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.
True APBT’s are as athletic and game as any canine could ever be. Their quickness, speed, tenacity, determination, and willingness to never quit is one of a kind.
There are other breeds much stronger or faster with bigger bite force. But it is the fact that they never let go of another dog’s throat even when they are being stabbed by that other dog’s owner that makes them what they are, the deranged serial killers of other canines.
There are plenty other breeds that are stronger. Stronger bite force. Quicker. Meaner then a real apbt. What makes the apbt shine is. No other dog is more eager to please its master and willing to die to please you. No other dog has the game. No other dog has the determination or athleticism. They say apbt have higher pain tolerance then other dogs but I don't believe it. I believe the abpt is just more determined to endure the pain to complete there task to please you.
I would have agreed with you until I became the owner of a trained Belgian Malinois, faster by a long shot, 3 times as athletic, and they will dance all over any pitbull. They are the Bruce Lee of dogs. But I still love my pit bulls.
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.
Agree 100% unfortunately the damage they can do is far more than a terrier or chihuahua. My dog had is neck ripped out in a first meeting with a pit bull. I have seen pitbulks watching small children about to attack. I know they are not all bad and some causes are genetics and owners lack of training. But you can't take the risk because of how much damage they can cause do.
Unprovoked aggression? Not in my experience with my APBT. She is distrustful of new dogs, but does not attack. If a dog attacks Her, She is able to protect Herself. I see so many people with aggressive and untrained small dogs. If they attack, they will get their worst nightmare. Pits always get the blame. I don't let mine around other dogs She does not know for this reason. I have three small small terriers. She loves playing with them and is very gentle. Fantastic family dog. With that said, She does have a strong prey drive, JUST like my small Terriers. Edit, She loves people despite being abused as a puppy. No aggressive acts against people. Most affectionate dog I've ever had.
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.
It's not all about how you reise a dog. I have a caucasian shepherd and i socialise him as much as i can. I go with him at trainings with other dogs, and between people...but in his yard you can't approach to him as a stranger. And some peope can't play or touch him in exterior...so for safety when i go out i always say to people to stay back
Well, I'm a sarplaninac owner myself. No environment doesn't necessarily mean everything, but the idea is to see to the breed as well. The big Shepards with the exception of gsd are bred to be guard and herd. What they are saying is that some dog breeds like pitbulls that isn't bred to guard that are agressive is an effect of their environment.
@@oscarellenius2007 The german shepherd was a multi purpose dog. He was bred to keep sheep together and act as a walking fence, while also protecting the herd against animals and humans. The german shepherd also guarded his owners and the house. GSD‘s were absolutly bred for guarding
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.
Mine thinks he’s a cat lol best dog I’ve ever owned. Mine is a pitty rescue who was ran over by a car by someone who wanted him to fight and he wouldn’t. I’m lucky to have adopted him. :)
Aww we used to have an AmStaff who thought he was a cat because his big brother was a cat ❤️ he would perch on the back of the couch and look out the window just like the cat

@@ihatepeople_ Agree and there is a lot of it in Ohio where I live, unfortunately. Luckily, they have changed the laws in Ohio in the past few years and there are no bans in my area.
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."
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. Sick in the head is what those asshats are!! I'm super pissed off right now to hear this.
Totally agree, I've a 6mth old female bully xl and she loves other dogs and humans alike and would do anything to protect me or my young children, she's our baby and as this guy says it's the humans who bring them up wrong who should be punished not the dog!!!
I've met many pit bulls, all very friendly and well adjusted to people and outdoor environments. But I do believe it's about the owner; these dogs need proper training, socialising and plenty of mental and physical challenges, exercise etc. This gives any dog, of any breed, a great start in life. Bull breeds seem to need more attention and commitment , not about training to fight or to kill.
