Backbones Kennel was official registered 6th of June 2009 and is running by me, Andreas Uhrwing.
I was brought up on a farm and have always been surrounded by animals and the work around animals. Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a kid. At first it was German Shepherd dog and Jack Russell, but then I felt I was looking for a dog with that “special” thing.
Through a temporary job at a medical clinic for animals, I first got in contact with American Staffordshire Terrier.

I really liked the combination of mental strength and the enormous devotion and loyalty of the breed. Unlikely what some people have claimed about Amstaff, this is a breed that seeks human contact and also is very fond of children.
In 2004 I bought Atlas, my first Amstaff and since that day I was stuck. Thoughts about breeding was not a step too far ahead, and after the purchase of Arla, time was right to start a kennel of my own.

By Backbones my ambition is to highlight the many good qualities of the Amstaff. All our dogs live as a part of our family and side by side with children. But yet, we’ll always have in mind this is a breed that demands an owner with a practiced hand.
