Quoted: Think slightly larger APBT. AmStaff=UKC recognized APBT...

The American Staffordshire Terrier is recognized by the AKC. The American Pit Bull Terrier is not.
The APBT is recognized by the UKC.
If your AmStaff is AKC you can Duel-register him/her with UKC.
If he/she is first registered with UKC as an APBT you can NOT duel-register.
Traditionaly the Amstaff is a little larger than the APBT. Most, however concider them the same dog.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU FIND ONE FROM A REPUTABLE BREEDER!
As far as the intruder thing goes i'm not sure yet. I've never had one. I can tell you though that when the door bell rings my "little" fella lets out a bark that would make anyone think twice about comming in alone. When friends come over that he is not familiar with, he is not mean or agressive in any way. He just wants to play and lick their faces and ears. Something about ears with these guys.