Nope. It’s always the breed. The golden retriever is the most popular breed and has never killed a person. Meanwhile 5% of dogs are responsible 65% of dog maulings… 🤔🤔🤔
@@TheSterlingArcher16 the golden retriever, never kill the person because his face was so cute. He has a very gentle and friendly temperament that everybody was concerned that this dog cannot hunt kill fight or anything, but still always about the way that you raise the breed because I seen a lot of golden retrievers, aggressive and eventually my cousin has one until he was about 5 to 6 years old. Unfortunately, he had to put him down because when his son was about the pet him. The dog went crazy and he beat him in the eye and he has rabies even though the vet check his rabies vaccination and he was healthy, so the point is, it’s absolutely not about the bread at all. It’s about the way that you raise them because my cousin did raised him well because he didn’t train him. He didn’t give him love he was concerned he could be an awesome guard dog so unfortunately my cousins son died, but it still means that the problem is about the owner because no matter which breed did you own if you’re not raise them in the right way they can turn on you and maybe even kill you. I didn’t know you think that’s a gentle small or big breed that can’t do anything
So eventually, this was the first golden retriever, whoever killed a person, and of course it’s the owner for my cousins fault in the answers was post in newspaper not on the news because they didn’t want to make everybody concerned that every breed is going to be bad aggressive and can you turn on people, but they don’t want everybody think that they were biased so they posted that only on the newspaper
Most pitbulls I have known have been very loving, playful and friendly. All were from loving homes, raised by various friends and people I've known over the years. All however had at least one incidence of violence or aggression in the past- biting people, killing cats, attacking horses. Pitbulls kill twice as many people per year than all other breeds combined. Pitbull injuries can be horrific. Statistically someone is killed by a pitbull in America every 28 days. Since bull baiting became illegal, dogs were pitted against each other. Retrievers retrieve, heelers will nip your heels even if theyve never seen a cow. similarly pitties were bred to fight. People make the mistake of thinking they can love the violent fighting instincts out of a breed of dog bred specifically for violence. Though they are rarely vicious and generally well natured, thet can snap, even after being a perfect pet and family dog for many years and raised in ideal environments.
Exactly according to some people Retrievers retrieve bc of genetics Hunting dogs hunt because of genetics Heelers bite heels because of genetics BUT APBT are dog aggressive because of how you raise them WTF no it’s all genetics
99% of dog attacks comes e mixed dogs mislabeled as Pit Bulls. People and the media mislabeled dogs as pit bulls since the 80s. Bull baiting was banned before the Apbt exist. Once Staff were imported to America. The Americans wanted a longer legged staff for Dogfighting. So they created the Pit Bull and Chauncey Bennett register them as the American Pit Bull Terrier in 1898
Some pitbulls can have a genetic bloodline of mental or violent dogs and still be overall a quiet and shy dog. Not every dog of a certain breed behaves the same even if one is mistreated,it can still be a pretty good natured dog around other dogs and people
That image of all the dogs that have been put down just made my heart drop. It is so sad all of the stereotypes these dogs are given. All dogs can love but you'll never see unconditional love like that of a pittie
@@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.
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.
Exactly. People need to stop brushing over and downplaying a breed's genetics. Socializing and raising are not the only factors to a dog's behavior and it's a dangerous mentality to have when owning certain breeds. Socialization just doesn't wipe a dog's genetics and people need to realize that.
I have to disagree with Anneka here: the problem with Pit Bulls is that for the last 60yrs they have been breed in large numbers for aggression and fighting. the breed stock has been controlled largely by hillbillies and ghetto thugs. this leads the breed to have mental/impulsive unpredictability. this is sad for the PitBulls that have a good pedigree. another example if poor breeding is the "Pitsky Pit/Husky mix"; breeding two high pray drive. impulsive independent breeds is just shear stupidity and dangerous. the Bully breed on the other hand, seems like a well thought out canine. the only Canine i never feel comfortable around (even when i know the owner) is the pitbull as the poor breeding makes them frenzy attack on a dime. and you never know which dog has the gene and which does not.
@@crabtrap Michael Vick was a dog killer not a thug. He was millionaire. His operation was not that of a thug but a POS with money and power. Michael Vick didn't not go to jail for what he did to those dogs. Michael Vick was a monster and nothing more.
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.
They are more inherently dangerous not necessarily because of their mentality, but because of their power. Pit bulls are best for training to attack and shred an opponent which means that they are inherently more dangerous than other dogs.
