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.

Right?!?!

I have an American Bully, got her when she was 3. She had never experienced cats beforehand and we had 4, so we had a bit of work. You could see her confusion when I would feed & pet them and a look of panic when they came up to her. They are now comfortable roomies. Good animal husbandry is always a key element.

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.

@@DavidGarcia-re9qh the American pit bull terrier is a pure breed of working dog registered with the ADBA since 1909 And can also be registered with BFKC. UKC isn't reliable and has many pitterstaff labeled as American pit bull terrier. As a breed the American pit bull terrier was used for bull and bear batting wich became illegal in 1835 then the breed became the preferred choice of dog fighter's. 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. This needs to stop All it accomplishes is BSL lack of reasoning to prove what is a pit bull when they confiscate and destroy people's property. simply killing pets!

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.

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.

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.

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.

They have anxiety sometimes when they’re pups and you leave them, they crave affection and for your approval, they just want you to be happy with them. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH 💯

The best dog I've ever owned was a pit bull terrier. He was the most gentle dog I've ever owned. I raised him around many people. I took him to the lake, the river and the springs everytime I had a chance. He never attacked anyone and was kind to other dogs as long as he wasn't attacked first. 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!!! These dogs are not the problem. It's the owners!!! To kill that many dogs as I saw in those photos is insane!!! I want to hurt the people who did this or forced this on others to do.

@@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.

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.

Assume they’re aggressive I love every dog I’ve ever know, I’ve had APBTs and Amstaffs and known American bullies and they’ve all been incredibly sweet. 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.

My grandmother has an American Bully that my family gave to her. Her name is Maya, and she is the quietest, sweetest dog in the world. When she goes on rides, she sits in the front seat to "protect the car" when grandma goes into stores or gas stations. She would protect my grandma from anyone she considered dangerous, and is never aggressive towards anyone else. When not defending, she's in a cool corner in the room relaxing. We have seen grandma leave her home when she's going somewhere, and she'll pace back and forth until she gets home. She loves her owner, and will do anything for her. Makes me wish I had a friend like that 😖

No dog breed is born aggressive. It's taught by irresponsible owners. So many large breeds that are twice as strong as a PitBull. Able to do more than double the damage quicker. In the animal kingdom...DOG...it's not about size. I've seen so many dog interactions where the much smaller weaker dog is the "boss" or the one the large dog fears. Backs away from. As mentioned briefly in this video. But owners of large breed or very athletic dogs do need to be honest with themselves. And ask themselves are they physically a match for the dogs? The owner MUST be able to suddenly overpower the dog to control it (e.g. from jumping on some one afraid of ALL dogs regardless of size, from running towards the park across a street to play with his dog friend...etc.). If the dog simply wanted to run would the owner be dragged? e.g. have seen little kids walking a full grown Husky. Similar body weight...dogs are pound for pound stronger usually. Also. Not all dogs of that breed are like the majority. Buyer might be looking for a lazy breed because they themselves are not athletic. Buy a Pug. Thinking the dog will be mostly home bound and require little exercise. Most are like that. But then there are many who are not. Mine is one of them. He can if off leash outrun any human and be "un-catchable" as he can accelerate to near his top speed in 2 seconds. And he's able to plant himself refusing to move. Requiring me to use "enough strength" to pull him from his spot. I do some powerlifting for fitness. Almost 6ft tall. Male. .. Some people should not be sold certain breeds of dogs. Too much for them clearly.

I rescued an AMStaff from a pound. He was the most beautiful dog with people, but his reactiveness and prey drive was so high that he would attack any dog that came within 50m of him. We spent thousands of dollars on trainers, but in the end he was put to sleep as he couldn’t be trusted not to harm someone if he tried to get to another dog.

Thank you for educating me on the difference. Up until today I was referring to American bullies as pit bulls because I'd always heard them referred to inaccurately.

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."

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.

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.

❤ 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!! With the UK now facing an XL American Bully ban I am heartbroken that my dogs may be next on their list and have their right to run off lead and muzzle free removed or worse still have my dogs removed and destroyed. 😢😢😢

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

My parents had a American bull dog, his name was Achilles and he was very kind, until one day, 2 teenagers got in through the front door, and to make a long story short, he saved my mothers life. And he was deaf from birth, but had great instincts.

Thank you for presenting the FACTS. I own a mixed breed, a beagle bull, half beagle and half pit bull. He looks like a giant beagle, but just tan and white, no black fur. 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 !

Here is the truth: They are not innately more dangerous than any other dog breed. The problem is that they are highly loyal and powerful dogs who are greatly susceptible to the reckless conducts of the irresponsible owners who are dead set on infusing viciousness into them. It’s the irresponsible human owner that makes the dog potentially dangerous.

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 1 of each, a pit and an am bull. Ive had rotweillers, malamutes, samoyeds, shepards throughout my whole life and my pitbull and am bull are thee 2 coolest dogs ive ever had. Both love my kids, both are big sooks, but both are super super protective of my family too.

theres a story here in my country that a family own a pitbull.. they brought it since it was a puppy and it happen that couple also having a child.. they both grew together the baby and the pittbull... the baby grew up and so close with the pittbull.. one time the parent get annoyed of child so they try to scold the child a little the child cry and the dog gets angry.. both parents run and from that day no one dare to mke the child cry..

