Welcome!

Welcome to the Official Site of the American Staffordshire Terrier Club of Cyprus.

We would like to inform you that we are an official and registered Club registered under the Cyprus Ministry of Internal Affairs.

We are all owners of an exceptional breed that very often it gets a lot of criticism by people with no knowledge about it. Looking for the first time at American Staffordshire Terriers give your the idea of aggressive dogs but this will go away after 5 minutes playing with them. This breed will make a great companion for an owner who plans to spend a lot of time with his dog and wants a close friend.

What we must have in mind for the American Staffordshire Terriers is their temperament, their good behaviour with children and their devotion to their owners.

We always have in mind what Wilfred Truman Brandon that was the Founding President and primary energy behind AKC recognition of the American Staffordshire Terrier. 

“Few dogs have been more carefully bred throughout their history, and there are few breeds with as voluminous pedigree records. Today the Staffordshire has emerged from his gladiatorial background as one of the finest of all dogs. He is proud and noble of bearing, he combines power and with grace and agility, he is bright and alert and his courage is not surpassed in any other animal on earth. He is intelligent, outstandingly amenable to training and discipline, and is adaptable to almost any conditions. He is superbly gentile with children, intensely loyal and affectionate, and is a wonderful watchdog. There are few dogs indeed that combine as many admirable qualities.”

“In no other breed is there present such a remarkable combination of gentleness, camaraderie and reliability.”

Be sure that you are ready to devote the time and energy to this dog that it requires. Amstaffs demands and thrives on a great deal of attention. Your relationship will benefit greatly from obedience training your dog.

As Health and character are the most important factors in choosing a puppy is always best to look for a puppy from good breeders that always test their dogs both for character and for health issues.
