8:46 i’ve had Pitbulls and Staffy bull terriers practically all my life. I started with the American Staffordshire terrier that my son brought home that nobody wanted. She was a brindle, and then my son’s girlfriend got a gray pitbull, and when they no longer could keep the dogs I adopted them. As the years went by I kept adopting the Pitbulls. I’ve had them for many years, and I’m always so sad when they die. They made me so happy to have them part of the family. They were wonderful loving family dogs, so as I got older and I became unable to walk anymore, I bought a golf cart and my recent staffy bullterrier runs beside it as I drive. He is so happy and lovable, he wants me to do this every single day and I if the weather is good we will go. They are the best breed of dog I have ever wanted. My recent staffy’s name is Jax. ❤

I’ve also just adopted a handsome blue staffy aged 3yrs….it was my partners sons…he got the dog when he was with his ex…and now there separated and also he has just got a job working away…I’ve adopted him 😃👍…he is called blue…and he is a blue breed staffy….we go out walking 5 nights a week and 2 nights a week I take him out running beside me on my bike …he is like having a hyper active child 😂…I love him to bits

When I was 8, I found 3 abandoned stafffy puppies in the alley. I took them home, and they all grew up to be beautiful and strong. We kept the boy and rehomed the two females to family. The Boy was named Chulo and he was an absolutely monster. He was so muscular and had stamina for days. He used to pull me on rollerblades for hours. He onced faught two loose dogs that ran at me when we were on one of our walks. He did not let them get close to me and absolutely destroyed the other two dogs. One was a Rottweiler and the other was some sort of Shepherd mix. He died at around 12 from health issues.

[@jezebulls]

OMG!! Thanks for this, so many of my fellow Americans hate it when I say English Staffy because they think it’s the exact same as a Pitbull.

[@JWildberry]

The problem is that "pitbull" seems to mean 2 things in America. It can mean "American Pitbull Terriers," but that's usually only among dog enthusiasts. The second meaning is "pitbull-type," which means all dogs of a certain appearance. I'm betting less than 1% of America's "pitbulls" are registered Pitbulls, but the second meaning has taken hold. I'm glad you're educating your friends, because dogs keep dying due to the "pitbull-type" use of the word. Imagine if all the so-called pitbulls in shelters were just labeled as mixes or cross-breeds, instead of an age-old scareword that has been hyped up by the media for decades.

[@brianrich7828]

Easy misconception. And a common one. In America they are still to be considered pitbull breed due to AKC registration. But we've had both breeds and cam easily tell the difference. Wonderful breeds altogether.

[@mentalmatt1066]

@@JWildberry They are both strong bloodlines..from the Original Pitbull from England.( the Bull and Terrier ..Old English Bulldog ).the Staffordshire Bull terrier...the Term Bull refers to Bull baiting...( you put a dog in the Pit to bait the bull Hence Pit Bull) Both have baiting qualities..strong necks ..jump high onto a rope ..shake ect. Unfortunately Pit Bull is a type of dog..thats just History..and the US hate the blanket term..as a lot get mistaken for Ampt.

[@homestylehaven545]

Thank you so much for all you are doing to educate us! I"ve had what I thought where pitbulls for my companions for many years to now question whether they may have been staffordshire terriers or pitbulls? I guess it doesn't really matter since everyone that I've come in contact with has become the love of my life! They truly are fantastic family loving companions. I think my pup who is soon to be brought home is close to 70 lbs is probably more in the pitbull range. Your videos are helping me to know what I may be up against, since I've been told he needs some guidance and direction to put it mildly! LOL

[@thatoneannoyingtornadosire8755]

Thank you! I came to this video to learn more about the differences between both breeds and actually got that information from an actual person and not a robot voice saying the obvious over and over. It's also pleasant to hear someone talk about american bulls without just calling them killing machines and talking about the ACTUAL problem of bad owners. Every dog is wonderful and different in its own way. And people need to learn how to accommodate their dog with training instead of just buying it and just staring at it all day.

[@crustydownunder]

I've breed pitbulls and staffies. I adored my Pitbulls, but they need way more attention. If you take them out in public, you must always be aware of what your dog is looking at. I never had a bad experience with the pitbulls, but that's because i was always on my guard. And I spent lots of time training them. Staffies have become my favorite, by far. I have property, but I can leave them outside all day and they never go past the boundaries. We have hundreds of sheep, on the otherside of the fence, but they never bother with them. We have several horse on the other side, but again, the staffies aren't phased, and simply socialize with the horses. Going up to the fence to say hello. Staffies will eagerly play all day, or, just lay about in the sun, or the shade. They are great with my grandkids, and put up with anything. My oldest dog (whom I've spent 12 years with is the smartest dog I've ever seen). He follows a dozen hand signals, and knows hundreds of words and commands. I've also breed blue and red healers, of which I had some very smart dogs, but no smarter than the staffie. The difference is the healers would bite my kids when they were toddlers. I much prefer the trusted staffie.

[@josephandreuccetti3706]

Awesome.

