American Staffordshire Terrier - Overview and History

The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as AmStaffs, is a medium sized, but very heavy and strong, dog in the Terrier Group. This dog breed was accepted into the AKC in 1936, and they are well known for their heavily muscled frame and short muzzled face. Unfortunately due to their strength and size, AmStaffs were used throughout history in illegal dog fights.
