Sara Nugent has owned American Staffordshire Terriers for 45 years and has shown her dogs in conformation, obedience and agility for most of those years, earning championships and advanced training titles. For the last 16 years she has been the Judge’s Education Committee Chairman for the Staffordshire Terrier Club of America and is a past President and member of the Board of Directors of the club. She bred Am Staffs under the kennel name of Our Gang Kennel. She owned the #1 Conformation Am Staff of 1974 and won the STCA National Specialty twice with the same dog. Although no longer actively breeding or showing in conformation, she still exhibits her dogs in agility and trains in other working venues. Her Am Staffs have also been ranked #1 in Obedience and #1 in Agility for the breed in various years. Her interest has always been in the proper structure, temperament and working abilities of the breed, and bringing the dogs to their full potential through training. She is a long time professional dog show photographer and student of the Am Staff breed.
