Description: The American Staffordshire Terrier is stoic and
reliable. Powerful looking, well-protective instinct should make strangers
beware, yet with their own family they are devoted, gentle and loving. The American
Staffordshire Terrier should never be confused with the Pit Bull Terrier.
They are courageous and a
tenacious fighter if provoked. Training can be a challenge because of
their pushy yet sensitive character. Their natural temperament towards people is
gentle and loving, unfortunately some have been improperly handled giving
the American Staffordshire Terrier a bad rap.
