As you know me, I allways hang around on sites about our breed.
It is said that our breed is not social, agressive and has the eyes of the devil...
Well, I found some remarkable writings from people/
i would like to indroduce them to you.
here is one:

One of the most misunderstood breeds.
I came upon my Am Staf accidentally. A friend of my son's, acquired him as a little pup. Looking for a good home for him, he came to me. I was very apprehensive about taking him, like many other people, because of all the hype in the media. He was just the cutest little thing, although not that little!
I told him I needed a day to do as much research on the breed as I could, and that I would let him know. Well, I couldn't get him out of my mind, and after researching the breed, within a matter of hours I was calling him to bring him over. And so he became a part of our family. I told him, "Give me two days to see if he will work out with the family" (I have three children, a thirteen-year-old Shepherd, cat and guinea pigs). The first comment from my husband, as I hadn't told him what I intended to do, was, "IS THAT ONE OF THOSE DOGS?!" But soon he became one of us. He is nine months old now, and I couldn't picture my life without him. He goes to work with me, and is on my heels everywhere I go.
My dog is loyal, so concerned with everyone, social, but yet intimidating to strangers (which was exactly what I wanted). Absolutely human-like. I thank God (and my son's friend) everyday that he was brought to me. I love him like one of my children. I will never own another breed again. I hope that people will research, and get to know these dogs instead of making judgments as to only the BAD things they hear in the media. They are by far the most misunderstood breed.
