AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER

COAT The American Staffordshire Terrier has a short, close, stiff to the touch, and glossy.

CHARACTER The courage of the American Staffordshire Terrier is proverbial. Even so, these dogs are docile, and with a little training are even tractable around other dogs. They are intelligent, excellent guardians, and they protect their masters’ property with an air of authority that counts. They easily discriminate between strangers who mean well and those who do not. When they are sold, or change hands, they accept their new master in a comparatively short time.
