Amseraphs would like to introduce
“Our ULTIMATE breed of dog”
Tim and I have had dogs our entire lives, but for me they were just pets while I competed heavily in equestrian. However For Tim being involved with pure bred dogs his entire life and professionally handling dogs in more recent years it has always been a passion of his.
Tim's grandparents entered the pure bred dog world breeding and exhibiting Chows, his parents then later became involved with a breed of their own Alaskan Malamutes - which to this day are still involved with and Tim had been involved with Siberian Huskies and was handling professionally for some fifteen years in the Utility ring prior to becoming involved with American Staffordshire Terriers.
It was the Amstaff that brought us together, I originally became good friends with Tim through our mutual interest of showing dogs. Now we have a four year old son, and an ever growing family of quality Amstaffs.
The American Staffordshire Terrier is our passion...
We pride ourselves in producing consistent quality in health, temperament, conformation and type. All our dogs are tested for Hips, Elbows, Cardiac and Ataxia and are DNA Profiled. We will not breed from any dog unless they have passed all their health testing and meet our the highest of standards in temperament, type and conformation.
At Amseraphs we have dedicated ourselves to an ongoing learning curve through extensive research, we are always open to learning more and more. We have made some very close friends and mentors from USA who have been in the breed since the 1960’s and 1970’s and who are amongst the most renowned and successful breeders across the world today.
We have selectively bred and chosen the lines, type, style, temperament and conformation that most appeals to us and as a result have been extremely successful producing top winning dogs around the world today. Dogs we have bred and dogs that have been sired by our males Include American Champions, European Champions, Australian Champions, Grand Champions, Royal Winning, Best In Group Winning, Best In show Winning and Best In Specialty Show Winning dogs along with producing New Zealand's top winning American Staffordshire Terrier of all time.
We have our mentors to thank for giving us the foundation to Amseraphs, and we hope that we can continue to do them proud in the future....
Our Amstaffs have proven to display eternal devotion to us and our family, they are extremely enthusiastic, energetic, outgoing, confident, bubbly, reliable, trustworthy and athletic dogs that are ideally suited to our lifestyle and are just a part of our huge family. Our Amstaffs are a laugh a minute; always up to some silly antic, which I am sure is aimed at entertaining you…They take great pride in amusing you. Their nature to me is much like that of a cheeky child, each and every one of them has their own individual personality!!! Plus I just cannot go past their forever wagging tails and the huge amount of love they show in their eyes!!!
The future of this wonderful breed belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams, set goals and work hard to achieve them and make their dreams a reality.
Allowing nothing to stand in their way, no obstacle is too large to overcome when you are as dedicated to the betterment and preservation of the American Staffordshire Terrier as we are at Amseraphs!!!
Our first Amstaff was our BEAUTIFUL girl Bella – I looked into her eyes and my love for the breed was instant. She stole my heart away as well as the hearts of all those she met in life!!!
We live on a large property just a one minute walk from the beach which also backs onto a large reserve and national park land. Our dogs enjoy the best in life - they have plenty of room to run and play and go for daily walks through bush tracks and finish it off with a run on the sand and swim at the beach.
We run all our dogs together and pride ourselves in proper socialisation and great temperaments and also allow our puppies from each litter to have time to run and play with the adults and experience life as part of our huge family.
Although conformation showing is our main focus, we also now are home to two accredited therapy dogs who make regular visits to children's hospitals and nursing homes. We also actively participate in obedience and agility training with our dogs - although we do not compete in these areas due to time restrictions..We also highly recommend that all puppy owners train their dogs in these areas to get the absolute most out of their new puppy for the the rest of his or her life.
We breed for more than just outstanding conformation we breed to maintain the Amstaffs natural intelligence, eagerness, athleticism, endurance, focus and keenness and work with lines that are renowned for excelling in all aspects of canine sports.
Our babies just LOVE going to down to the beach with my father and romping together and going for a swim we take great care in ensuring they are kept in prime condition at all times.
We only have a small number of Amstaffs living at home with us at any time and several that we co-own who live with families of their own that visit and stay over regularly, as they are a breed that requires a lot of individual attention, we prefer to have our dogs living in good stable family homes with their own families getting the training and amount of attention they need and deserve.
Our Amstaffs are part of our family and I would like to give a very special thanks to my entire family and my extended family (The Amseraphs Family) for all their support and help in the past years with this wonderful breed.
Yours in Amstaffs
Tim, Kelly, Alex and the Amseraphs Amstaffs.
The meaning of "Amseraphs"
The name Amseraphs is taken from the word Seraphim. The Seraphim to every last detail describes exactly what our Amstaffs mean to us...
The Seraphim are the angels that come first and are closest to the throne of God. They exist in the uppermost part of the hierarchy and their every name means ardour (love, passion, enthusiasm, devotion, dedication & commitment). They are said to encircle the throne, existing off the love emanated by god. This burning fiery love keeps them ever close to god's throne and they bear the love and light to all others.
The name Seraphim indicates their ceaseless and eternal devotion and eternal revolution about divine principles, their heat and keenness, the exuberance of their intense, perpetual, tireless activity, and their elevative and energetic assimilation of those below, kindling them and firing them to their own heat, and wholly purifying them by a burning and all consuming flame. By the unhidden, unquenchable, changeless, radiant & enlightening power that exists within the Seraphim, the Seraphim dispel and destroy the shadows of darkness, the Seraphim prevent negative energy from getting through to divinity...