The American pitbull is an American legend among poor folks and it crosses racial malfunctions. The true American dog. Unconquerable spirit. Loyalty to the death.
The original pit bull is a great dog and not human agressive the multi breed bully is and its a totally different breed people need to get it straight know facts!
I call mine the American Bully Ambassador, she is so sweet. Currently she is at her grandparents, being spoiled. My old girl has had a hard life, she was used to just breed. After all that, she is the sweetest, most loving girl. Old age is good.
🤔 What a lot of people fail to understand is that if a pit bull loves you, he will die for you! And he won’t give up until he is satisfied the threat is completely over. It’s all out of love! 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 💯
I understand that your channel is for dog Lover, but to dismiss the overwhelming significant numbers of people injured by these dogs, and the suffering of those people, victims, is shameful. Also what so bad about discontinuing a bad bread.
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 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.
Ain't no other breed better than a APBT period!! Bullies were bred to try and replace the APBT but it was a compete failure 100%. Bullies have more health issues, less energy, cost more to feed and breed. APBTs are my favorite and always will be my favorite dogs because they'll put there lives on the line for there owner and they are loyal and obedient. They are child safe but in the wrong hands without proper sociability or training they can be stubborn hard headed dogs and can get you in a lot of trouble. Bullies have some aggressive traits as well don't be fooled my brother have lost many Bullies due to fights on the yard that got way out of control. Remember these are dogs with teeth and they have a ALFA and OMEGA mentality just like any other dog I've witnessed it myself and not just with bully breeds ALL KINDS OF BREEDS!! COCKER SPANIELS, ROTT WEILERS MIXED BREEDS AND SMALLER DOGS IVE OWNED MYSELF!! IM 40 YEARS OLD NOW AND DOGS ARE MY FAVORITE ANIMAL OTHER THAN HORSES AND WOLVES BUT AINT NO OTHER BREED OUT THERE OUTSHINING THE APBT PERIOD!!
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.
@@alphaarx3055 It's not a fault. The working blood line APBT is animal aggressive, just all working dogs have their traits, working live stock guardian dogs are the way they are. And right on down the line. Now that doesn't mean that if you have a working APBT and its a family companion and is raised with other dogs that it will always be aggressive, but strange dog is a whole different thing. But i would never allow a working game dog off leash in public. Just like i wouldn't let a caucasian shepherd off leash and the list goes on. It's really just that simple.
@@alphaarx3055 genetics play a role. The real Pitbull still has strictbred genetics in them. Everyone getting a real Pit without any knowledge is a Fucktard. That’s People that use real Pits as guard dogs or Protection dogs and then wonder themselves about their own faults.
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.
@@ilovemydog3791 You're right, it didn't make sense to me at the time to me either but it was still true. My dog has been attacked by pitbulls on three separate occasions, and each time the owner told me their dog was friendly. My point is, it seems many pitbull owners are either ignorant or in denial of their dog's aggression - not saying you're lying, but it's wrong to think that every pit acts like your dog when most of them do not.
@@mansondevil33 Irresponsible/ignorant dog owners haven't helped the Pitbull's unfair reputation. If raised just as a dog, socialised, neutered and exercised daily pitties are really sweet dogs. They are super friendly(they love people), loyal, outgoing and extremely eager to please. I'm sorry to hear about your dog but those Pitbulls have not been raised the right way. I guess it's impossible to convince you otherwise considering your experiences but I had my girl for 11 years and she was far too busy being happy to show ANY signs of aggression towards anything.
Here in the UK we now have many Bullypits, ie American bully x pitbull, these are Amazing & worth looking at, the prob as you state many times is the owners of bull breeds here many are trying to breed the biggest & Baddest bully, & the numbers of deaths by these is going up, & I feel a ban in the future is sure
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.
I used to be that person that was afraid of the breed . I volunteered at 2 shelters and the most breed that was in their was the Pit bull so I got over my fear . They were actually very loving and friendly . The other breeds were not as friendly.
