The Amstaff Legacy Project was created to preserve the knowledge, stories, and experiences of influential American Staffordshire Terrier breeders. Too often, valuable insights about breeding philosophy, health, temperament, and the history of bloodlines remain locked away in conversations or disappear when breeders retire. This project is about capturing those voices and making them available for the future of our breed.

Purpose and Mission

My mission is to document and share the wisdom of long-standing breeders who have shaped the American Staffordshire Terrier. Through structured interviews, I aim to:

• Preserve knowledge for new generations of breeders

• Highlight different breeding philosophies and approaches

• Document health challenges and solutions through lived experience

• Showcase the resilience, type, and temperament of the breed

This is not a commercial project. It is entirely non-profit and motivated by a deep respect for the Amstaff community.

How It Works

Breeders are invited to participate by completing a detailed interview questionnaire. They are encouraged to share not only text but also photos, documents, and pedigrees that illustrate their breeding journey.

Each interview is carefully prepared, edited only for clarity and grammar, and then published on amstaff-legacy.com. All contributors retain their intellectual property rights, and proper attribution is given for every photo or document shared.

To protect breeder contributions, all submitted content is watermarked before publishing. Each watermark is placed under the breeder’s own name, ensuring recognition and safeguarding the material.

New interviews are free to access for anyone interested in the breed.
