Did You Know?

An American Staffordshire Terrier named Stubby earned the rank of Sergeant and was the most decorated dog of World War I.
As the breed moved to America the names Pitdog and Pitbull Terrier stuck. However, American breeders wanted an animal heavier than the British breed, hence the name American Staffordshire Terrier.
The roots of the American Staffordshire Terrier can be traced through early Mastiff warriors, to the original Bulldogs in England, which were used in the bloody sport of bull baiting.
The American Staffordshire Terrier was accepted in 1936 for registration in the American Kennel Club stud book as Staffordshire Terriers.
American Staffordshire Terriers are intelligent and excellent guardians.

It is widely accepted that this breed evolved in part from the old "Bulldogue" brought over from the Staffordshire region of

England