If you are a strong Pack leader, your dog will feel safe and happy. No happy and safe (calm/submisive) dog will be in attack mode. Also remember to socialize. And always correct your dog if/when it shows unwanted aggression. YOU as the leader, desides when its time to "hunt". Remember that! That is why many of the smallest dogs are the worst. Their owners treat them like a small child (Its a Predator you idiot!) Most crucial is to try Not to have fear when socializing dogs. Dogs do sense fear. And if their strong leader is fearfull? well.. do the math. Most small dogs, who are showing aggression toward a bigger dog, is the owners fault. It has been prevented from socializing in a fearfull way by the owner. Poor little innocent dogs. Most basic needs f*cked up by imbicile owners.
Why didn't you talk about today's statistics of fatal dog attacks? To me, this just seems like propaganda to rehabilitate a dangerous breed. Look at that stats up until this today, they are still the overwhelming number of fatal and non-fatal dog attacks. There are tons of great dog breeds; why this attachment to the line of pit fighting dogs?
I like these dogs and I have a long history with these dogs and I've seen these dogs go from cuddly little creatures to Savage killers at the flip of a switch. A lot depends on how they're raised but they naturally have an instinct to fight and kill anyone that says otherwise is a f****** dumbass that's just standing up for their dog which is understandable to an extent.
Almost cried when she started talking about how any owner of a pit bull knows how loving and caring they are. I just thought about my 2 pitbulls I had when I was younger that have both passed away. Best dogs I’ve had. Rip Rex Rip Smoke
@@anthonyjoshua9599 naturally they are agressive that's why they have to be trained. So you saying they ARE AGRESSIVE. Other breeds are not aggressive even IF THEY ARE NOT trained.
@@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!
I was wondering when you would get around to this... You ARE Incredibly Eclectic and Thorough, If Nothing Else, Sweetie!!! Wonderful Synopsis My Lovely Friend and I will Continue to be your #1 Fan...
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.
My first dog was a lab mixed with other dogs, but I have had 2 pitbulls since and all dogs are cool as long as you treat them well. Animal abusers should fear for their well-being with me, I'll maim a dog fighter for life and permanently snap his knees out of socket one after the other with just a couple of simple leg submissions.
Sadly the XL Bully is now banned in most of the UK. I'm actually rehoming one from England to here in Scotland where they are not affected by this draconian law.
hi Anneka great video American pitbull vs American bully dog.. I am sure great dogs as companion.. if people trained American pitpull and Americans bully dog right way. not for fighting other dogs or attacking people... great video Anneka, stay safe..
@Jason Lambert Dogfighting was a test for Game. Either dogs had it or they didn’t. That’s why there’s a such thing as Cold Dogs, Curs and Game. You wouldn’t know if the dogs were Game, Cold nor Curs until the dogs were put to a test.
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. Anyone living in a city where a pit bull ban is in effect and wanting to get an American bully should call their city and confirm that a pit bull ban does not apply to the dog they want to get.
A little bit of research goes a long way and can prevent heart ache later on if the dog is seized or terminated because someone didn't know about the ban. I have had 2 xl bullies but I live in CA where they are allowed
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.
@@theperfectfighter9193 Too many pictures of Gr. Ch May Day, Ch Jeep, Gr Ch Nigerino and others to show these other dogs. Most of the information was wrong to
Thank you for a very informative video. I grew up with an Amercan Pitbull in the UK, we were fortunate to get him just before the ban, he was great dog and as friendly as they come. I have now got an 11 week old XL Bully so it was great to hear about the difference between the two breeds.
I own a stasfisire bull terior blue nose pit mix shes amazing and any pit or pit mix isnt the main issue the problem is the owner of all those viscous dogs the owner train it them and made em that way the breed is perfect when the puppy is placed with a good and loving responsible owner that will raise it right and take care of it love is and socialize it with ppl and dogs in non violent way.
