Meet the breeder
I'm Christine M., the breeder behind Ironheart American Staffordshire Terriers located in Bastrop County, TX. It is an honor to preserve the old Rolls/X-Pert lines, while at the same time creating companions for families. Ironheart Amstafs is where amazing temperaments, intelligence, athleticism and beauty meet!
Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
Our Amstaf's are from champion stock based on old Rolls/X-Pert lines - which are behind the original Fraja dogs, Sindelar dogs and Mari-Don dogs. The Rolls/X-Pert lines are hard to find, but we have dedicated ourselves to preserving their many fine traits. These lines appealed to us because the dogs exhibit the attributes that were so important to the breed when it was first registered with AKC.What makes your program special?
Because we have dedicated ourselves to certain lines, we are able to offer puppies that are well line-bred and true to the standard. We have been fortunate to find dogs that go back to the lines we want to reproduce. Anyone who gets an Ironheart dog becomes a treasured part of our family.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
