Q. & A. with Courtney
Why did you start breeding?
My family bred APBT’s for more than 20 years so naturally I feel in love with the breed. I then fell in love with the American Staffordshire Terrier and wanted to be apart of the preservation of this great breed maintaining type and temperament
What makes your program special?
We breed for preservation. We have a limited amount of dogs/ litters insuring each one gets the proper care and attention they deserve.
