Meet the breeder
I'm Tara M., the breeder behind Celtic Amstaffs located in Lawrenceville, GA. I am passionate about raising well-rounded pups who will excel in any venue with their new families. I take pride in my pups. I produce top-quality pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be showing, or as an active companion. My puppies are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. I raise all of my dogs with love in my home and care for them as members of my family.
Q. & A. with Tara
Why did you start breeding?
My love for American Staffordshire Terriers inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy American Staffordshire Terriers for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. 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?
My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and they get the best care I can possibly provide. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. 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 and guardian homes.
