is a true Southern Belle and is the four legged love for Face - you know - so he could 'sew his wild oats'. No problem there!
