The American Staffordshire Terrier has, like its brother the Pit Bull,
often been regarded as vicious and dangerous. If properly raised, this is far from the truth. They are loyal, trustworthy
and as the Staff a great companion for your kids. He is eager to please you and forever devoted, always ready and willing to defend and
protect his human family. Many owners will tell you that this is the perfect dog, and if you know the breed well, even if
you are not an owner, it would be easy to agree on that statement.
