DOG KILLERS? - AMERICAN PITBULL TERRIER Vs AMERICAN BULLY DOG

[@SarahMatthews-wd9mq]

My Pitbull Terrier was a red nose. I rescued him from a woman when he was 18 months old. She was going to take him to the pound. I brought him home. So intelligent. I think he wasn't treated well before we got him. He was highly scared of the broom and hated people. I mean hated them. Only my family of 4 could be around him. And any animal I brought into the home he guarded. Every time I brought home baby chicks, he'd immediately sit and watch over them. Last year I brought home baby chicks and our cat walked over to look into the tote. Bruno (My dog) put his head between the cat the the chicks and gave him a "Back up right now" look. And the cat did. I trained my dog so much, unfortunately I could not get him to accept outside people. It caused him so much anxiety. To me, he behaved much like a livestock guardian. Like how you imagine a Kangal to give no craps about outsiders, and to just guard his own stuff? Like that. I could throw a piece of chicken and send him after it, and in mid chase tell him to "leave it" and he'd stop and look at me. and I'd call him away from it, treat him with a piece of chicken and then send him back out for the first piece, and he'd get to it and pause to wait and see if I'll call him off of it. He really was a wonderful dog with such an amazing temperament and personality. Bruno got sick in august 2022 and we had to say goodbye. He was 60lbs of pure unshakable Family Love, great personality, Intelligent, protective, and so so charming. We sing that song "We don't talk about Bruno..." But change some lyrics to "We won't forget about Bruno, no no..." Even now, as I think about him, I'm in tears. He's gone, but never forgotten and forever cherished.

[@catto-m]

There are other breeds much stronger or faster with bigger bite force. But it is the fact that they never let go of another dog’s throat even when they are being stabbed by that other dog’s owner that makes them what they are, the deranged serial killers of other canines.

[@pat6502-p7t]

There are plenty other breeds that are stronger. Stronger bite force. Quicker. Meaner then a real apbt. What makes the apbt shine is. No other dog is more eager to please its master and willing to die to please you. No other dog has the game. No other dog has the determination or athleticism. They say apbt have higher pain tolerance then other dogs but I don't believe it. I believe the abpt is just more determined to endure the pain to complete there task to please you.

[@dccoats5901]

I would have agreed with you until I became the owner of a trained Belgian Malinois, faster by a long shot, 3 times as athletic, and they will dance all over any pitbull. They are the Bruce Lee of dogs. But I still love my pit bulls.

[@tomdonahue4224]

So last summer, my son and I were at an Animal Shelter and were charmed by a bright-eyed, fairly calm dog, who was a bit malnourished and under exercised. After a few months of hearty food and exercise, we realized we had an American Bully Classic. His personality is 100% relaxed with family, 75% relaxed with children he doesn't know, and 100% leery of any adult he doesn't know. If an unknown adult approaches him, he will back up and give a warning bark. Once he settles in, he seems to read off my energy and accept any adult around me. Treats help. Yes, this dog sleeps a lot during the day, but is a ball of energy in the evenings.

[@rogerberry3809]

One of the problems, with pit bull terriers in particular, is that there is no margin for error. If an elderly woman is walking her Spaniel or Pomeranian or maybe miniature poodle and an APBT happens to be roaming free, it is almost 100% going to be a really bad outcome. These dogs are extremely powerful and almost always display unprovoked aggression in these sort of situations. Added to that and this is unfortunate, the overwhelming majority of owners are thuggish, moronic types with combative, warrior type personalities. Yes, there are some responsible owners that manage their APBT responsibly, but, sadly, they are very much in the minority. Ideally, local governments with the responsibility for registering ownership of dogs, should differentiate between the different breeds. Owners of dogs with the potential to do serious harm should be subject to very strict rules. The registering authority should demand very secure conditions on the property where the dog is housed. Fences and gates would need to be child proof to prevent the dog escaping and roaming unsupervised. The owners need to be vetted and anyone with a criminal record of violence or intimidation should be outright prohibited. It should be made difficult for anyone to own these dogs and impossible for thugs and criminals. Unfortunately, in this woke, politically correct world the dog licensing authority would not be allowed to discriminate against the breed of dog or the criminal owner. This allows the possibility to remain that, an elderly woman who pays her taxes and contributes to society in a positive way, will watch her beloved pet and companion killed in front of her eyes by an unsupervised APBT owned by a thuggish moron. Thugs and criminals have a natural tendency to want the toughest, most violent dogs. You don't see these types of people with the abovementioned Spaniels or Pomeranians or miniature poodles. No, they have to own the meanest, toughest, most aggressive breeds. Sure, no doubt these types of people are fully capable of loving their APBTs, but that love does not extend to anyone else or their dog. Their egos demand domination of you and your dog and so only an APBT is good enough for them.

