American Bull Dane

American Bull Dane History

The American BullDane, or AmStaff, is an American-bred hybrid (or “designer”) of 2 or more purebred bull breeds, including the Bulldog and the Staffordshire Terrier. The Amstaff was bred by crossing the American Staffordshire with the English Bulldog to produce a more ferocious looking, but more controllable, version of the pit-bull. The Amstaff is a descendant of the American Pit Bull Terrier, which was at one time a fighting dog in the pits. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, often pit bulls were crossed with bulldogs or terriers for strength, but with fewer tendencies toward aggression.