[@testobooster3985]

Its funny how I got my Staffordshire bull terrier around the time you made this yt account :) Id be happy to see another video of how to stop him pulling with less theory and more practice tips

[@1998TDM]

I've had Pitbulls and Staffies, not a lot between them. Choke chains, back in the day (sorry), halties and harnesses had little effect in stopping them pulling. Sooo, back to basics. The leash is a command, dog sits at your side, leash is attached while the dog stays in position and the step forward is the visual command to walk at heel backed up with the verbal command. When (if) the dog is walking at heel I let the slack leash touch the shoulder, it reinforces the correct position. To get to this point I bore the dog into obedience. When it loads the leash up I give a soft verbal rebuke and gentle tug on the leash. Inevitably that fails so it's back to sit and heel. When the dog ignores the rebuke it's sit, stay, heel. Rinse repeat. A short walk can last a long time but I've managed to get every dog to heel on a slack leash with this slow and patient method. A pocket full of high value treats helps a lot if you walk a measured distance and reward the heel at the end.

I love Staffys! I rescued one and he's the best! Easy to train once you establish trust and provide for their needs. We are best buds and have been from the start. All I did was offer to play with him and we did for less than an hour. Took him home and after a short period of checking out his new home nestled up to me and went to sleep. Now I don't know what I would do without him. He's very attentive and eager to please has a moderate prey drive and has helped with some vermin on the farm. His favorite prey are Pheasant and Partridge which he has yet to catch not for lack of trying, it's so interesting to watch him stock the birds. I think he would make a great hunting dog but most of all he's great companion.

She will walk to the house next to ours and put on her breaks and there is no moving her farther without dragging her.

I find that I can't disagree with anything you said. I will say that I have had substantial interaction with countless pits and staffies.

I adopted a 5 month old part female Lab (80%) and part Staffy (20%) that just turned 8 months old. However she is much more Staffy in appearance. My other dog is a 3 year old male part Australian Cattle dog and Brittany Spaniel that looks just like a Dingo except the ears are down. Touching to see how much they like each other. They play off and on all day in the house and back yard. I am retired so take them for a couple walks a day that adds up to 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day. It’s crazy how strong she is and seems not to care if she tumbles down the stairs or off the couch. She is still young and does not know her strength. The male dog on occasion is like a bowling pin when the “tank” runs into him. Funny but concerning. He lets her know when he’s had enough. Her lab genetics makes her a powerful swimmer when I go to the lake. Came back from a week by a lake where she swam about 3 hours a day. She likes to put her head under the water. Is this a Staffy trait too?

I have a 12yo Staffordshire. I adopted her from a friend who couldn’t keep her. She’s been a fantastic dog and it’ll be a long time before I get another pet after she passes because of how irreplaceable she is. Also it’s good her fur doesn’t accumulate too much dirt because she absolutely hates taking baths. 😂

[@martinpike803]

Sad to say they are banned in my city it sucks that bad owners cause discrimination against the breed

[@kiaharper7172]

My 7 month old is a staffy German shep mix 😐....help 😬 We found her on the streets barely able to walk. She LOVES to spoon though

[@helgaheyck2707]

I have a "pit-mix" from a shelter (at age 6); a continuing challenge; loving, but unpredictable

[@LondonGooner]

They are the same breed they come from the same stock but its like breeding the taller ones together and the shorter ones together. They both show no signs of quit they will keep going and going until they are literally exhausted and pass out. They are the best dogs in the world they love their owner like no other.

I love my englisch staffie! She wil be 10 years in november

[@Jiyuu06]

An irony that they wanted ferocious fight dogs but pitbulls overall I find to be one of the gentlest among the breeds 💖

[@dominicshaw4140]

I had a brindle cross, bitch, built like a tank, loving, gentle and loyal, lived to 16 years old, wonderful dog.

[@flyingbassett4332]

Geez I don't kmow if I have a Staffie an AmStaff an American Bully or Bull Staff. One has a slightly longer muzzle is eternally patient, loves and recoginzies smaller weaker critters, and is super energentic, loves to run, and exercise. The other is more snub muzzled, a born leader, and makes sure the other one knows its place. However, has no where near the prey drive, or exercise needs of the other. Both are extremtly loyal and affectionate. Any ideas out there, KZbin land? I adore them both.

[@rolandmorgulis3727]

I adopted my sbt from dog when he was 18 months, but I am not sure that he is a staffy as he is taller and weight 28kgs

I have a Pit bull since he was 2 Years old things for him to chew on were bought immediately he understood what's his and what's not I've never had him chew as much shoe because he's always had his own if I ask him where's his toy he brings me a rope or pull ring not a stuffy because they belong to the kids you can even leave a plate of food around him he won't touch it I say all of this to say pit bulls are highly intelligent and will learn if you are consistent with training

I'm still confused I was told my dog was a staffie mix but he weighs about 70 lbs. I read somewhere that pitbulls are that size and staffies are actually no more than 40.