[@vhilton40000]

Agree 100% unfortunately the damage they can do is far more than a terrier or chihuahua. My dog had is neck ripped out in a first meeting with a pit bull. I have seen pitbulks watching small children about to attack. I know they are not all bad and some causes are genetics and owners lack of training. But you can't take the risk because of how much damage they can cause do.

Unprovoked aggression? Not in my experience with my APBT. She is distrustful of new dogs, but does not attack. If a dog attacks Her, She is able to protect Herself. I see so many people with aggressive and untrained small dogs. If they attack, they will get their worst nightmare. Pits always get the blame. I don't let mine around other dogs She does not know for this reason. I have three small small terriers. She loves playing with them and is very gentle. Fantastic family dog. With that said, She does have a strong prey drive, JUST like my small Terriers. Edit, She loves people despite being abused as a puppy. No aggressive acts against people. Most affectionate dog I've ever had.

I'm thankful for this video. I'm 72, and had learned a lot about Pitties over the years but have never seen or encountered an American Bully. I've been a dog owner/lover my entire life. I've never owned a Pitbull but I've met hundreds of them. Years ago, I spent 20 years as a cop and we'd sometimes get "vicious dog" calls and when we showed up the dog was often a Pitbull. I think the fact those dogs barked a lot instead of being properly trained by their owners, along with their appearance, made people characterize them as "vicious." My whole life, dogs liked me right away, and I found that on those vicious dog calls that those dogs were actually very friendly - they had just not been properly raised to remain quiet and not to lunge at people. If they had, they wouldn't have been called vicious. I despise those who train dogs to fight. They are less than human and deserve to suffer the same fate their dogs do. The American Bully looks quite a bit different from the Pitbulls I've seen. I think by the size and muscling that there must be some Rottweiler bred into them. Perhaps I'm wrong. They are a handsome breed though and I can see where they'd make a pretty imposing sight for any burglar peering through a window or fence.

[@emilynolan187]

Nice video but in fact it is the combination of how they are raised and managed with their genetics that determines how they behave. If you raise a golden retriever and a Caucasian shepherd the same way, you still won't get dogs that behave the same. Owners need tobe aware of their breed's genetic predispositions and manage them with prevention in mind. If you have a pittie you need to socialize it very well with other dogs and be careful about putting it in situations that might trigger fighting instincts. If you have a flock guarding breed like a Caucasian you need to put tons of effort into human socialization and obedience/ manners while at the same time not expecting it to be super friendly with strangers.

Exactly. People need to stop brushing over and downplaying a breed's genetics. Socializing and raising are not the only factors to a dog's behavior and it's a dangerous mentality to have when owning certain breeds. Socialization just doesn't wipe a dog's genetics and people need to realize that.

I had never wanted an American bully as I preferred breeds like the husky or German shepherd. One day I stopped at a local pawn shop. When I entered a bell rang and an American bully walked out from behind the counter. As it walked toward me it's expression changed from "I just woke up" to "I'm glad to see you, new friend". It stopped right next to me and look up at me clearly wanting attention. I pet him for a while and carried on with my business. When I was leaving another customer walked in, the bell rang, and right on que the bully approached him the exact same way. When the dog looked up, the man offered a quick smile and carried on his way. Without any pets, and clearly disappointed, the bully hung it's head low and began it's journey back to the counter. I crossed paths with the dog on my way out, and pet him a few more times to make up for the other customer. With one last look of happiness from the bully, I left knowing I now need a husky, a German shepherd, and an American bully.

However, I have an pit bull/am staff, regardless. Someone could no longer care for him as a young puppy, and I decided to take him as my 2 other dogs were aging/aging and sick. He has been a great dog, just naturally a bit aggressive. I know his triggers and effectively control him, therefore there have been no "accidental" bites to dogs or other animals or humans. I would only recommend these dogs for experienced and responsible dog owners.

