Per the shelter she came from Hazel is an American Staffordshire and Dog de Bordeaux mix. They claim to have done DNA testing. Frankly, I don't see the Bordeaux. They are desended from mastiffs. She is not a big dog.

Anyway, my question is regarding AmStaffs temperament. The information I found on line is contradictory. Some places say AmStaffs can be aggressive. Others say they are like teddy bears. Anybody have an personal experience?

Hazel has not shown ANY indication of aggressiveness. She is happy/excited to meet new people, but has not growled, barked,etc at anybody. She is sweet with me. She might try to jump on me when excited, but am training that out of. I consider that "normal" dog behavior. She sweet and cuddly the rest of the time. Given her choice she would spend the day curled next to me on the sofa.

Maybe I'm making a problem where none exists. Maybe I should just accept that what I see is who she is.
