So off a few pictures you would like to breed your dog with this dog? That makes no sense. You don't even know if he accomplished anything and to me he doesn't really fit the AKC standard. Great looking dog but seems big.

AKC AmStaff standard copied from American Staffordshire Terrier Page

General Impression
The American Staffordshire Terrier should give the impression of great strength for his size, a well put-together dog, muscular, but agile and graceful, keenly alive to his surroundings. He should be stocky, not long-legged or racy in outline. His courage is proverbial.

Head
Medium length, deep through, broad skull, very pronounced cheek muscles, distinct stop; and ears are set high. Ears - Cropped or uncropped, the latter preferred. Uncropped ears should be short and held rose or half prick. Full drop to be penalized. Eyes - Dark and round, low down in skull and set far apart. No pink eyelids. Muzzle - Medium length, rounded on upper side to fall away abruptly below eyes. Jaws well defined. Underjaw to be strong and have biting power. Lips close and even, no looseness. Upper teeth to meet tightly outside lower teeth in front. Nose definitely black.

Neck
Heavy, slightly arched, tapering from shoulders to back of skull. No looseness of skin. Medium length.

Shoulders
Strong and muscular with blades wide and sloping.

Back
Fairly short. Slight sloping from withers to rump with gentle short slope at rump to base of tail. Loins slightly tucked.

Body
Well-sprung ribs, deep in rear. All ribs close together. Forelegs set rather wide apart to permit chest development. Chest deep and broad.

Tail
Short in comparison to size, low set, tapering to a fine point; not curled or held over back. Not docked.

Legs
The front legs should be straight, large or round bones, pastern upright. No semblance of bend in front. Hindquarters well-muscled, let down at hocks, turning neither in nor out. Feet of moderate size, well-arched and compact. Gait must be springy but without roll or pace.

Coat
Short, close, stiff to the touch, and glossy.

Color
Any color, solid, parti, or patched is permissible, but all white, more than 80 per cent white, black and tan, and liver not to be encouraged.

Size
Height and weight should be in proportion. A height of about 18 to 19 inches at shoulders for the male and 17 to 18 inches for the female is to be considered preferable.

Faults
Faults to be penalized are: Dudley nose, light or pink eyes, tail too long or badly carried, undershot or overshot mouths.

Really could care less about what he may or may not have accomplished,he's a big am staff -but good looking too. I'd love a pup off him,my old girl Cali-she's as pure as they come and she put out a couple big males,not as tall as the subject but just as big,personally I think the AKC is a joke,I've seen a lot of suspect dogs and breeders all AKC down here in my state. So I'm not at all impressed with them. My girl is fixed ,her breeding days are over btw.

If you don't care what he has accomplished you are breeding for PETS...if you are breeding for PETS ONLY then you are adding to the issue of overpopulation of dogs, not helping!!!


And to the OP...didn't you say his father is a GRAND PUP of Notorius Juan Gotti....if that is true, he cannot be an AKC registered dog...that or the breeders are lieing...correct me if I am wrong.

Ur right Steel. Juan Gotti is a ukc dog that is technically a bully. Most juan gotti dogs are in the ABKC.

Thats what I thought...I looked up the pedigree and saw that it does have AKC in the background but most of the top half is labeled as UNKNOWN....but I know AmBully people love that dog and how he produced and he had a crapload of offspring.

I checked out IRONMAN Pits and all I saw was UKC (possibly) but mostly AMBULLY type dogs.

Yeah most AmBullies have AmStaff blood. That's the original producing stock. they were supposed to be AmStaff APBT mixed. Although now a days u can't believe some of the peds at all.

Actually,the few times I bred my old girl, were for family and hunting,got some great hog dogs out of her-never sold one of my pups,and all are still around with family members. almost all of of her stuff are game and great catchers. A few are just plan old farm dogs. Personally , I don't believe in breeding and selling to the general public. That to mean is what's part of the problem,all these kennels out to make a dollar.

Thats good to hear...it just seemed odd the way you said if your girl could still breed, you'd take him to her...you knew nothing about his temperament or anything...just seemed more of a backyard breeder thing than someone who is trying to improve the breed.

It was a backyard breeder statement. Lord only knows what that dogs temperament or genetics is like (no offense to the op, just making a point), but because it "looks" good he'd breed it.

cute dog , you have his pedigree online? would love to see it. I know some am staff breeders and he is just far from what I see off there yards. I though am bully or mastiff cross when I saw him , either way he is cute.

Lot's happened here! - Let me clarify a few things

A. NEVER give your girlfriend your GoPitBull Password - She made me and my dog look like a moron.

B. Scruff is UKC Purple Ribbon - Line of blues. He is the great grandson of the notorious juan gotti. His mother's pedigree would be something I would need to get from the breeder. If you want to check out there site you can see it at bluekarmabullies.com - Not claiming him to be perfect, he is just a house pet, but people ask us about his pedigree alot.

C. I wish I would have gotten his ears cropped - too old now

D. He is probably the most layed back pup Ive ever owned. He is almost too layed back. From what I've been told from the breeder... he was the only male of the litter and his sisters were very hyper. Guess that is his way of dealing with THAT bs... just walking away.

E. It's hard to really tell his height from these pics depending on the angle and stuff he isnt as tall as I think some people are thinking. I took this one this morning. Loving the convo lines tho!

ScruffDaddy

We have a really bad vid quality vid of him on youtube... if anyone's interested. Showing how big of a puss he is if anyone is interested
Here is a vid of dad and momma with some of the pups (older) - The breeder doesn't breed anymore.
Have a good day guys

Thanks for clearing some of that up for us. UKC papers make more sense.

UKC doesn't register am staffs. And, purple ribbon only means there are like 3 or 4? Generations of dogs registered with the UKC. Papers can still be hung, and there could've still been other breeds mixed in before those few generations. Papers are only as honest as the person you got them from. A lot of American bullies are still registered with the UKC. Take a look at the ch. show dog posted earlier. Your dog doesn't resemble it in the least. He doesn't conform to the am staff OR ApBT standard. Period. But he is a pretty boy! And he's a good pet, and that's all that matters.
