Amstaff Bloodlines
Amstaff Red Nose, Sorrells, Jeep, Bullyson And Reids Are Not American Staffordshire Terrier Bloodlines.
The Blue Amstaff
Don't be fooled by saying one colour is rarer than another, and one colour Is more expensive to buy than another, this is just another money making scam!
Blue is only a Colour & a colour is only cosmetic, whether it be BLUE, Black, Red, White, Fawn, Seal, Brindle or any other colour. A dog’s colour should in no way determain it’s cost, and please remember that a colour is only cosmetic and has NO bearing on the dogs temperament, health or conformation which are so much more important. Please DON'T get caught-out by one of the oldest con's going!
Size
The American Staffordshire Terrier Is A MEDIUM Sized dog, Not a LARGE sized dog, and should be posessed of great strength and size. He is a balance of power and agillity.
(You can read more on size of the amstaff on our page Breed Standard)
Health Testing
One of the first questions you should be asking a breeder is, “Do they health test their breeding stock”? That question is priority No.1.
The Amstaff unfortunately has many serious hereditary health problems, a few of the major ones are Ataxia and Hip Dysplasia.