I love Bullies and Pitties. They are such sweeties if trained right. 🐶❤️

My xl bully is one hell of a happy 100lbs ''little'' guy. He's very protective, I would not deny its potential ''danger'' BUT those dogs, when bred and educated in a responsible and loving way are the most balanced, tempered and self controlled I've ever come across in my life. 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. I LOVE my big boy like crazy. He's a real brother to me. That's how fantastic those companions are. Sorry for the rant.

Still not a huge fan of pit bulls since I’ve been beaten by one badly. I had two other close calls with pits as well and my friend was bit on his face by a pit Bull as well. They don’t deserve poor treatment but some pit bulls aren’t too good of dogs due to bad owners or there past life. Unfortunately for me and my friends who were victims of pit Bull attacks, I won’t be able to feel comfortable getting close to one or even adopt one due to me being in fear of them. Don’t get me wrong, I met some good pit bulls but was still nervous or fearful of being bitten again by the dog. I hope the pit bulls do get some sort of positivity and light by showing more of there positive energy.

My mom used to repeat the myths about pitbulls and their "locking jaws" and I could never convince her away from her fear of them. Then I adopted one from a shelter, brought her over in her pink coat with the fur on the hood. Overtime, she has grown to love my pitbull so much and it wasn't people that could convince her otherwise about her breed but the dog herself.

That was good info as it pertains to facts but I noticed that you spoke about 3 bulldog types used to create the Am. Bully and yet you showcased the XL Am. Bully. The bullies you showcased in this video were merle and tri colored coated dogs which does not indicate bulldog traits at all. 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. I think that would be a good topic to touch on in future videos, "the coat coloration and temperament of breeds that incorporate the Am. Bully"...

Putting that slash after Pitbull makes it look like you are saying they are the same.

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

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.

Maybe just Learn to fight yourself? Never train or allow a dog to fight.

A pet dog brings you calmness and a totally new view to the world. As with humans, different dog breeds requires different approaches. A dog is as good and social as his human master, you can mold them as you want them to be. Why this breed is so popular? Because they're loyal until death, courageous, powerful, athletic and will not give up. Last but not least absolutely wonderful, loving, goofy and funny companions.

This episode was so instructional!! Thanks 👍

So true. Ignorance of the public mixed with media biases. Always trying to find the worst in all things

As someone who has been scared of pitbulls, adopting one has really changed my outlook on them. I honestly can't live without pitbulls. And yes, my dog can't guard as he's too friendly

I used to raise those about 10 years ago....very annoying the pups strike up a howling wine in a chorus that can drive you insane. If you ever want the ultimate mid to large game hunting dog get 3 dogo Argentinas they are the most amazing breed I have ever owned. Athletes Is an understatement, speed take down power they can run down and destroy a pack of coyotes in seconds. 3 of them can drag down the biggest boars. Mine can take down deer, on runs them the other 2 flank like raptors.

I had no idea they were different. Thank you for the education.

If, as many comments on this forum suggest, you believe the APBT to be the greatest breed capable of doing almost everything other dogs can and better... Th^n you need to thank a dogfighter. Hold on a second. I have several and do not agree with fighting. But I had to begrudgingly admit that it is the fact that they were bred specifically for fighting and nothing else for 200 years that produced this amazing dog. Ironic, and hard to accept but none the less true.

Thank you so much for differentiating between these two breeds more people need to see this video so they can get some education on it but also pits are prone to dog aggression and animal aggression some are more watered down and will be animal and dog selective as my old pit bella was she loved most other dogs and absolutely hated chickens but pits are definitely not a breed for novice dog owners if your going to own one do alot of research and make sure you as its owner can handle such a powerful dog amd control it properly train and social them and youll have the best dog you can ask for but i believe before getting any breed of dog you should do research on everything about the breed so you know what your getting into even if its just a chihuahua

I'm from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and I live in the only province in Canada where Staffordshire bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers and American pit bull terriers are banned. 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.

Very informative and well said. I wish they would remove the dangerous dogs act in the UK and just let people own whatever breed they like.

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? The way pigs etc are treated and killed is far, far worse - and I know many people who are 'animal lovers' yet will happily pop down to tesco and buy factory farmed pork without so much as a second thought.

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.

Thank you Animal Watch. I agree with pretty much everything you said. Just the Pictures weren’t as accurate.

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.

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 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.

Pitts are incredible, loveable and smart. Fantastic dogs.

Finally a truthful and non sensational video on the Pitbull Terrier. And with some familiar dogs to me too :-). Fact is, Pitbull Terriers are not for everyone and on top of that, breeding needs to be controlled and owners need to be selected and educated. 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.

It is the owner not the dog. I walk 2 German Boxers that only understand deutschen commands and always allow others to pass on trail. Not everyone is comfortable with big dogs and mine are 43 kg and 37 kg. I have been complimented in the past for the demeanor of the pups. They are my furry kids with unconditional love. I respect that with a solid bond with them and a lot of rubs hugs and treats when deserved. The dog knows what the owner is feeling at all times.
