A lot of people seriously don't know what an American Pit Bull Terrier is. Watch this video and you will understand the breed allot more. Most people that claim to own these dogs really don't. They own mixed bred dogs that are designed using the American Pit Bull Terrier. Allot of these crosses have American Bulldogs added in for size and strength and some even try adding Bullmastiffs! Both the American Bulldog and Bullmastiff are much larger and more powerful dogs then the American Pit Bull Terrier. That is one of the reasons they are used to produce the dog commonly seen today. Allot of these dogs end up in shelters. In reality, the true APBT is, in my opinion, one of the best dogs you can own, if you know how. Dogs are pack animals and you need to make sure you're the pack-leader without ever hitting or abusing your animals. You also need to make sure that you can handle a dominant breed.

The true American Pit Bull Terrier is a small to medium sized dog that gets 15 - 21 inches at the shoulders and
22 - 65 pounds. Anything more then 70 pounds is obese and/or a mutt.

In this video you will learn:
*- What a true American Pit Bull Terrier is and how to know.
*- How to tell the difference between the true APBT and the Fakes.
*- How to know if the breeder is a legit, educated, responsible, reputable, respectable breeder, and also how to tell if they are a "Back-Yard" breeder.
*- You will also learn the "Pit Bull" isn't a breed, its a term used to describe a certain group of dog breeds. "Pit Bull" isn't a breed itself, though.
*- You will also see some of the breeds commonly confused as an APBT.
And many more ....

Enjoy the video and learn! Good Luck!

  • While you're correct about what the "apbt" was when it started out. You're wrong about what it is today. Fact is these "pitbulls" or "bullies" are decendants bred for the qualities that you claim ban them from being "true". Just because they're bigger & stronger than when the first originated does not make them any less "apbt". In addition you're entirely wrong about breeders & they're ways of operation. Yeah there are some shitty breeders. But you'll have that with any type of the animal.

  • @masterofmany While your right about the breeding ethics, ( You said what I said, so I agree. ), if I breed a Border Collie to an Australian Shepherd for whatever reason, that does not make those puppies Border Collies, it makes them mutts. Border Collie mixes. The same apply here.... when you mix an APBT to another Bully breed to add strength etc, its no longer an APBT, its now an APBT MIX.

  • its a sin to see people run away drom these dogs for no reason, they dont mean to be scary, if a dog is attacking you, the owner probly trained him to do it, dogs are just animal from heaven, and they dont mean to hurt people

  • @nroland99 Dogs were created to work for/with humans... they would die to perform for us. In other words, I agree, they can only be how they were raised, they only know what they know. Teach them.

    Dogs were originally bred from wolves and such.

    ~Molosser King-Spell dog back wards.

  • @nroland99 I guess my friend taught his dog to try and eat his baby? i guess my neighbor trained his dog to attack his niece? both of them got bit on the face by pitbulls that were trained and raised and socialized properly. But that pitbull in them just went yum baby meat! its sick people dedicate so much time for a breed that is so prone to attacking randomly. its a waste of time to even say this b,c all pit owners say is o he wusnt raised right!

  • @bobwatters This is the situation. Many people that think they are raising their dog correctly probably are not. Dogs are pack animals. Lots of people treat them as if they are "just a part of the family" which is not good. Dogs, like children need rules, boundaries and limitations. APBTs were bred specifically to work with and for humans, and to be able to stand in the pit with their humans - so their people had instant and complete control. You should do research on dogs and open you're eyes.

  • @benjesolems Just a few weeks back over in Harris County Texas a young couple lost their infant to their family Pit bull dog. We really should call them up and tell them they were "shitty" because they didn't leap fast enough when their family "teddy bear" made his move and killed that infant. I agree that there are bad owners, but sometimes they are only guilty of being IGNORANT as to what they bought. A five pound dog could go nuts too, but never be CAPABLE of that tragedy.

  • I love these dogs and love the Staffordshire pit bull too - have never ever met a bad one, just shitty owners and only one or two of those x

  • @MrsMusicalMe Our local ranger didnt buy it when i said she's a lab mix.

  • I have a true APBT and I always am told that he is not a pitbull at all because he is too tall and he has too long of a snout! I just laugh at the ignorance. He's the best dog I have ever had.

  • No dog should be left alone wth a child...ever. I have been bitten by cocker Spaniels, chihuahuas, collies, and even the infamous German Shepherd. I have not been bitten by my APBT. That does not mean I put my guard down with ANY ANIMAL! From guinea pigs to quarter horses...THEY ALL BITE! Familiarize yourself and gain knowledge. Do not allow the animal to have the upper paw. Train and take care, we are not Beastmasters,

  • @MrsMusicalMe

    Happens all the time. I have a cinnamon fawn APBT foster dog. He is REGULARLY confused for a lab. He looks nothing like a lab if you are familiar with either breed. I even had a lady that supposedly breeds labs argue this point with me. Many people can't identify dog breeds as well as they'd like to think.

  • God I hate these backyard breeders creating these big, fat, ugly dogs that look like hippos! They are bred for money and for fighting. Nothing else.

  • I don't think I have heard of too many people confusing a lab with a pit bull terrier. That is ridiculous
