    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!