I had an 80 pound pit bull from south central Los Angeles. Had a couple of Brits not even want to enter my apartment once, lol. Her name was Sophia, and she had great instincts with kids, decent with dogs, and cool with most strangers that weren't weirdos. I do live in Hollywood. She came from fighting lines, but I had her since she was 6 weeks, and was never aggressive. just protective against people who deserved it. She passed at 11 1/2 from cancer, but was the best. Dear Brits, don't believe the hype about pitties. They are great as long as you invest time in your dog.
I've had one true American pitbull terrier and I currently own a pocket American bully. Definitely a big difference between the two. Pitbull was very high driven like a border collie I used to have. 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.
Had a brilliant pit . A super dog. My son now has 2 Bullys. They look the part. But that's where it ends. No offence intended but I really don't get Pockets though. . ...I can see they're money spinners but. .? They seem unnatural and grotesque. They look like medical problems waiting to happen. All that weight, on legs that aren't under them. It shows beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I 100% agree with you, that these new dogs are very very different. Especially inside.
Common Sense video on a breed that has many emotional bias against it. I still the believe the old saying, no such thing as a bad dog - only bad owners.
I almost agree with you, but pit bulls are inherently more vicious than other dogs if trained right. That's why whenever I see one I do my best to avoid it. When I lived in Manhattan in the 1980's coming down 9th Avenue going home in a taxi I would see gangs with pit bulls on leashes being trained to attack. A few times I saw pit bulls let lose to actually attack people in the street. That was a tough time there.
@@hdhdhdhddhkalon FINALLY someone points it out. People still wanna just brush everything to the side about the true APBT because of what they go through.. yeah it sucks, but u can't ignore their history.
@@jacksak I have to disagree with you.. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I own a rehabilitation center for all breeds and pits are the least aggressive dog breed I've had to rehabilitate even from the worst conditions.... Most people don't even know the actual history of this breed and just as I thought this video left out a LOT of history. It sickens me that these "dog breed videos" don't ever give proper information. I've owned lots of breeds WAY more aggressive by nature. People make them what they are. I've rehabilitated many many pitbulls from fighting operations, and similar situations and almost all of them were more afraid then aggressive. I respect ur opinion but I respectfully disagree w you from my yrs of experience w them and other breeds. have a good one brother
@@carsoncolemanbm4 I appreciate your considerate and civil response. But I did say, "pit bulls are inherently more vicious than other dogs if trained right." Inherent refers to both physical and mental abilities. So, while mentality may be debatable, certainly physical ability is not. Pit bulls are absolutely much more powerful than other dogs and are extremely more dangerous if trained that way. ~~~~~ When this video came out I searched for pit bull statistics and attacks and found by far that pit bulls were involved in the highest number of deaths and injuries not only by those aggressively trained but by friendly, family dogs their owners swore were docile pets. Also, there are dozens and dozens of firsthand videos showing these attacks, enough to make the point that pit bull aggression is much more prevalent than in other breeds regardless of training. ~~~~~ Thanks for reading this, and I guess this is a polarized issue much like so many other issues today.
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 honestly think it's the owner who trains them to be mean! And with that said I think it's so cruel it's not good! From my understanding and from other people I know they told me that they are the precious most wonderful glorious dogs you could ever own they're very friendly and they're very loving with a true heart for their owners. And it depends on the people that they're with who treats them wrong and trains them to be mean that's where that comes from I believe! 😢☹️
A lot of dogs are mislabeled as pit bulls. There’s very few people that own the real pit bull (Apbt). The Apbt has dog aggression but human aggression is not a trait of the Apbt. All of those dogs comes from a Game Stock yard and have Bloodlines. No Bloodlines No Pit bull
@@rawjan39 I have a rescued American Pitbull, an Amstaff, a pitbull cross labrador, a Rottweiler, 2 boerboels, a GSD and an Africanus - all rescues. I've worked on making sure they're socialized with other dogs and are aware of social protocol with people (not friendly but careful with strangers as I have no wish for my dogs to be stolen). My Pitbulls and American Staffy are well socialized with all my rescues (cats).
