APBT

next time you see her with the bone, Bin it. Problem fixed.

So many great APBT's in Italy aswell.

Go find an old sofa and use the Removable foam seating part, Free and last for ages.

one of the best things ive found is to get a brick and put in in the fire place till it heats up, Wrap it in a few old pillow cases and it stays warm for hours. Chew proof as well.

i use the dimitrol daily, in summer i usally give everyday, what about in wnter tho, i havent been using it since it got cold.

ima barka- You have made it clear you have NO clue what you are talking about when it comes to the APBT, so plsease stop. Your almost as bad as the media with the crap you spill.

Also you have 15 posts, all from this one thread? so you came on here specially to talk rubbish about the APBT.

Dont you have a business that need attending to? or are the APBT's still bringing it down.

In a threatening situation involving ''family''

Secure your position, save your own first.

Anyone have a problem with that?

Don't mention the the UKC either, it was raised as pit bull registry because the AKC, with good reason, wouldn't buckle & give the pit bull pure breed status.

Chauncy Bennett wanted a fancy pedigree paper for his dog so he started his own registery. & a profitable BIG business it is and all. That doesn't mean Bennets Ring wasn't a ''pure breed''. Probably was. But rather the breed as a whole, has so many different variationa it didn't qualify as a legitimate PURE breed. Still doesn't.

& the rest of the so called registries are only self interested clubs, so don't bother spinning them out either.

ima, the BSL picture is bigger than that of just the pitbull, this is what i'm trying to get across.

You can argue that it's not a pure breed, but then you'd be saying that amstaffs are also not a pure breed..? I was of the understanding that many many years of registered bloodlines, papered pedigrees would make them a pure breed. (hey i could be wrong). What on earth do you think they are if they're not purebred? you think that millions of dogs that look the same is just a coincidence? Oh the AKC wouldn't buckle but they'll open the stud books to them!!!

Anyway i really don't care that your think they're not purbred, it's really not the issue on this part of the forum, and it doesn't bother me one little bit if i had a mongrel cross or a purebred. I'd just like to get everyone against BSL.

Misquoted yet again. Talk about your so called ''standard'' if you wish to chastise me. That is where I say your ''pure breed'' argument falls apart. That & the b.s. the P.B. people like to spin about its heritage of course.

Fairy tales wont help your cause. Neither will I until my recognised, registered pure breeds business is successfully concluded. We are struggling to fend off the crap you have dumped on us you see.

You do what need to do. No problem.

As long as it doesn't infinge on the safety or reputation of registered pure breeds, go for it.

You could begin by calling them APBTs in public & registering them as such, rather than ASTs or x staffies for a start. That would be good. That would at least be honest. That would be a change for the better.

While you're here tho, can you tell me why so many pictures of the APBT show them in aggresive postures?

& what's with the pics of dogs in open paddocks secured to huge bollards by massive chains?

Surely not a good look for the promotion of a family friendly, companion dog?

That was the preferred image pre B.S.L. but isn't it time to put that cue in the rack.

Also, how many APBT owners here now fully comply with the laws required for the keeping of the breed?

Hands up.

Any?

WOW, now hold up. Fairy tails, spinning heritage? Honestly who do you think you are talking like this.

You talk about you business not being successful and you come on here and blame it on the APBT. You need to be spending more time on the books then whinging on the internet.

And you see dogs in paddocks with chains, Anyone who knows anything about an APBT would know how to contain these dogs properly, and Tethering is quite popular among people in the U.S. Hence you saw these pictures on Google because i guarantee you have never been within 5 meters of a real bulldog let alone an APBT.

Give up were here to stay.

There is no safe side and why should the ANKC breeders/owner/exhibitors apologise or feel bad for looking after their own. The pit bull is already subject to BSL in all but a couple of the states/territories in this country, so far the ANKC breeds are not. Why waste the energy and the resources on the pit bulls, the focus should be on preventing ANKC breeds from being added to any of the lists.

When that is done and the future of the recognised breeds is safe, then maybe we can look at those breeds that are currently restricted.

The CCCQ believe in putting as much distance between themselves and the Pit Bulls as possible, as did Dogs NSW when they negotiated and secured the future of the ANKC bull breeds in NSW.

Why should anyone feel bad for looking after their own? What becasue you think yours are better then mine?

Go preach your ANKC rubbish elsewere, fact is there are always going to be all sorts of dogs around, purebred or mutts either way people are still going to fight for them. Go put your "resources and energy" into that war before you continue your one on the APBT.

I vote no.

Although i have a friend who has a APBT and registered him as Amstaff.

Alot of people do this. Means nothing tho, you can register you dog as any breed you think it is.

No No No and No.

1454 American pitbulls and pitbull X's were recorded PTS in Denver in 2005

I couldn't imagine the numbers killed if it were to be counted around the world, not just one city.

i feed frozen carcass, and bones, never an issue.

HAHAHA how do people come up with this rubbish?

To the OP, Find something else to do.

Tim Bailey should know better, he has supported Doggie Rescue in the past, a group that has a trillion unwanted designer dogs.

Mabey he should know better, But weather he likes it or not its his job and if he wants to keep it his going to have to do what they want.

He wouldn't kick up a stick for a pedigree dog over his job.

Some of the pitbulls that are being bred now in the US are bloody huge.

once again, people have no clue, they are not American pitbull terriers, they are American bullys, a pitbull type dog that are breed for looks and size. And yes they are HUGE compared to the REAL APBT.

