American Staffordshire Terrier Exercise Information:

The American Staffordshire Terrier needs an outlet for his energy. A good, daily walk of about 5 to 10 kilometres will keep you and your Amstaff fit and trim. The American Staffordshire Terrier should always be on a leash when walking him, even when you are certain he will not show aggression. Passers-by will appreciate your consideration, especially if they have small children. Frightening others will do little in the way of improving the image of this underappreciated breed.

The American Staffordshire Terrier will also enjoy a vigorous game in the yard. Your interaction with your Amstaff will go a long way in keeping him happy and content. And, although this breed is hardy, he cannot live isolated from his family. Allowing your American Staffordshire Terrier to divide his play between outdoor romps and indoor affection will keep your Amstaff at his gentle best.

American Staffordshire Terrier Grooming Needs:

Grooming your American Staffordshire Terrier is a snap. A gentle weekly brushing and occasional bath is all that is required to keep your Amstaff at his tidy best. This breed may drool occasionally, but he is not slobbery and fortunately, the American Staffordshire Terrier doesn’t protest strongly against baths. Be sure to use only low fragrance doggie shampoo and rinse thoroughly. Shampoo residue can lead to irritation and hotspots on the coat of your American Staffordshire Terrier. Should such an outbreak occur, seek veterinary care at once.
