I'm the breeder behind Ali-Aj located in Anza, CA. Breeding American Staffordshire Terriers is a passion of mine. I can't see myself doing anything else. My dogs are bred for versatility, temperament, health, and adherence to the AKC standard. I do everything I can to ensure the puppies have everything they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs.
About Terri
I started showing and breeding dogs in 1976 and got my first American Staff in 1994. We went on to win the World Show and many others. I fell in love with this breed! The pictures and lifelong correspondence with my many very satisfied customers make the hard work and dedication all worthwhile!
What makes Terri’s program special

From birth, they are each handled daily. At weaning, each puppy is handled and played with as well as playing with litter mates and mingling with other dogs, cats, and people. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with Cats, Socialized with Adult Dogs, and Household Desensitization.
I was a vet tech for years. My puppies religiously have all vaccines on dates due and 3 wormings by 8 weeks.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Ali-Aj hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
