Sabbath Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I've gotta mention the breeder I got my boy through. Amseraphs Amstaffs. Kelly is excellent to deal with and has fantastic dogs. I had Bender flown up from Sydney to the Gold Coast. Most handsome and well bred dog I've ever owned. I spent 12 months looking for a pup and waited for the breeding to take place. I know it's far from home for you but I really have a wonderful dog from this breeder. http://www.amseraphsamstaffs.com/Home.htm I am in constant contact with Kelly on FB and she is always available on the phone. Couldn't ask for more! Good luck and enjoy the process of finding your new dog! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-sass Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Don't forget there's plenty of Amstaffs in need at pounds as well. There are downsides to getting a dog from the pound, you will never have papers for the dog, which can present a problem for Am Staffs in some areas. Many councils however, won't interfere provided a dog never comes to their attention for any reason. I am not sure what the situation is in Brisbane. Blacktown pound in Sydney is where I got my dog, there are always so many Am Staffs in there. Its a tragedy that so many good looking, healthy dogs with great temperaments are put to sleep. Here is a link to the current list at Blacktown pound, lots of Am Staffs, as usual. http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/239871-blacktown-pound-week-beginning-23072012/ In checking rescues, be aware that rescuers and pounds usually don't have access to pedigrees so American Staffordshires may be mislabelled as Staffy crosses or other similar variations, and unrelated cross breeds may be incorrectly labelled Amstaff. Closer to you, I just did a very quick search of QLD animal rescue. I didn't go through them all, there's far too many, but here is a small selection you might be interested in: http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/148652 http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/168536 http://www.petrescue.com.au/_feed/view/?animal=131939 http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/162626 http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/153572 http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/164698 http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/168433 http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/168148 http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/158164 http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/165145 Unbelievable..........so how do we determine these dogs are not Pitbull's to get scooped up in the BSL system.......anything Amstaff is sheer stupidity IMHO to purchase unpapered in this legislative climate, if the ranger grabs your dog you have been warned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Some pounds will get "suspect dogs" legally breed assessed so they'll be safe from BSL in NSW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-sass Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Some pounds will get "suspect dogs" legally breed assessed so they'll be safe from BSL in NSW At the moment yes, but whether it remains that way is something to consider for the future as the fact is as far as I am aware, you can't tell legally or professionally whether a cross is Pitbull or Amstaff with a dog of unconfirmed/unknown parentage??. However for the purpose of this thread my advice going Amstaff is to buy papered from a registered breeder to safeguard against potential problems down the track.

Wobbly Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hey Ruth! Your new dog looks beautiful. Another stunning Am Staff rescue added to the pack. "D Jhonboy, It's great to see you're considering a rescue, but understandable that the kids want a puppy. Pups do come up in rescue though, so it's worthwhile keeping an eye out. In terms of BSL - it's an issue in some areas and a non-issue in others, as I mentioned previously I don't know the situation in Brisbane. Since you're researching the subject and asking questions, you'll definitely get an awesome pet. For a pedigree dog the breeders already mentioned here - Mischief Maker, Amseraph and Iron Klad are all excellent, they have posted here alot and we have seen numerous pics of litters and major show wins, as well as pics from people who own dogs they've bred. So tonnes of people here can vouch for their reliability as breeders of the best quality Am Staffs. If you go through the Amstaff thread you can see many of those pics and discussions for yourself, response times there can be slow though - I guess the Am Staff owners are busy so it's a quality rather than quantity kind of thread. XD Anyway, good luck with your search, I hope a suitable pup turns up soon, and we'd love to see pictures when you do get your pup. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Are you back on the CC? What happened to Italy?? One day I'll make the trek up there for a visit. Bruno and Jarrah would have a ball running riot together :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbly Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yes! You should definitely come up with Bruno "D Does he swim? We have the best doggy swimming spots here, both dams and ocean. Jarrah's actually OK with other dogs these days, which I'm delighted about, not sure when and how it happened, I've just been careful about socialisation, and she's slowly come good. I'll still never fully trust her to rough & tumble play with other dogs, I definitely keep her leashed when other dogs are running around & playing, but in terms of hanging out in a low excitement scenario, she's fine. Italy has been postponed due to some medical stuffs (I'm all good though don't worry!) & I have enough trouble deciphering medical jargon in English, so the thought of doing it in Italian is.... well it'd be comical for the Italians at least I guess. XD Still definitely moving there at some point, but it'll be later than we'd hoped for. In the interim we did some travelling round Australia for 7 months - some pics in the APBT & Amstaff thread.
