I have a am staff and he's the best dog I've ever had. I got him after coming back from deployment as a pup and he's great with my daughters and other dog and kids. I myself agree that they are great dogs indeed

Beautiful dogs!!! Was really happy that the couple rehoming the AMSTAFF gave her to us.❤😊❤😊❤😊She's so sweet, always happy and just wants to LOVE. We love her so much! Best breed ever to me.

[@ashleydobbs6355]

I rescued my amstaff she went through some hard times before i got her. With some training and love she has blossomed. She is hands down the best dog i ever owned. I hate the reputation they have gotten and when we go out we get some people who turn up their nose or make comments. But i just look at her and smile with joy that they have no idea what their missing

[@teamnononsense933]

It's good that people learn the difference between the bully breeds because everything isn't a pit/pit bull/American pit bull terrier. so videos like this is great .because every bully breed has its own standard and temperament.

[@jas6853]

Steven Burgess staffies are still pit bulls

[@Kelsie154]

Jas No they're not. Staffies are a completely different breed. AmStaffs however, are genetically identical to American Pit Bull Terriers. They're just the AKC version, bred to have no/less dog aggression, and calmer temperaments.

[@oddp61]

Kelsie LeCrone some will argue the amstaff and apbt are no longer the same breed since they have been generally bred separately for over 65 years. Apbt are working dogs and most staffs aren’t.

[@louiscyfer6944]

kelsie, amstaff and apbt are not genetically identical. they are both pit bulls though. pit bull is a collective term, apbt is a breed.

[@Ashley-nope]

Beautiful dogs! I have a male Amstaff around 85-90 pounds named Apollo and he's like the best! You were right about these dogs cheering you up because Apollo won't give you a chance to be sad he's always happy and loves the kids too! People ask me am I worried about Apollo around my kids and I tell them I'm more worried about people around my kids. Much respect to you.

i just got a amstaff from a well known breeder in Portugal. I can tell this is not a dog for everyone because of their power to do good and bad things, in wrong hands this can become a huge problem for the dog because we all know how it ends. From someone that understand how to raise dog, i must say im impressed with how fast they learn and how "good boys" they are.

[@Delightful_Addition]

I think that the title could benefit from being redone. I think it should read "American Staffordshire - the Show Pit Bull". Using the term "civilized" almost makes it sound as if the American Pit Bull is a savage breed with a bad temperament when that could not be further from the truth. I know that the uploader knows the American Pit Bull is a great breed and did not mean it like that, but using the term "civilized" here could send the wrong message to viewers. The American Pit Bull is a quite noble breed which retained its status as a working dog (farming, hunting, baiting, and fighting purposes mainly which are the things they were created for) and is responsible for the American Staffordshire being all that it is as far as temperament, personality, and, to an extent, ability. Actually, most of what I am hearing (aside from some of the medical conditions) are very similar to the American Pit Bull. Also, she said "temperament first and health second." I must strongly disagree with this. I understand that the American Staffordshire is more of show/conformation breed and that health would be less of (still important but not more so) a factor as it would be for the working American Pit Bull breed, but I believe that health should come before anything else. Truthfully I don't think that anyone should try and put a number on health and temperament. They should both be extremely important and equally important (one should not be sacrificed for the other or prized over the other). However, if someone does try to put those by terms of importance, I would imagine that, for most, it would be health first and then temperament. No matter what, a dog needs to be healthy. Temperament doesn't do much good if the dog is not physically stable enough to do its job, fill its role, or live a full life. That is one reason for some of the problems that can occur in some breeds. People are not paying much attention to or putting importance in health. In many of these cases, health takes a backseat to other much less important things such as looks, size, etc.

+Jeff Cares Cool post you made, in fact I just finished making the same comment that this title should have been called 'AST the show pit bull' on my own post before seeing yours.

[@Delightful_Addition]

buba2isatosa Many, including the uploader and the breeder being interviewed in this video, say they are separate breeds. But it is a debatable and controversial topic with both sides giving valid arguments. With the American Pit Bull and the American Staffordshire Terrier, it seems to be more about the point of view of the person you ask.

[@buba2isatosa]

+Jeff Cares The only way they are seperate is from outside breeds being introduced. If they were bred to the set standard they would be identical! 80 years is not enough time to create a new breed period! Working and show Neo's look nothing like eachother and have been bred that way 3 times as long as AST many other breeds have show and working lines but you don't see them changing names!

[@willh.2510]

Hey Lydia, I know your vid is a couple of years old, but I had to send you a note in thanks for your video. Because of you, I went ahead and did a rescue on an Am Staff that was within 2 weeks of a death sentence. He is 3 y/o Blue w/hazel eyes, and he is absolutely the best!!! His temperament is everything you said this breed is. My Queensland Heeler just passed and I wanted a breed that is just as or close to as loyal as the heeler, but I wanted something a little more protective of my property, and most importantly something that doesn't shed like a heeler. I have been blessed to find a beautiful male that I named Lando, and he has already been truly amazing. Thank you again for your vid, and I look forward to learning more from you and possibly introducing you to my new kid!!!