[@annazilkova2918]

I will like to ask, if is usuall for staffys to ignore treats outside at walk. My two staffys totally dont care about food, when they are outside. But branch....thats for them the most important, they ignore everything when I have an branch in my hand. Love to run after it, pulling it, destroying it 🙈

[@willathertonstaffyshow6068]

Thanks for watching! It's not abnormal at all, each dog is different. What you need to do is figure out what they value most and use that. Sometimes dogs loves toys more or verbal praise or physical praise 😊

[@RuthLopez-tn3uv]

I was at the dog park & my staffy/Am pit bull mix was bouncing across the park and someone asked me what breed she is. I said, "She's part Kangaroo". "Oh, wow!", he said. "That's so cool!" I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth, lol. She bounces like she's built on springs!

[@Mega07]

During the "Great Depression of the 1930's" the American Kennel Club added American Pit Bull Terriers to their registry under the name ofStaffordshire Terrier.... With that being said they're both the same breed except the "Staffordshire terrier" is bred slightly different under the AKC standard

[@davidroush4996]

My Pittie is very sensitve. I tell him I am dissappointed in him when he acts out he looks heart broken and hangs his head.after a few minutes I hug him and tell him I love him. Thor was slightly hard to train. I used some of your training methods to train him plus studying the breed. Thor is great around children and people he has never met. He goes to stores and meets people twice a week. IHe gets very excited at ( am thursdays and sundays which are His days to go to town. I love my pittie Super smart and loving.

[@vespass225]

Very nice and informative indeed. One thing remains utterly confusing for me though. In America they distinguish between english Staffordshire bull terrier, american Staffordshire bull terrier and american pit bull terrier. And then the american bully of course. Two more pit-bull type dogs to try to recognize than what you described. Can you shed some light to this?

[@kozakmagda1]

My staffy is 5 months old its suoer cute too

[@wildernessman760]

3:50 i don't know how accurate this info is. my male Staffordshire bull terrier is 48 cm or 19 in.tall at the shoulder and weighs 23.5 kg or 52 lbs.. and hes still filling out. he is not fat he is not over fed. he is very muscular. he is also 100% pure bread.

[@danyarwood1432]

I agree with most of what you said, except that staffies are better with kids. I live with an English staffy but used to breed game bred pit bulls, and I can tell you there is nothing more perfect than a game bred pit bull!!

[@thebee8415]

I recently adopted what seems to be a cross between a Lab and a Staffy. My husband says if it turns out to be a cross of a pit bull he’s getting rid of it. I love her so much. What’s the best way to know for sure what breed we have? So we can put this matter to rest.

[@curtisfranzen986]

My Wife, Kathie and I recently adopted a "Pit Bull" from our daughter, Liz. Her name is Cookie. She is 18" at the shoulder, and weighs 70+ lbs. When I say rescued, I truly mean it. Liz literally found Cookie on the streets of Tulsa. Pregnant, starving, and and dehydrated. Thankfully, Liz volunteers at a No Kill Shelter, and took Cookie there immediately. Of course, we all know that no one is going to adopt a 70+ pound "Pit", I get the "Daddy Please!!" call. Liz adopted Cookie. Gives birth to 7 puppies, all of which were adopted to forever homes. Liz personally oversaw this process. How do I end up with Cookie? Due to "reasons", Liz had to move. Her new place had breed restrictions. So now I have a 70+ pound "Pit" living in my home. Now I had to do research. Liz's vet said Cookie is a Pit/Lab cross. Cookie has NO Lab traits. She has ALOT of Amstaff traits. I mean like the definition of an Amstaff. This wonderful dog cuddles with Kathie, gently plays with our grandson, cuddles with me, and does still give the "Eyes locked" gaze at a potential threat. Cookie is a GOOD GIRL!!

[@thebee8415]

@@curtisfranzen986 It’s obvious to see where Liz inherited her humanity from, good job to all of ye who did this kind deed for a lost little dog family. Do you not worry about Cookies past and the reason why she was abandoned. Maybe she was from a bad family and abused and she may have some hidden aggression issues that might appear out of the blue some day in front of your grandchild.(I hope not, I pray). I adopted a small Jack Russell from the pound once, cute as a button. Every time I’d drop a rake/ sweeping brush then reach to pick it up, he’d try to attack me. I keep him well away from the kids after that I just couldn’t trust him.

[@curtisfranzen986]

@@thebee8415 I have an educated opinion. Cookie IS an abuse survivor. I still see it. Every day. Cookie has horrible nightmares, she jumps if touched unexpectedly, she has severe separation anxiety if both Kathie and I happen to be out of the house. It's heartbreaking at times.

[@curtisfranzen986]

@@thebee8415 To answer some questions. Cookie was abused and neglected. To be honest, I don't know how Cookie isn't aggressive towards everyone and everything. What I believe is that Cookie realizes that a warm bed, and an extended family in Chicago is much better than being homeless in Tulsa. Also, while Cookie will listen to me, and even cuddle up, make no mistake. COOKIE IS KATHIE'S DOG!!
