About Us
We're Lacey & Luisma Benitez — two people deeply passionate about the American Staffordshire Terrier, and this is our virtual home.
Health and temperament, above all else
Welcome to LBK Amstaffs, where we're delighted to share a bit about ourselves. With 20 years of experience dedicated to this breed, we've embarked on a remarkable journey of companionship and dedication — a world where health, temperament, and the essence of the AmStaff hold a special place in our hearts.
Our primary focus is the well-being of these wonderful dogs. We prioritize their health and temperament above all else. Each of our AmStaffs undergoes thorough health testing, ensuring they embody the AKC breed standard while also radiating robust health and a stable, loving temperament. We are the only breeder to achieve the Platinum Breeder of Merit status from the AKC, the highest level a breeder can reach.
Drawing on 15 years of experience as veterinary technicians, we understand the importance of nurturing both the physical and mental well-being of our puppies. We value lasting connections and encourage all owners to stay in touch with us throughout their puppy's life.
Located in the charming surroundings of St. Augustine, Florida, we cherish the time we spend with our dogs in Conformation, Obedience, Rally, Barn Hunt, Dock Diving, and Lure Coursing.
Our puppies are nurtured with the Puppy Culture method, instilling confidence and adaptability from day one.
As proud AKC Breeders of H.E.A.R.T. and dedicated members of the Staffordshire Terrier Club of America, we promote this breed positively. We encourage all puppy owners to enroll in puppy classes, and ask that all pets be spayed/neutered to ensure responsible ownership.