Abigail go to this website and read this.

“Pit Bulls have more bite pressure per square inch (PSI) than any

other breed.” This is absolutely false.

Tests that have been done comparing the bite pressure of several

breeds showed pressure PSI (per square inch) to be considerably lower

than some wild estimates that have been made. Testing has shown that

the domestic dog averages about 320 lbs of pressure per square inch.

Recently Dr. Brady Barr of National Geographic conducted a comparative

test between a Pit Bull, a Rottweiler, and a German Shepherd. The Pit

Bull had the LOWEST PSI OF THE THREE.

Thanks for that Jackie but I must say I have my reservations about those tests. I haven't clicked on the link but have read the bit you copied and pasted, I will do so tomorrow. TO say that the pitbull had the lowest PSI sounds far fetched to me. Can't help but wonder if Dr. Barr is a pitbull aficionado

You don't want to believe it because it's not what goes along with your theories. APBT are the smallest dog of the 3 why wouldn't they have the lowest? it's plain physics.

Pitbulls are not all that much smaller than a boxer or a german shepherd and they are powerfully built with a jaw that is far larger than that of quite a few breeds.

If you saw an APBT the size of a GSD or a boxer you would really shock alot of people. Mabey an amstaff or a pitbull cross.

Like i sed most people dont know squat about a real APBT.

Just what i was looking for, ive heard the roomer many times that an ABPT bites harder then any other breed ect, Its all rubbish.

Theres many articles that people have tested and the APBT came in about 7 or 8 breeds down,

But why we would see more attacks from pit x's? ( if that is the case?) its' that there are way way more around then boxers.

and yes tend to attract some real idiots, and these are most likely the ones putting a bad name to the dogs, But There is way more people that love and give there life to the breed to have them gone. It wont happen.

what do you mean by amber eyes? like red around the eye? or actual eye colour

I mean the actual colour of the iris. This particular pitbull had yellowish eyes. When I looked at its eyes they were basically yellowish with the black pupil.

never really noticed till now, yes they are yellow around the black pupil.

Why do you ask?

So true, unfortunately BB. Certain people have to face the fact that their beloved choice of breed (namely of the bully variety) is capable of inflicting serious injuries and that they do require more careful restraints.

Every dog is capable of serious injury, you must really hate bull breeds, do you have some vendetta against them? 'cause all you seem to post is negative, bigoted, one sided comments.

All dogs need training, it's that thing that most owners seem to negate, especially owners of dogs that think their dog is a little person.

There's a hundred breeds that can do as much harm as any bull breed could but i don't see you slagging them off?

No, I do not hate them. I just am of the belief that APBT are more capable of causing serious injuries than any other breed. And I don't have any vendetta against them. As I said before, I have owned boxers (amongst other large breeds) before and will do so again, the boxer is a treat of a dog with a sense of humour and not as prone as a pibull to be DA.

And im sure a boxer could inflict the same amount of damage if not more then an APBT, there more then double the size of an APBT. But im sure you rasied your boxer lovingly as we do out APBT's, therefore usually without a problem.

I saw a red nosed pitbull at the vet and he was far more solid than any boxer I have seen and almost the same height. The APBT was an awesome looking dog, very muscly with a well developed head. Looked very similar to the photo you have on your avatar, APBT. Does your pitbull have amber eyes?

Stubby served with the 102nd Infantry, 26th (Yankee) Division in the trenches in France for 18 months and participated in four offensives and 17 battles.

After being gassed himself, Stubby learned to warn his unit of poison gas attacks, located wounded soldiers in no man's land, and — since he could hear the whine of incoming artillery shells before humans could — became very adept at letting his unit know when to duck for cover. He was solely responsible for capturing a German spy in the Argonne.

Stubby was made a life member of the American Legion, the Red Cross, and the YMCA. In 1921, the Humane Education Society awarded him a special gold medal for service to his country. It was presented by General John Pershing.

* 3 Service Stripes

* Yankee Division YD Patch

* French Medal Battle of Verdun

* 1st Annual American Legion Convention Medal

* New Haven World War I Veterans Medal

* Republic of France Grande War Medal

* St Mihiel Campaign Medal

* Wound stripe, replaced with Purple Heart when introduced in 1932

* Chateau Thierry Campaign Medal

* 6th Annual American Legion Convention

* Humane Education Society Gold Medal

His sed to be an APBT/ Boston terrier.

and I thought we were safe.......

does any one know if you are reg breeder with Dogs NT and you breed pit bulls are you still aloud to breed????

I would have thought as the APBT were not a registered breed you would not be allowed to breed them as a registered breeder ?

Thats my view

J

There not a recognized breed??????? I didnt know that, lol shows how blonde Iem, I thought it would have been that's all.

I thought about 7 years ago there was breeders for red noise pitbulls that are reg with kennel club, but I must be mistaken.

You cant be a breeder of Red nosed pit bulls, its just a color. But i have heard of many people having Papers for there APBT's.

The General public from what ive experienced are so to speak Anti BSL, or believe that its all in "how there raised", my beliefs also, and one of the reasons i believe the APBT is NOT a lost cause.

ive walked my dog/s through the city many times, big dog parks, small dog parks and the local streets and had nothing but good experiences and comments.

Honestly, how is anyone going to stand there and say how viscous and a man killer a breed of dog is when someone has one sitting next to them doing the exact opposite, Some people need to see to believe.

And i have no time for people who slag the breed yet wont spare a minute to actually meet one person and make a judgment call for them self.
