Description
Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier (medium coat). This oddly handsome specimen is Cheese Stick! He is a 10 month old male Bull Terrier/Plott Hound or maybe coonhound or possibly Mountain Cur mix. He's a mish mash! Currently weighing in at 52 pounds, we think he will have some filling out to do but is essentially pretty much all grown up. Coming to us straight out of the hills and valleys of Southern Virginia, this dude will inspire conversations with complete strangers every single time you take him out and about. Cheese is a happy, bouncy, affectionate, goofy, flamboyant, always sees the bright side kind of boy. Perpetually outgoing and friendly - he's the poster child for a good time all the time. Cheese is largely a diamond in the rough. He improves day by day on his basic training and leash walking skills. Filled with anticipation and joy when first leashed up, he quickly realizes he can walk like a gentleman and sometimes he does! Food motivated and a quick learner, we believe Cheese will be more than a little fun to work with and train up. He has not shown any reactivity towards other dogs but would probably do best with a sister rather than a brother. He's probably going to be a little too Tigger like for small children but would love some older kiddos to romp with. Meet and greet would be required for both resident canines AND resident kids. Cheese probably won't do terribly well with cats. We have a feeling that he can be overbearing but wouldn't count out his ability to learn to live with them if they are added later on into the home, once his puppy antics are more controlled and he has a little more training under his belt. He is very responsive even if he has a little bit of ADHD - sometimes he just needs a second to realize you are requesting his full attention is all! We do not know what Cheese's experience is with living in a house, so doubt that he is reliably house trained. He probably didn't have much of a puppy hood, nor did anyone bother to give him rules or boundaries, but he is hungry to learn them. We think that if he is treated like the pup that he is, is enrolled in some House Training 101 class, and has some structure, he will be fabulous in the home. He has been introduced to a crate and actually traveled in one all the long long way from Virginia, so its familiar to him and will be a great part of his continuing education. He did well on his road trip to Ohio, so we anticipate he will be able to go for rides and trips with you without issue. Cheese is nearly ready for adoption.

Overview:
The American Staffordshire Terrier, often affectionately called an "AmStaff," is a breed with a fascinating history, originating in 19th-century England and later refined in the United States. Physically, they are medium-sized, muscular, and agile dogs, known for their powerful build and distinctive wide smile. Their short, stiff coat comes in a variety of colors and patterns. In terms of temperament, AmStaffs are generally intelligent, confident, and highly loyal to their families. They possess a strong desire to please and can be quite affectionate. While they can make excellent family companions and often get along well with children, early socialization and consistent training are crucial due to their strength and inherent protective instincts. They are adaptable and can thrive in various living situations, including apartments, as long as they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. Health-wise, they are generally robust, but some individuals may be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as certain heart conditions.
