I'm the breeder behind Alchemist Staffords located in Fair Lawn, NJ. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. My goal is to produce a great representation of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and to continue improving the line with each generation. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond.
Q. & A. with Eric
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Staffordshire Bull Terriers inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
What makes your program special?
I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. My involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