[@JB_Hobbies]

Unfortunately, some American jurisdictions do ban American bullies. It’s not a direct ban, but I have seen ban language specifically naming pit bulls then stating that dogs that sufficiently resemble pit bulls are also banned. This wording is to cover pit bull mixes and related breeds. Anyone living in a city where a pit bull ban is in effect and wanting to get an American bully should call their city and confirm that a pit bull ban does not apply to the dog they want to get.

I will defend this breed to my dying breath!!! It is all in the way the owner raises the dog. There will always be a dog that has a mental problem that makes them dangerous and you must identify them as an owner and either get him or her the training they need to break the bad habbit, or give the dog to someone who will!!!

Unfortunately, he had to put him down because when his son was about the pet him. The dog went crazy and he beat him in the eye and he has rabies even though the vet check his rabies vaccination and he was healthy, so the point is, it’s absolutely not about the bread at all. It’s about the way that you raise them because my cousin did raised him well because he didn’t train him. He didn’t give him love he was concerned he could be an awesome guard dog so unfortunately my cousins son died, but it still means that the problem is about the owner because no matter which breed did you own if you’re not raise them in the right way they can turn on you and maybe even kill you.

This continued for many years As a common activity antel the animal welfare acts made dog fighting illegal in 1975 making it a little less common. It wasn't antel 2007 that the activity became a felony wich resulted in a large decrease in the blood sport. Now the American pit bull terrier is commonly used by hunters as a catch dog for hunting hogs. With activities such as these being a huge part of the breeds history the American pit bull terrier like all dog's of a pure breed have certain traits Physically and mentally that are More common than not. American pit bull terriers are generally 45-65lb with a slim athletic Muscular build powerful jaws and a short coat. Other things scene in the breed are high energy level high prey drive high pain tallorance A eagerness to please and willingness to work with grate determination. Also some level of dog aggression is prevalent in the American pit bull terrier along with a strong hunting instinct they often don't do well with other dog's or animals. although this is not the case with people the American Pit bull terrier generally has a good and friendly disposition towards people. This was important given the dog's often needed to be handled while injured and in a large amount of pain. In which this loyal stable breed would stay calm allowing itself to be handled. Other breeds of dog's placed in this sanaeio will lashout and bite any thing that gets close enough. American pit bull terriers friendly disposition also makes them a poor choice for a guard dog they themselves have been known to be taken by thieves. False information sarounding the American pit bull terrier is rampant. People don't even know what a pit bull is. Due to the term used as a umbrella term With many pure breeds and mixes falling under the umbrella such as the American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier,American Bully, Bull terrier,American bulldog, Presa Canario,Dogo Argentino, as well as any mixes containing the mentioned breeds. Combine this with the mediaes assault on pit bulls meaning any dog that matches a broad description. Then throw in the people who are Biased towards whatever they consider to be a pit bull. At the end of all this we are left with such a distorted understanding of what a pit bull is that in now way can accurate Information be collected to produce statistics that are reliable or worthy of being credited as true. All the absurd myths and lies told by the media along with umbrella terms mislabeling breeds generating hatred for what a dog that the majority of people can't pick out of a line up. A breed that has been around for more than a hundred years with such a distorted image painted of it that it's unrecognizable.

I had a male Pitbull that was an ex fighter at 120lbs I rescued when he was 3 yrs old. I was told they couldn't get matches for him because he was a quick killer in fights and he was to be put down. Unfortunately, I was the only person who could approach him in a loving manor due to his previous treatment. He was an angel towards me . I had to isolate him from other dogs but eventually became a sweet natured beast .

