About Us

Tuff Love Kennels is really just a family of Bully breed enthusiasts.  We have always been a dog family, and as our AmStaff and (rescued) Pit Bull began to get older we figured we should get a young puppy to drive them crazy in their old age.

We had an old book on the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and after reading about them (but not ever having seen one) knew that was what we wanted.  However, we could not find a breeder in the area, or anywhere near for that matter.  While looking for a reputable breeder, we decided that maybe we should have a litter, our mother had bred english setters when she was younger, this would be a good way to give her some temporary 'grandchildren' to take care of.

So we started a process that ended up taking 3 years.  The whole family went to dog shows, we all talked to the breeder, we proved that we were a good, loving family that wanted to breed Staffybulls for all the right reason...Because we just love them!!!!

So we got Clover, our Bitch.  Then we got Frisco, our Stud.  Both had such good temperments, but Frisco kept growing taller and his tail kept curling up like a little pig.  He got too tall, and although we think his tail is not actually curly (it is just his personal preference to hold it like that) he does not have the bucket handle tail that is breed standard.  He is the best pet, but not up to standard for breeding.

We are not your average breeder...we have puppies because we love them and know that you will too.  We will make sure that every puppy is placed in the right home, which means that we need to get to know you.  If you would like any info on the breed or are interested in getting a pup, please contact us. Once ready, we want you to come by and see the puppies, meet our own best furry friends Clover, Frisco, and Beans.  Know what your getting yourself into for the next 12-15 years!