Monday I am going to start fostering an Am Satff, that I hope turns into becoming my dog. She was dropped off at the shelter very scared of humans. It's easy to see she was abused and not socialized. I'm really hoping she will accept me and want to stay with me.

I got one about six months ago that was left in an abandoned apartment. He too is scared of humans and most other things. He was 46 lbs when we got him and now he is at 78 lbs.

We got ours from a "no kill" shelter. She initially would flinch when we tried to pet her on the head ( evidence of abuse) Now a year later, she has learned trust again. One thing I have noticed is how easy to train she is. SCRAT ( her name) wants to please. Once she understood what we wanted her to do ( sit, stay, come fetch etc etc) she would do it just for a " good girl" and a scratch behind the ears.

[@maciefergal1675]

Ear cropping is cruel. I have yet to hear of a dog being euthanized because he has floppy ears. Cropping and docking are cosmetic procedures, plain and simple. Crops and docks are illegal throughout much of Europe because it is considered cruel to cut off a dogs body parts to please our idea of what is “beautiful.” Elective surgery for dogs: It may sound odd, but it’s exactly what some purebreds undergo shortly after birth. Cropping -- cutting off the floppy part of a dog’s ear -- is usually performed on anesthetized dogs between 6 and 12 weeks old. The ears are then taped to a hard surface for several weeks while they heal so they stay upright. The American Kennel Club (AKC) says the practices are “integral to defining and preserving breed character” in certain breeds. But the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) opposes docking and cropping. The most common reason for cropping and docking is to give a dog a certain look. That means it poses unnecessary risks. I am against the practice of docking tails and cropping ears, and I am not alone.

[@kyraandfriends146]

Macie Fergal What is your opinion on a working dog having their tail docked or ears cropped? For example, a dog who is out herding large animals? Or a dog who is out hunting? I have mixed views on many things and am simply wondering what your opinion is on that subject.

Timeless Vick amstaff is more terretorial than apbt if its not socialized well then u will have this problem i have an amstaff and she is very freindly and lovable for both animals and people

[@giovannymelendez8004]

Timeless Vick you didnt raise him right cause my amstaff sees a dog and wants to play , hes also been attacked multiple times from dogs people assume are gentle , its all about how you raise your dog

[@ban401]

Kenny Thomas hahahaha what the FUCK!

[@ban401]

Kenny Thomas Im sure this guy is smart enough to know the pedigree of the dog! Lol who wouldn't want to know the dog's parents/ancestors while buying em? Edit: And dont be racist about em! Dont be racist to dogs if other are racist to you because of you being black!

[@bambam23406]

I own amstaffs and breed and have given away a few to people I knew would show or get into breeding them and knew they would take great care of them and the breed

[@daddyeyez740]

I don't like this title, the civilized pit bull.

[@GuerreroDelInfo]

In comparison to the apbt

[@darinjohnson9375]

Beautiful dogs.

[@yvonneost12]

The woman next door has a american staffy it has'nt been out of her yard since she got it ( over a yr ago ) I had a talk to her about it and said she need to at least take the dog for a walk , and she said she cant walk him as he pulls on her arm too much and hurts her.I said maybe she would be better off re homing the dog where he has a better quality of life ? she said no , no I love him , and I said you can't even handle a dog like that and she has 3 young kids , one of which is scared of him as he knocks him over .she said the dog actually belongs to her eldest son ( he's about 14 ) no dog knowledge what so ever , and he cant walk him either . I said the dog cries for attention when they are out the front and he is locked in the back yard I said tell your son I will report him if he does'nt start to care for the dog and she went off her nut LOL oh your going to report me for not walking my dog , blah blah , I have a bad back and walk and train with my german shepherd daily even if it is a short walk but I keep the dog busy . the next night I saw the kaos out front as she was trying to walk her dog while one of her kids was up the street chasing her other dog ( a shitzu ) that had bolted ,she had a harness on the staffy which clearly had no effect on where the dog wanted to go LOL when she returned from the walk i went to speak to her and while stood there the dog took off to her front door and burnt her hand and the lead as she was'nt expecting it to do that , if that dog had took off after a little kid witha little dog he would have knocked the kid over into the concrete. I never seems to amaze me how people get dogs they cannot handle and have no intention of learning how to , this dog is only 14 months now , give it another yr and he will be a dangerous dog as she can't even hold onto him now I just hope I'm not in the street with my dog when it happens as I've not long had a hip replacement I shudder to thnk what is going to happen in the future with this dog of hers.

Don't forget women get emotional :D

[@herbset804]

yvonneost12 That's a case of animal abuse, you should let the authorities know bro

[@skillful101]

yvonneost12 call the animal police dude

[@giovannymelendez8004]

yvonneost12 save that dog please these dogs arent for everyone but i got mine when i was just 16 and he went everywhere with me and people called him my shadow cause you wouldnt even notice he was with me i cant imagine how much that dog hates his life being with irresponsible owners

[@Lucas-zb2wg]

I have neighbour that has a german Shephard, although he never walks him outside and he is the happiest dog ever

[@iamalpharius9483]

Thank you for NOT making it about money and BS prestige. The breeding of most dogs has been turned into a cesspool by industry. I have Catahoulas and they are very hearty. I want an AmStaff one day. Great dogs.

