Zeta’s Story

“The American Staffordshire Terrier is a breed I’ve loved since owning our first male, back in the early 1990's. “Gibson” was the progeny of the very first Amstaff’s imported into New Zealand.

Growing up with dogs all my life it was inevitable that our love for the Amstaff breed would become my passion and devotion to the betterment of it in our country. I have passed my love of Amstaff’s on to my daughter, Jordan, who I’m proud to jointly own Zaliamstaff with”.

Jordan campaigns Zaliamstaff’s Show Team with professionalism on the New Zealand Dog Show circuit, and as a youngster was one of the Top Junior Handlers in NZ.

Jordan and Zeta’s combined efforts have lead to Zaliamstaff becoming New Zealand's Top American Staffordshire Terrier Kennel, and home to the makers of Breed History in New Zealand.
