Happy Amstaff Day!

On this day, June 10th, in 1936, the American Kennel Club recognized the American Staffordshire Terrier, or Amstaff for short. Although the distant ancestors of the Amstaff arose from the fighting pits of 18th century England, by the mid 19th century the Staffordshire Terrier had been brought to the US where they became a familiar sight on the family farm, where they excelled as protector, varmint hunter, companion and “nanny dog” to the children. US breeders eventually developed a dog that was larger than the English version. The AKC eventually recognized the two types as separate breeds, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier.

Famous Amstaffs include Petey, from the “little Rascals” films of the 1930’s, Tige, from the old Buster Brown Shoes logo and Sgt. Stubby, America’s most decorated War Dog of WWI.

Today, the Amstaff is much more mellow than his ancestors, and is known as a smart, confident, good-natured companion. They are strong and active and excel in many dog sports such as Fastcat, Dock Diving, Barn Hunt and obedience.

Nessa, May, and Mandy are enjoying barn hunt training. Nessa made quite a fuss over her first rat. May is all business and Mandy just loves running around on the straw bales. Can't wait for their first trial.
