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've placed with co-owners, because I think that every dog deserves enough attention. My passion for the Am Staff has begun in Den Haag, my home-town where lots of Am Staffs live. When I was a teenager, this breed caught my eye; such powerful and beautiful dogs! When I left my parental home, I started browsing the internet and I finally found the website of Cheyenne Indians, a kennel that was specialized in real working Am Staffs; dogs with spirit and game. Unfortunately this kennel is not active in breeding anymore. This kennel owned the wonderful males Chasqui Indian Dingo and Ch. Yukon's Diamond in the Ruff amongst other dogs. When I saw the pictures of these men I was totaly in love and after seeing their pedigree, I made an appointment with the kennel, this was in the summer of 2003. During my visit I actually liked all Am Staffs of this kennel, such impressive dogs with strong characters. I was put on the waiting list for a puppy and in 2004 I could finally pick up my first Am Staff. From there on my passion grew even further. Training, showing and learning more about the types and lines of this breed and about breeding itself became my hobby and my hobby turned into a lifestyle. That's the reason why I moved from the city to the countryside and now I am the proud owner of several Am Staffs and a kennel registration since 2005. I am basing my breeding program on the beautiful White Rock line with some other Ruffian influences here and there. 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 & Arjen, Marjolein van Vonno, Bianca Davids and Sandra de Vries for their friendship and help!!! * Jeroen Stallen for sharing his vision and information. * Mickael and Celine (Guardians of Tower kennel) and also John and Carla Meyer (Cheyenne Indians kennel) for giving me the possibility to own my two beautiful foundation-girls, with whom it all started. * My family for their suport and understanding. * The people who wanted to doggy-sit my sweeties when I couldn't walk. * The co-owners who are working together with me and giving me the upportunity to follow my goals!
