About the American Staffordshire Terrier

The American Staffordshire Terrier, often called the AmStaff, is a muscular, confident, and deeply loyal breed with a history that stretches back to 19th-century England. Originally developed from crosses between bulldogs and terriers, the breed’s ancestors were brought to the United States in the late 1800s, where American breeders developed a larger, heavier dog than its English counterpart.