[@cherylstade3614]

@@stactionsmedia3318I'm pretty sure Pitbulls will never be eradicated because when properly raised they are so wonderful and also truly unique. As a former dog walker I can say that I've never personally walked a hostile Pitbull nonetheless I concur that they are incredibly strong , agile and alert and are also very high energy dogs. They must be properly socialized, properly exercised and properly led. However these traits aren't what make them so potentially dangerous. There are 2 qualities Pitbulls have in the extreme that do make the Pitbull potentially quite dangerous. First is their unmatched desire to please their humans. Pitbulls utterly and completely adore their humans and put them on a pedestal like no other dog breed. They will do anything to please their humans. Second is their unmatched resilience. Their ability to endure pain and disappointment and even abuse and still keep going or at least bounce back is simply otherworldly. As anyone can understand these 2 traits are also what make the Pitbull so potentially wonderful. They are the quintessential dog breed whose bodies are wagged by their tails when you walk in the door. No other breed is more over-the-moon to be greeting their humans. Your Pitbull will herald your entrance as if it's a once in a lifetime magnificent event every time you walk in.

[@theoneandonly668]

[@Mark-xh9ne]

Thank you for this video! I over the years have had a Basset Hound, Labs, Mutts and Pittbulls. While some traits may be more common in certain breeds I am of the utmost belief that each dog is also an individual. I've had papered Labs that wouldn't touch water and others that I had to literally pull out of the lake or else they would have probably swim till they drown. Some of my dogs though everything and everyone was thier friend while others where guarded and aloof. Ever notice when meeting a dog on a walk how different individual dog reactions are? It amazes me how owners get embarrassed if their dog is aloof when meeting me. I simply tell the owners that I don't necessarily like everyone I meet either and just like us a dog is an individual! No apologies necessary! One trait that all of my Pits have shared is extreme loyalty. Pit bulls taugh me the importance of positive reinforcement in training. Although all three Pits have been different in personality I have found that negative reinforcement either shut them down or resulted in them being frustrated/destuctive. My Pits also taught me how to better communication with all dogs. All it takes is a look or slight hand gesture from me for them to understand what I want. I also can read dogs better because my Pits were so loyal and in "Tune" with me it helped me learn the "language" . All of my dogs have taught me unconditional love. My Pits gave/give an additional level of loyalty. It is our responsibility as dog owners to respect and nurture those traits no matter what the breed. We have no excuse for using that love and loyalty for destructive and evil purposes. A dogs love is pure.

❤ Thank you so much Animal Watch for making this comparison and for showing that although both breeds are labelled tough or dangerous they can both be very loving with the correct training and handling. We've just lost one of our three precious rescued standard American Bulldogs and I am completely in love with the breed, their cookie personality and loving empathetic nature shine through in a family environment 😊. I would gladly also rehome a pitbull were it not banned in the UK. Owners need to take more responsibility for their dogs training and behaviour in public. If you can't be bothered training yourselves and your dogs (no matter what breed) then please don't bother having them in the first place!!

[@melissagatewood4921]

I always correct people if they refer to my XL American Bully as a "Pitbull", explaining the breed to them. I bought her from a breeder, and socialized her from an early age. She is a gentle giant, and has a very balanced temperament around other dogs and people. I still find some people are somewhat off putting, when around her, but mostly that seems to be more rare now. I exercise her 1-2 hrs most days. She is my companion, and I am fortunate to be retired, and she rarely is left alone. I love the breed, such great companions!

I did get knocked over and humped by a large male (Idk the exact breed but owner referred to him as a “pit bull” so who knows). The only dog I’ve ever been attacked by (not instigated at all, I was simply sitting) was a young male german Shepard and I still love them.

[@JayP7.62]

I've had one true American pitbull terrier and I currently own a pocket American bully. Definitely a big difference between the two. Pitbull was very high driven like a border collie I used to have. My pocket bully has his moments where he gets the zoomies but he's mostly lazy. He'll stay in bed or lay on the couch with me for as long as I can. Another big difference is my pitbull was a little protective of the house when it came to strangers and noises outside. My pocket bully acts like he's every strangers best friend and gets scared of noises outside or loud noises around him, except for some reason he'll bark when he hears a car door close outside lol. Anything else and he's looking at me like, protect me daddy. It's all in the training and socializing with any dog.

