Q. & A. with Robert
Why did you start breeding?
We want to do our part to better the breed. Our breeding program focuses on maintaining the unique characteristics specific to American Staffordshire Terriers while striving to produce puppies of superior health, structure, temperament, and conformation. Prospective puppy families are screened closely. We commit to always being a resource and guide for all those who create a forever home for our pups!
What makes your program special?
We take responsible breeding very seriously. As breeders, we are stewards of the future of the American Staffordshire Terrier, so we are careful to always maintain ethical breeding practices. This includes proper health testing, intentional breeding for specific traits, and raising our puppies with proper socialization. From researching breeding pairs, conducting health testing, to purposefully raising each pup, our goal is to help preserve this incredible breed.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
