I am Sarah van der Spek and I live in the province Groningen, which is in the north of Holland. My 4 Am Staffs join me here and I also own several Am Staffs which I placed somewhere else, because I think every dog deserves enough attention.

My passion for the Am Staff has begun in Den Haag, my home-town were lots of Am Staffs live. When I was a teenager, they caught my eye; such powerfull and beautiful dogs! When I went living on my own, I started browsing the internet and I finaly found the website of Cheyenne Indians (a kennel that is not active in breeding anymore). This kennel owned the wonderfull male Ch. Yukon's Diamond in the Ruff "Sonic" and when I saw his pictures I was totaly in love! After seeing his pedigree and watching his pictures over and over again, I made an appointment with the kennel. In 2003 I met Sonic for the first time and that was just amazing! Such an impressive dog with a gorgeous character. I also liked the other Am Staffs of this kennel so I put myself on the list for a puppy. In 2004 I could finaly pick up my first Am Staff and from there on my passion grew even more. Training, showing and learning more about the types and lines of this breed became my hobby and my hobby turned into a lifestyle. Now I am the proud owner of several Am Staffs and a kennelregistration myself.

I am basing my breedingprogram on the beautiful White Rock line. My goal is to breed healthy, athletic build dogs confirm the breedstandard. They should be capable to be active in different kinds of sport as well as competing in the showring. They should have enough driven temperament to work, but must have a stabile character to be a loving pet and showdog as well. Diversity and multifunctionality is what makes this breed so special! I like balanced dogs without any exaggerations. All my (bred) dogs have an FCI-pedigree and I am breeding confirm the rules of the ASTCH.

I would like to thank some people particularly, who made this all real for me!!!

* Sandra de Vries, Sandra & Arjen and Wendy Andriessen for their friendship and help!!!

* Jeroen Stallen (From the Southern Stables) for passing through all the information I know so far. Without you all this wasn't possible!

* Mickael and Celine of Guardians of Tower kennel for giving us the possibility to own my 2 beautiful foundation-girls and also John Meyer of the Cheyenne Indians kennel should be mentioned here, because that's where it all started.

* My family for their suport and understanding.

* The co-owners who are working together with me and giving me the upportunity to follow my goals.