I have an American Bully who was picked up as a stray. He is covered in scars and has two broken canines as well as warn down front teeth. He was likely given steroids (had high liver counts commonly seen in dogs on steroids) to bulk him up even more. He is fearful when eating and drinking water. We brought him to an animal behaviorist at a university near our home. They said food was likely used as a lure in traumatic situations. We cannot move or look at him when eating or drinking or he stops (though he's improving). They told us this dog was "brutalized." Though he is very shut down except in certain places (like my office, my husband's office and doggie daycare), he is the most gentle 90 lb boy (20 inches at the withers) I have ever met. Even brutal abuse doesn't necessarily breed aggression in the docile American Bully

[@jayman8974]

Most pitbulls I have known have been very loving, playful and friendly. All were from loving homes, raised by various friends and people I've known over the years. All however had at least one incidence of violence or aggression in the past- biting people, killing cats, attacking horses. Pitbulls kill twice as many people per year than all other breeds combined. Pitbull injuries can be horrific. Statistically someone is killed by a pitbull in America every 28 days. Since bull baiting became illegal, dogs were pitted against each other. Retrievers retrieve, heelers will nip your heels even if theyve never seen a cow. similarly pitties were bred to fight. People make the mistake of thinking they can love the violent fighting instincts out of a breed of dog bred specifically for violence. Though they are rarely vicious and generally well natured, thet can snap, even after being a perfect pet and family dog for many years and raised in ideal environments.

[@hdhdhdhddhkalon]

Exactly according to some people Retrievers retrieve bc of genetics Hunting dogs hunt because of genetics Heelers bite heels because of genetics BUT APBT are dog aggressive because of how you raise them WTF no it’s all genetics

[@rawjan39]

99% of dog attacks comes e mixed dogs mislabeled as Pit Bulls. People and the media mislabeled dogs as pit bulls since the 80s. Bull baiting was banned before the Apbt exist. Once Staff were imported to America. The Americans wanted a longer legged staff for Dogfighting. So they created the Pit Bull and Chauncey Bennett register them as the American Pit Bull Terrier in 1898

[@Dragoncam13]

I actually am surprised to read so many folks understand that some breeds are genetically predisposioned for aggressive behavior that can't be taken out of them no matter who trains them or how much socializing is done with the dog! It's a sad but true fact that needs to be taken seriously instead of being swept under the rug like everyone wants to do just because some people have met a few nice ones in the breed line! Last but definitely not least, the breed is discriminated against because they are responsible for more than 65percent of attacks on humans are from pits. In the USA that's our facts about the breed! I've been around them my entire life and experienced both types, aggressive and non,as well as broken up fights of random dogs while walking down the street! I honestly believe that these new bully's are the only way to reassimilate the reputation of the breed because most folks don't know the difference between them,which is actually going to work out well for the pit bull breed. Also we are seeing less and less of actual pitbulls around here in California. The amstaff is still big around the major cities because they are charging too much for these bully's but they're a different breed altogether.

[@Swell_Character]

Mighty fine video here. It really does represent both dogs well. One thing, though. This video has the admittedly more mainstream theory that pit bulls are a mix of terrier and bull baiting bulldog. To be honest, I do not believe anyone knows for complete certain the history nor does it really matter at the end of the day. That being said, with absolutely no disrespect to this video, there is another theory shared with two very well known and respected people within the pit bull circle that have been involved with the pit bull breed for decades and decades. Their names are Mr. Richard F. Stratton and Ms. Diane Jessup. They believe that the American pit bull is the bull baiting bulldog. This video here even says how they were used for bull baiting. There would have been no reason to add terrier to dogs that needed to have the gameness and agility to face and avoid being trampled or gored by bulls simply to use them for facing each other. A dog that would face a bull would also be able to face another dog. Since the video tells use pit bulls did both, we know that a dog can both be good at bull baiting and dog-against-dog contests. Diane Jessup has said in one of her books, "The dog called 'English bulldog' today is a show bred animal developed well AFTER baiting was banned. Dogs with the bracycephalic nose and short, wide, deformed body of the show bulldog never were typical of animals used for bullbaiting. Rather, the true bull-dog was a 40 to 65 pound dog, long of leg, with a strong, medium, working muzzle, and a long, thin tapering tail. The watercolor above is by Thomas Rowlandson [1756-1827], who sketched scenes of English life, and often drew butchers, baiters, dog fighters and their dogs. The above is entitled The Bull Bait and shows the riff raff typical of baiting sports and their bull-dogs; identical to today's American pit bull."

