ABOUT: AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER DOG BREED
The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the Amstaff, is a medium-sized, muscular breed known for its loyalty and courage. Developed in the United States, they are intelligent and affectionate dogs, making them great family companions. With a distinctive short coat and strong build, American Staffordshire Terriers are often misunderstood due to their past as fighting dogs, but they are actually loving and playful pets when raised in a nurturing environment. They thrive on human interaction and are eager to please their owners.
The Thai Ridgeback is a rare and ancient breed originating in Thailand, known for their distinctive ridge of hair running along their back in the opposite direction of their coat. These medium-sized, muscular dogs are independent, loyal, and protective, making them excellent guard dogs. With a history dating back over 400 years, Thai Ridgebacks have a strong prey drive, high energy levels, and require firm handling and early socialization to thrive as loving family pets.
