I have been involved with American Staffordshire Terriers since 1988 when I first moved to California. Since then I have bred many Champions under different kennel names. I myself chose to not have a kennel prefix as I see myself as a Professional Handler first then as a breeder. I have bred dogs under the kennel prefix's of "Rockhard" "Ashla's" and "Oceansides". Currently I use the kennel name Oceanside out of respect for all that Mr. Ed Kim has done for me. Oceanside consists of many people including myself, Ed Kim, and Wayne and Leilani Kane. I also am involved in many different ways with T-Force Staffs (Ethan Castillo), and Big 'R' Staffs (John Tai). Many people have asked me why I never had a kennel prefix of my own? My answer is I enjoy helping people make a kennel name of their own and therefore setting a "type" in the American Staffordshire Terrier world. Others will recognize me for my dedication efforts in showing, breeding, and loving this great breed through my talent in presenting the American Staffordshire Terrier. So please enjoy the different pictures on this page as well as the other pages and do drop me a line in my guest book...

Champion Oceanside's Silver Bullet

Hammer was the first to finish from the litter and he is soon to be followed by his brother Bam then Geronimo... Hammer is just a joy and a ham to be around. He is totally spoiled by Harry Kong and his lovely family. An interesting thing is that I told Harry at 6 weeks old that Hammer was going to be the first to finish and he sure did in style with tough competition. Thank you to judge Gay Dunlap for the finishing touches and for recognizing Hammer's correct stature...