[@jeevan020289]

Start by not clipping thier ears for physical attribute!!!

[@drebodollaz3504]

Shut up crybaby

[@65pishta]

I've now got a amstaff pup , a lot more full on than Rotty pups,but she's a fast learner and a great looking girl.no cropping needed on this breed.

[@CaribbeanPhotoGuy]

Look for some more rottie content

[@danielaltrui9015]

I think rottie's are a much better breed. No offense to all the amstaff ppl.

[@flowergirl4903]

I am about to rescue an American Staffordshire Terrier Mix tomorrow. She is lovely, sweet, non aggressive 1.5 year old and she got along nicely with my Basenji Terrier Mix in the play yard. After all the research however, I'm a little nervous about this dog. I do not understand the difference between a pit bull and this dog - I have read everything but still unsure of the reality. My Basenji likes to growl and play loudly with her mouth and tug of war with her toys - is this going to cause problems with the rescue Staffordshire? I just love her personality but worry that my energetic but very sweet and loving Basenji will bring out the worst? I also just learned I need to have her tested for this brain issue - what is that again and how bad is it? Does the dog need to be put down, does it go crazy? Again, not sure what my next step should be. Thanks for any help and insight.

[@AnimalEmancipation]

Wtf are you talking about? Play growls do not provoke dog aggression in socialized dogs. But I see you wrote this BS a long time ago... Wonder what happened to your dog.

[@baubau9970]

I've got DNA on my amstaff 100% ,67 lbs,13years better looking than this.never had puppies, to many of this breeds in shelters...unfortunately

[@victorperry4042]

Lovely dogs. Thanks for sharing.

[@bareknucklehogdogs]

Should be called... American Staffordshire Terriers- NOT a Pit Bull. as they are different breeds...

[@bambam23406]

Bareknuckle Hog Dogs pit bull is not a breed so you are incorrect there are Apbt ,am-staffs,Staffordshire bull terrier , and American bullys which are thrown in that group name along with some bull dogs and even some mastiffs like the presa but the amstaffs is the closest relative to the Apbt out of them they just breed the size into them with less gameness

[@AnakinGroundcrawler]

You should do a little research. They are, in fact, pit bulls.

[@ragamuffinhooligan4019]

Bareknuckle Hog Dogs...same facting dog - pitbull/amstaff!

[@blueflare3848]

I’ve been going back and forth between getting an Amstaff or an American pit bull terrier for my first bully breed. Both are great dogs in their own right.

[@louiscyfer6944]

this woman does not love dogs. don't ever buy a dog. adopt.

[@theborkinator4513]

Great breed. My parents had a male named Benjamin (Benson and Benny were nicknames of his) when I was a kid and he was such a great dog. Friendly yet protective over his family. Absolutely refused to sleep alone and we would often find that he'd crawl into our other dogs bed for a snuggle. He was around for a good 17/18 years and was pretty lucky with his hips and joints. Though sadly he was diagnosed with a tumor in his brain and at his old age decided it was best to have him humanely put down.

[@954MrSayre]

stop cropping their ears

[@CSquared360]

Beautiful dog! Love it.

[@pitman2911]

DO NOT CALL THEM PITBULLS PLEASE.... COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BREED ..

[@tenspretty]

thank you.

[@kemp8441]

Am Staff is one of several breeds commonly known as Pit bulls, Pit bull is a category or term that describes several 'bully' dogs breeds. American pit bull terrier are also in this category of course.

[@pitman2911]

Lkempo dead wrong

[@MultiSilversalmon]

pit man Dead right. American Staffordshire Terrier is absolutely part of the pit bull family classification. The head shape and muscular body is clearly in the same class. It's so easy to spot a pit bull type dog classification based on its head shape.

[@pitman2911]

MultiSilversalmon Bullies, Amstaff have evolved from the true AMERICAN PITBULL TERRIER, but should never be called a pitbull .APBT is a different breed .The gaint pitbull they call Hulk is crossed between a French mastiff x pitbull they call it pitbull. Thats wrong .like the Master Of All Bulldogs said in his Videos you cant cross a zeedra with a horse and call it a horse

[@nicolemunoz579]

Im considering adopting a male American Staffordshire Terrier Mix at our local shelter he's a 2years old he's soooo adorable. But i do have two kids 9 and 4 so iam on here looking for some tips on these types of dogs. I have had a small Maltese but he died 10 years ago so now i would totally look into a male active dog that i can go on walks with and give him all the love he deserves.thanks for sharing this video

[@richardwaddell6037]

Absolutely beautiful dogs. Thanks for the info and sharing

[@tvwatcher90]
