Why did you start breeding?
In 2023, we founded Tier One Staffordshire Bull Terriers to produce exemplary ambassadors of the breed in the most ethical and responsible manner.

Puppies are raised in our home, not in kennels. We take great care in screening and educating potential puppy owners and remain a lifelong resource to all of our puppy families.
