About us

For over 28 years, we have dedicated ourselves to breeding exceptional Staffordshire Bull Terriers that embody the true spirit of this remarkable breed—loyal, affectionate, courageous, and loving companions that become cherished family members.

My Story

Our journey began with a simple love for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier’s unique combination of strength and gentleness. What started as admiration for the breed has evolved into a lifelong commitment to preserving and promoting the qualities that make Staffies so special: their unwavering devotion to family, their remarkable patience with children, and their cheerful, fearless temperament.

At Home Raised Staffords, we don’t just breed Staffordshire Bull Terriers—we raise family. Every puppy is born and raised in our home, surrounded by love, laughter, and the everyday rhythms of household life. From their first breath to the moment they leap into your arms, our Staffies are nurtured as cherished members of our family, not kennel occupants.

We believe that responsible breeding begins with rigorous health screening, ethical selection, and unwavering commitment to the breed’s well-being. That’s why every one of our breeding dogs undergoes comprehensive evaluations—including DNA testing for L-2HGA, OFA-certified screenings for hips, patellas, and elbows, annual CERF eye exams, cardiac assessments, and thorough temperament evaluations. Our goal is simple: to produce healthy, stable, and happy puppies who embody the true spirit of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier—loyal, affectionate, courageous, and gentle.

Far from the myths and misconceptions, the Staffie is a devoted companion known for its “nanny dog” heritage—renowned for patience with children, eagerness to please, and a loving, people-oriented personality. We’re passionate about preserving these qualities through intentional, science-backed, and heart-led breeding practices.

Our puppies are raised using early neurological stimulation (ENS), exposed to household sounds, children, and varied environments, and begin crate and potty training before they go home. You’ll receive weekly photo and video updates, personalized guidance, and lifetime breeder support—because our relationship with you doesn’t end at pickup. It’s just beginning.

Whether you’re looking for a joyful family pet, a therapy companion, or a loyal adventure partner, we’re honored to help you find the perfect Staffie match.

Welcome to Home Raised Staffords—where heritage, health, and heart come home.