He is a very sweet gentle boy, who has made friends with all my neighbors and gets along very well with all the other dogs he meets. He does exhibit the beagle's wanderlust, and the stubbornness found in both the beagle and pit bull, but with gentle persistence on my part, he has become pretty much a home body who stays around my little farm and doesn't wander miles away as he did when I first got him. (here in the Smokey Mountains we let our dogs run free) Now his favorite activity is to snuggle up to me when I am sitting in my recliner, and play 45 pound lap dog !

I can honestly say thank you for this education. Every Pitt Bull I have been around were extremely loving and enthusiastic. They definitely need to be trained and exercised. Every Chow Chow ,except one, have been aggressive. I once worked at vet clinic and every time someone brought in a puppy Chow Chow the vet doctor would tell the owners that they to REALLY socialize the puppy as much as they can. I have been around of other breeds that show more aggression than the Pitt Bull. Any dog can be aggressive it just depends on the owner and how they are treated. The owner takes good care of their pet they should what things triggers their dog so they can be proactive to protect their dog and the people around them. 27:13

I trained a lot of dogs, with sometimes amazing results, sometimes fails too... But nothing comes close to an american bully when you want a caring gentle giant with attitude. They are tender, sensitive and VEEERY loyal dogs. The only way you could get in real trouble with them is if you would have bad intentions towards what they consider their clan. Better not mess with their ''family'' that's for sure. This does not make them a ''dangerous'' breed in any way. Any normal person could turn into a killer in very specific citcumstances. And that would be considered as heroic behaviour. They are like the best among us in that way. If they are part of the few real heroes left in this world, please keep them from having to constantly fight against people's ignorance and/or stupidity because of a tarnished reputation solely due to idiot breeders or ego tripped owners.

The dude in the car had his head lights off and sitting in his car at the stop sign by my house. It was just after dark and I could see from the store lights two figures running towards the store. I said Bengal watch em. He went full lit. I said Bengal get em. He took off across the field after the two dudes and the dude in the car seen it and flashed his headlights and raced over to the store while honking his horn. They had a descent head start so they were able to get into the car before my dog got them. I got there as they left and grabbed my dog while the store worker called broward county sheriff to report an attempted robbery. That same dog even made the news in miami about leash laws and it showed me and my wife walking little puppy Bengal and our other lab mix gypsy years ago. I miss that dog dearly.

He wasn't a fighting dog but he was a bullet. I knew what his genetics were and behaved responsibly. What I would give today just to have a line from the past. Boomerang was a legend down in Florida before rednoses got big. Bengals father was a rednose but his mom was a brindle. Danger zone bloodline was big down there.

Pig...in the profile picture...is probably the most affectionate animal I have ever owned. What's really great is that she is highly intelligent. She understands cause/effect and sequencing better than most 6 year old humans. She loves all animals and is relatively un-bothered by any kitty cat intruders into her yard. She is gentle with her elderly and much smaller brother (at 100lb she has 85lbs on him), even when he is being a snappy grouch. She was gifted to me from my daughter and son in law. It's ironic that the greatest person to ever grace my life is the person who brought me together with the greatest animal I have ever known.

Wow! I never knew about Pitbull before this. You said true,their behaviour are depends upon how treat them .... Awesome mam👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@BmoreEliteBullies]

The American bully is slower, has much less drive and would rather lay on the couch instead of neon outside. The problem is during the game dog era with the APBT there were guys who couldn’t get ahold of the real deal blood so they mixed dogs in order to the get Pit look and just falsely claimed it was a pit so then every dog that looked similar to the APBT was called a pit when in all actuality it wasn’t. The reason the American bully isn’t labeled a mutt like the staffy and other “pit” looking dogs is because it was bred over decades for a specific reason which was to be damn near docile and be great with children and in shows with a bit a of tenacity in them to be able to defend if absolutely necessary. If you are a boar hunting guy I advise you to get a REAL American Pitbull Terrier but if you are a regular person with a smaller frame you should get the pocket to standard bully and if you are a larger person who’s just looking for a good dog to love and be loved you should go for the classic up to XL bully and you’ll never have a problem. Rule is don’t get too much dog if you can’t control that dog there’s nothing wrong with getting a dog that fits your lifestyle I hope this helps in the decision making in the future. BTW if you’re looking for a pocket bully I’m your guy!

