Ya some of them just look so unnatural. An APBT should be muscular, but also athletic and agile. Some of the poor little things Ive seen look like musclebound stumps with heads as big as their bodies.

And by calling them a 'mixed breed' (the guy in question) I think he is under the impression that Breeders are still forced to cross-breed every time to produce the Pitty.

How long til u get your OEB?

who is forced?? some ppl like the taller athletic dog... yet some like the short thick "meaner looking" breed... by calling them all pits is not right... thats why theis dogs have such a bad rap... everyone thinks they are all the same.by seperating the breeds we can at least break the steriotype of all pits being the same..you would really have to be an owner to know what i mean. im trying to post some pics right now, it is not working

and if u have owned a pit, then u should know about the ignorant comments ppl say... yesterday a father told his kid my dog was a human killer....WTF.. and when ppl aske what kinda of dog it is, they respond better when u tell them the full breed name rather than just saying PITBULL

Not being confrontational, but I am confused as to your position. Do you think that the nomenclature 'Pitbull' and 'American Pitbull Terrier' denote differing breeds?

People often mistakingly class AmStaffs and Staffs as Pitbulls, but correctly, a Pitbull and APBT are synonymous.

ya but thats like saying all americans are mexican american. its just too broad.. alot of ppl have staffs other mixes yet still call them pitbull AND apbt... the title pitbull is so tarnished, i just dont see that as proper.. if the breed has a name it deserves to be called an APBT

EDIT: no... i know a pitbull is an american PITBULL terrier... but thats what it is... AN AMERICAN PITBULL TERRIER>> not a PITBULL ... i dono if u get my drift.. mabey im not explaining it right?

I think that is the stem of your confusion - allowing others to muddy your opinion.

The name, 'Pitbull' does refer, when used properly, to APBT. There is no need to further distinguish it. If it is a mix, say, "It is an AmStaff/Pit mix", as the name Pitbull is properly referencing APBT. No need to broaden that name.

but how is that different then just stating AMERICN PITBULL TERRIER. ... thats kinda like saying u have a poodle/lab mix..... of course u use the name lab, but thats not its real breed name... just like pit/pitbull, is not the full APBT breed name...im just saying when ppl ask for the type of dog i have i say APBT, cuz thats what it is....i dono if i explained this right... i have to go pick up a present for fathers day...


pitbulls is too general..... thats all....in my opinion thats like saying if u have a boston terrier, its a terrier, considering there is so many terrier breeds out there, i dono, mabey im worng... idono, i gotto go

DoW, i think you're confusing yourself on their argument.

Look dude, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I used to own an APBT and I am definitely an advocate of the breed. I just think you are a bit confused. I understand that the name "pitbull" has been given a negative connotation by the media, which is why sometimes I would tell people my dog was an Amstaff (even though she was an APBT). But the fact remains that the proper name of the breed is American Pitbull Terrier. If it is a pitbull, it's an American Pitbull Terrier. If it's a mix, then it's a mix.
