About Us!

Ch. Van Gunn's Cruise Control, CGC,TDI, OFA hips,heart,thyroid, CERF, DNA (Nationally ranked in the Top 20 in1999, and Top 10 in 2000, briefly in Top 20 in 2002) **Our Primary Stud & Foundation Blue and White Male!**

We are a located on the East coast, in lovely Charleston, S.C. and have been involved with this wonderful breed since 1990....We believe this breed thrives in a loving environment which is why ALL of our dogs share our home, as they are an important part of our family! Choosing to breed only one litter a year (or less) with a very selective breeding program, we carefully plan our future litters based on sound health, good temperament, and ((PROPER breed - type,)) which helps us to maintain a good **'balance** as evident in the dogs we've produced...We are dedicated to producing the finest QUALITY "companion" and show AmStaffs possible! We take pride in our AmStaffs by always striving to breed a superior line of Wonderful blues, who possess VERY sweet dispositions, good health, dark pigment, and "correct" breed - structure. Our Blues are appreciated most for their unsurpassed temperaments, sound health, ""intelligence,"" althleticism and presence! We have been most fortunate in our quest for breeding and preserving the TRUE qualities that sets this breed apart from others... We welcome you to visit our current residents, and relatives.............