The pit bull didn’t come to America. The Staff Bull terrier were dogs that were imported to America. The Staff Bull terrier helped created the Apbt. The Americans wanted a longer legged staff for Dogfighting. So they created the Pit Bull. Chauncey Bennett register them as the Apbt in 1898

[@joesredinferno1801]

Wrong dude the American pitbull is not a new breed from the dogs that came over to America how ever the English staff is a product of show breeding selected to represent one of Staffordshire's best known fighter think his name was Buster, if you look at the Irish staff of today they look more similar to the red boy dogs since the red boy dogs are more heavily bred on the irish lines going back in history, in turn are more pure bulldog than the lines from Staffordshire( England) who tend to be slightly more terrier although the terrier influence is very minute since the terriers used were mostly bulldog already and some terrier breeders of that time would use terriers that have like 75% bulldog blood for gameness and bravery to go to ground and also don't get confused about Bulldogs cause the English bull dog was only bred way after bull baiting was outlawed in 1835 basically there was no use for the true bulldog(pit bulldog) and with the gold rush in USA people were taking there dogs with them leaving only a hand full of true Bulldogs that were already limited owned by gamblers(dogman) and farmers and after 1835 seeing a bulldog in Ireland or England was a rare sight so a few fanciers of the time decided to create there own bulldog used some pug blood in them that's how the bracephiliac face and screw tail emerged. If you look at the Elano Espanyol, Ça de bou or even pitbulls that are about 35kg (70lbs +- ) you should have a dog that represents a bulldog in its truest form nothing else got it! Just remember dogs were bred for purpose and named after that purpose. Just also remember that an English bull terrier is in fact a pit bull x with a white terrier with some dalmatian blood thrown in.

Finally a truthful and non sensational video on the Pitbull Terrier. And with some familiar dogs to me too :-).

It would be a shame to either lose this fantastic breed or have it turned into couch potatoes without the old traits, just because people don't know how to handle them. Banning them isn't the answer, I know of pure blood Pitbull Terriers in the UK, despite the ban.

I almost agree with you, but pit bulls are inherently more vicious than other dogs if trained right. That's why whenever I see one I do my best to avoid it. When I lived in Manhattan in the 1980's coming down 9th Avenue going home in a taxi I would see gangs with pit bulls on leashes being trained to attack. A few times I saw pit bulls let lose to actually attack people in the street. That was a tough time there.

@@carsoncolemanbm4 I appreciate your considerate and civil response. But I did say, "pit bulls are inherently more vicious than other dogs if trained right." Inherent refers to both physical and mental abilities. So, while mentality may be debatable, certainly physical ability is not. Pit bulls are absolutely much more powerful than other dogs and are extremely more dangerous if trained that way. ~~~~~ When this video came out I searched for pit bull statistics and attacks and found by far that pit bulls were involved in the highest number of deaths and injuries not only by those aggressively trained but by friendly, family dogs their owners swore were docile pets. Also, there are dozens and dozens of firsthand videos showing these attacks, enough to make the point that pit bull aggression is much more prevalent than in other breeds regardless of training. ~~~~~ Thanks for reading this, and I guess this is a polarized issue much like so many other issues today.

[@angelah.3402]

I wanted a pitbull for years. I think they are beautiful. I know all of them are not bad dogs. I know most of it has to do with how they are raised. I've just been recently looking into getting a family dog. My first choice was a pitbull...of course. So I just started doing research. I couldnt ignore the rate of fatal pitbull attacks. There are so many fatal & near fatal pitbull attacks, and a lot of them the owner says "he/she was always a sweet dog then she/he just snapped". Now I know it's highly likely that owner just didnt see the signs. I know it's possible there actually were none. But I came to the decision to not get one because I have a 9 year old and 16 year old, and I cant take the chance. They are such powerful dogs, so when they do bite they do a lot of damage. And the rate of pitbull attacks is very high. Too high to be ignored. I think there is something there. I wish there would be some research done to figure out why there is such a high number. My brother had 2 pitbulls. The female lived until she was 13, and the male 14. If I could have a clone of her, I would. I LOVED that dog so much. I loved both, but she was special. The most AMAZING and smartest dog I've ever known. There are so many stories i could share of how amazing she was. Before her, I didnt know dogs could be so amazing. She was very scary looking. She looked like she would tear u to bits just for looking at her wrong. She was 75lbs of pure muscle, white & tan, with sky blue eyes, they were almost white. She was a beast. But so gentle with kids, and didnt have a mean bone in her body. The male was kinda a big dummy. He was very hyper, and would lick all the kids in our family so hard he would knock them over. He was an asshole. We all joked that he acted just like my brother. An arrogant asshole!

