The American Staffordshire Terrier, as the American Pitt
Bull Terrier, is placed in the Mastiff group of most Kennel Clubs in
the USA. The AmStaff is know as a working dog and is famous for their
strength and their ability to pull tremendous weight. Their body, stocky
- like a body builder - weight can range anywhere from 37 to 90 pounds.
Now, we all know the bad rap that AmStaffs have received over the years
- a lot of people feel that they are evil, ferocious dogs -- not true!!
AmStaffs, as well as Pitts are fearless, loyal and willing to please.
They are very people-friendly, which it is wise not to pen up your
AmStaff outside for people to see; because of their good nature and their
people-friendly
ways they are often stolen.
Why do the majority of the people think that they are mean - because
they hear about the 'dog fights'. These beautiful dogs are taught to
be that way. They are starved into submission and do what they have to
do to survive.
I was introduced to my first AmStaff in 2003, when my Misha - whom had
been with me for 15 years - crossed over. Carter's Face (named for the
last name of his breeder and the look on his face) is from Michigan,
he now weighs some 70 pounds, runs like the wind and was the best thing
that could have come into my life at that time.
Then, after a long search
- we found Rosie (who's legal name is Bost's E - but Rosie sounds much
better) She is a true Southern Belle
and is the four legged love for Face - you know - so he could 'sew
his wild oats'. No problem there!
