Our mission here at Raging Moon, is to produce Quality Am Staffs, Without Compromising Type or Temperament.
Our bloodlines include: Sindelar with an outcross to Paragon, with a splash of Touch O Class thrown in for good measure. Every dog here goes back to the historical breedings between Ch Tryarr Diamondback Redbolt and Ch Sindelar's Heidi Ho. Through Orion, Misty Mudd and Hawk. Fred and Evelyn Sindelar produced some of the finest Am Staffs in history with those four litters, I am proud to base my kennel on their work.

Ch Nightlord's Donner, CD was my first Am Staff - he was given to me as a gift in 1985 from Kim Davis - Nelson (now Bear Mountain) he was the light of my life. The Donny x Misty Mudd breeding is what we have based most of our kennel on. Our foundation bitch Ch Touch O'Class Daddy's Girl was given to me as a gift from the late great Jane Rebello - Touch O'Class Am Staffs. Jane and Charlie taught me so many things that have helped me through the years. Having a mentor in them was a gift. Dr. Debra Jackson who owned Missy, is more than a co-breeder, she is my best friend. Together with her Talk O The Town kennel (with Sonia Velarde) we have done and intend to do great things.

My philosophy in dogs is that friendships come first. Through the years I have dealt with Flatlanders (Rachel Kruidinier), Ruff Rider (Michael McMurray), Roadhouse (Greg Roadhouse), Fraja EC (Kimberly Roberts-Rudzick, John McCartney), Fraja NE (Bonnie Gottier), DePaco (Paco Zanoia), Gold Rush (Dave and Anne Del Rio),Cedar River ASTs (Carrie Lee), Cabin Creek (Mike and Monica Davi) and Tiziano Milani (Stone Free).

We are a simple hobby kennel, producing one litter per year. We show our dogs on a VERY limited basis, yet we have managed to stay competitive thoughout the years. Raging Moon bred or handled dogs have CONSISTENTLY been in the ribbons at all of the specialties they have been at. Here at Raging Moon we try our very best to breed dogs that conform to our standard as it is written, therefore we do NOT breed for blue or use blue factored dogs in our breeding program. We do NOT sell broodstock EVER.