I love the American Pit bull terrier and I can also give you a whole list of reasons why the majority of people shouldn't own a American pit bull terrier. American pit bull terriers are a pure breed of working dog that have been registered with the ADBA since around 1909. They are also registered with the BFKC and SDR and UKC. With the ADBA BFKC and SDR being the most respected. UKC has lost alot of respect within the APBT community because of the number of American Staffordshire Terriers and mixed dog's that are registered as American pit bull terriers the. UKC has a large number of pitterstaff Also the breed standards set by the UKC. For the American Pit bull terrier is better suited for the American Staffordshire Terrier. People that Have dog's registered with the other registeries won't breed their dog's with those that are UKC registered. Often referred to as the Gamebred American pit bull terrier which is what you will see registered with the ADBA BFKC and SDR. Purebred American pit bull terriers. Before the breed was known as the American pit bull terrier. They were used for bull and bear baiting that became illegal in 1835. Then the breed became the preferred choice for dog fighting and ended up registered as American pit bull terrier by the ADBA. Anyway we'll just say from 1909 all the way antel dog fighting was made illegal in 1975 the American pit bull terrier had been selectively bred for success in the pit/box. Dog fighting has played a huge part in the development of the breed dispite what anyone says the American pit bull terrier was bred for dog fighting throughout the majority of the breeds history. By dog fighter's selecting the dog's that did the best in fights as the dog's that they would breed. Selectively breeding fighting dog's for more than 75 years which was how the breed was bred antel 2007 when dog fighting became a felony that is when it became where it wasn't worth it for breeders to test dog's in the pit before choosing them to breed. As with all purebred breeds there's a consistency that is expected with the physical appearance of the breed And the mentality of how the breed should act. With the American Pit bull terrier. We should expect a medium sized dog between 45lb-60lb some can be heavier but that is not the average. Short coat in all colors except Merle although alot of people in the APBT community agree that blue is not a color produced by the American pit bull terrier. A slim Muscular athletic build. A scissor bite long tail ears natural or cropped. American pit bull terriers are a high energy level dog that has a high prey drive determined and intelligent they should have a good disposition towards people. This part is important SOME LEVEL OF DOG AGGRESSION IS EXPECTED.

Real APBT are animal aggressive. Even raised with love and effection. One must be very carefull. I would never allow my APBT to be off leash around Other dogs. And let me add this, added on 7-13-2021. Just because a dog or Apbt is animal agressive or has high prey drive doesnt mean that the dog is agressive towards dogs for no reason. I took mine to the dog walk/park on leash of course and he met lots of dogs and didnt have no issues, he is very confident, high prey drive and no problems. I would never let him run loose because that a problem waiting to happen and besides that he plays really rough. Actually he did get jealous when another dog wanted to say hi to me. My dog pushed him out of the way and growled but didnt attack. So agressive dog even pitbull does not mean attack everything that moves and it does not mean lack of judgement on the dogs part. I still wouldnt let a working Apbt loose because the dog would probably get into trouble. Mine definitely would.

In fact, the coat colors exhibited in those dogs are of mastiff breeds such as the Corso, Rottweiler (tri coat), Catahoula bulldog and the Alapaha blue blood bulldog (merle) that was crossed with the Am. Staff/apbt crosses back in the mid 90', except for the Alapaha bulldog, which is the more recent cross added to the XL Am. Bully and what we're seeing a lot of in present.

Of course owners make a difference but its like saying a gun is only dangerous in the wrong hands. It's safer just to prohibit guns in the first place due to the power of them. Same with pitbulls - they are especially strong, compact in size, very prone to dog aggression and also very hard to break up once they start fighting. They are just on another level and fight with a different energy compared to other breeds - even big and strong ones like german shepherds, mastiffs etc. There is no reason why anyone needs a pitbull - your needs can be met with a different breed. And as for the photo - yes it's unpleasant but these dogs were euthanised humanely - are you a meat eater?
