August 2022 - new publication: THE DEFINITIVE BOOK WRITTEN IN TWO LANGUAGES (ITALIAN/ENGLISH): "THIS IS THE AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER" by R. Paco Zanoia

This is the American Staffordshire Terrier

The circle closes: after decades of study, meetings, insights here is the final chapter of a life dedicated to the American Staffordshire Terrier. The origins of the breed, the spirit of the first breeders, the continuous research of the Standard for morphology, the care in the selection of typical characteristics, the Temperament first of all; the winners of the greatest dog shows in the world and how judges and handlers have impacted the Breed.

The Am Staf Type

WOP new AKC champion

Each breed has only one "right type", the typical Am Staf is the one that most closely matches the binding characteristics of the breed. The "type" is precisely what divides one dog breed from another. In all breeds there are small differences in size, expression, essence and elegance. These inequalities can be traced back to family peculiarities that determine differences in line, but not in type.

The greatest weapon of destruction for a pure dog breed is the ignorance of its Standard

Bill & Gotti

THE A.K.C. OFFICIAL STANDARD OF THE AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER (Approved June 10, 1936)

STANDARD PART 1

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 surrounding. He should be stocky, non long-legged or racy in outline. His courage is proverbial.

The Ultimate American Staffordshire Terrier - Il nuovo libro di Paco Zanoia

Staffordshire Terrier

Diamante del mio nuovo libro ed ineguagliabile valore aggiunto è questo esclusivo capitolo, appositamente ed esclusivamente scritto per me dal mio caro amico e mentore W. F. Bill Peterson (Willynwood Knl.). Questo scritto renderà inconfutabilmente chiare a tutti le origini e il percorso della nostra razza sin dai suoi albori nella “The Grand Old Breed”. Ogni passaggio del lungo percorso dell’ “All-American Dog” è dettagliatamente documentato da Mr. Peterson non a caso nato nel 1936, lo stesso anno in cui la razza ebbe il suo riconoscimento ufficiale dall'A.K.C.

The movement of am staf in the coming years

The movement of am staf in the coming years

I feel compelled to write to President Trump also to solve the growing problem in the rings of dog show in America and all over the the world... In fact, as few of us know, type and balance are of great importance and size should be kept in line with the Standard, and "showmanship is of some importance", but the real test for Am Staf is - the proper Terrier movement. German Shep is another breed.
