Nurturing & showcasing the well-rounded Amstaff w/correct structure & proven performance capabilities

I have been blessed to have American Staffordshire Terriers in my life for 20 years now - when I got my first AmStaff (dually registered as an APBT) named "Benny" in 2003 from Mark Strand in Paradise, Texas. Thank you to Mark for giving me my start in this wonderful breed! And eternally grateful

to breeders Karen & Ed Thomason of Alpine Falls Amstaffs for my amazing, quick & drivey boy, Chip; and to breeders, Kelly Thorburn & Betty Michl of Michl R Amstaffs for my incredibly smart Loveta, who has the most amazing temperament! Since 2003, I have been involved in the world of showing dogs, starting with Benny, who I handled to more than 60 AKC & UKC performance titles & in the breed ring. And currently, Chip has earned 105 titles in AKC & UKC conformation & performance, and Loveta has earned 45 - totaling more than 210 titles earned on all 3 AmStaffs combined! Proud that Benny earned the AKC STCA Performance Versatility PLATINUM Award in 2015 & the UKC NAPBTA 2015 Karen Dawes Memorial Performance Versatility Award, which was co-awarded with Valerie Piltz and her dog, Power Ball. Chip has earned the AKC STCA Performance Versatility BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, PLATINUM & DIAMOND Awards. And has a slew of other accomplishments listed on his page of my web site (see attached link). Loveta's performance work is also detailed there, including her performance in the AKC 2021 National Trick Dog Championship, where she was awarded "Outstanding Performance" of all breeds nationwide & " #1 Amstaff" in this national competition! We do this work because it is fun for us and the dogs, because it keeps us all mentally and physically active, and because we love to show the world the amazing capabilities of this talented, smart & well-rounded breed - when properly bred, raised, trained and loved! I have been a member of the Staffordshire Terrier Club of America since 2013, where I have served on the STCA Editorial Committee from 2016 to 2022. And on the STCA Performance Committee from 2016 to present.

This beautiful fawn-colored AmStaff (ID: purple girl) is from the Chip x Loveta litter (13 weeks old, born 1/09/23.) A good performance & show prospect from this litter, this little girl is sweet & loveable! Not to mention, she is a beautiful and substantial puppy with lovely structure, nice bone, nice top line & shoulders, a pretty head & face, and lovely dark pigment. The puppies have been socialized, given foundation training in puppy agility, and have each had five swimming lessons at an indoor heated pool under the guidance of a veterinarian. Sire and dam have been OFA health tested and have earned a combined total of 150 titles in AKC and UKC, including show champion titles and advanced performance titles in a variety of dog sports: obedience, rally, dock diving, lure coursing CATS & FCATS, Precision coursing, trick dog, stunt dog, barn hunt, agility, weight pull, Canine Good Citizen, temperament testing, & farm dog.

This gorgeous fawn-colored AmStaff (ID: gray boy) is from the Chip x Loveta litter born 1/09/23. An excellent show prospect & also great performance prospect from this litter, this little boy is full of confidence! He is happy, friendly, outgoing, & playful! He has the most beautiful structure with lovely angles, nice topline, very pretty color & flashy markings with such a pretty coat. He is a standout! He has the most gorgeous head ever, in my opinion! Nice natural ears and such a pretty face. He should do well in the show ring!

We are so excited about this breeding, which combines the esteemed lines of: Michl R (x Gaster) and Alpine (x LBK), with many amazing dogs in both the sire's & dam's lineage. In addition to the aforementioned lines, this pair's 3-generation pedigree includes the well-known: Sindelar, Benmar, Ring Master, Willynwood, Apachstaffs, Fraja, Royal Court, Castle Rocks, Tmbrld's, Von Sentinels, Gaster, Fraja EC...so many amazing specimens of the breed. I am in awe!

And taking full advantage of those good genes, Chip and Loveta have proven themselves in multiple dog sports & venues, earning 150 titles combined in AKC & UKC: Conformation, Obedience, Dock Diving, Rally, Trick Dog, Stunt Dog, Nose/Scent Work, Lure Coursing CATS, FAST CATS, Precision Coursing, Barn Hunt, Weight Pull, Agility, Herding/Farm Dog, and Temperament Testing. We take pride in having dogs that are incredibly smart, driven, biddable, and built to perform - for performance and the show ring!

Loveta, with Brian handling, earned FIRST PLACE with a score of 198 at today's AKC OBEDIENCE trial in Westford, MA!
My little MICHL R x Guffy of Gaster girl was trained from birth almost by breeder Kelly Thorburn, who dedicates her life to giving all her AmStaff pups the very best start in life with a strong foundation for learning - to set them each up for success in life, whatever the task at hand! And luckily, Brian has offered to take on Loveta's obedience work, so she’s in capable hands! ❤️