THANK you for this! I live in Texas, USA- I've always had pitbull dogs and I have never had any issues with them. Dogs are largely products of their environment. Always remember that dogs are animals; first they are canines, then they are the breed they happen to be, lastly they are part of your family. Remember this, be a strong, loving master and all is well. 💙
Disappointing. Ignores statistical and genetic reality. Especially misleading: "all dogs have an aggressive side." Falsely suggesting pitbull types and mixes' unpredictably triggered, flesh tearing frenzy (UTFTF), from centuries of breeding for dogfighting, is found equally in all dog breeds. Pitbull-types and mixes are about 5% of dogs in the US, yet cause a wildly disproportionate 66% of dog bite related fatalities. Fatal dog attacks by breed (2005-2017) 0.2% Dachshund 0.9% Golden retriever 1.4% Doberman pinscher 2.1% Labrador retriever (most common dog in US) 3.2% Mastiff/bullmastiff 4.6% German shepherd 10% Rottweiler 66% Pit bull search on: dogsbite fatalities breeds 2005-2017 8:12 "The American Bully should not be confused with the several other bulldog breeds. And absolutely not of the pitbull terrier, even though...descended from him, as he has now been diluted heavily with other bulldog breeds" Yet no evidence is given that this has made the American Bully any safer that other 'bulldog breeds." This would also explain the defensive tone. No evidence those 'other bulldog breeds' have any less tendency for UTFTF. Indeed the "absolutely not of the pitbull terrier" American Bully, is quite capable of fatal maulings: search on: 2021 dogsbite Pocket Bully Killing Baby Girl Springfield IL
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.
@@joesredinferno1801 😂 . Who said,anything about the APBT being a new breed . The APBT comes from the English Staff and Irish dog known as the Old Family
@@rawjan39 in those years Staffords were not a breed apart from the pit bull dogs they were in fact The pit bull dogs also the blue Paul's and irish reds they were all fighting Bulldogs from different areas of Europe some had some terrier blood others didn't they bred best to best and kept that way for a long time the dog that we see today as a the pit bull is the result of selective breeding coming back from a long line of superlatives stretching way back to the Roman Colosseum.
@@joesredinferno1801 The APBT has Lloyd Pilot (English Staff) and Edward Gass Gatie ( Old Family ) in the back of their pedigree . I know my dogs history . RedBoy/ Jocko
Genuinely feel like some people need to stop beating around the bush about the APBT just because of what the breed as a whole goes through, yes it sucks and everyone wants change, but you simply CANNOT ignore the breeds history and genetics behind them as a whole. With the APBT terriers genetics, they were bred to fight, dog fights to be more exact. Which is why so many of them just can't be around other dogs, most of the time when you see a APBT be in a dog fight, they just ARE NOT gonna let go.. and do u know y..? Because that's what they were bred and trained to do from their history way back then. I don't get why people use their emotions so much to only pin point some things about the actual APBT, so they can make them seem like such a amazing dog that doesn't actually belong in their history.. APBTs will have the blood of the ones that were used back in the days for dog fighting, that's just how it is. There is no its, buts, or whatever. Yes it can be trained out of them, or it can be a temperament issue. But it's always gonna be within them, just waiting to be set off by some kind of trigger. Its the sad truth, but not saying they're all like that, when they aren't. Especially with families, but majority of the time you just cannot have them near other dogs. And yeah for these bully breeds. I'm heavily against them and thats my opinion and I won't ever support them or classify them as a breed in my own personal books. People only created those designer dogs for specific reasons. Money, fame, color, size/bone mass, something that they wish they got from the actual APBT but couldn't. So they went and designed their own breed. But that's just me
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.
Thanks so much for that. You seem to have a very special connection with your pit bulls, and it's so good to hear how intelligent so many dogs are, and so responsive to your commands.
I always correct people if they refer to my XL American Bully as a "Pitbull", explaining the breed to them. I bought her from a breeder, and socialized her from an early age. 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. I exercise her 1-2 hrs most days. She is my companion, and I am fortunate to be retired, and she rarely is left alone. I love the breed, such great companions!
I'm amazed at how quiet they are, and so gentle. I've met several bullies, all sizes, all very well adjusted because they're well trained and given plenty of exercise. ❤️🐕
They can potentially be very dangerous if they're raised to be so . Too many real monsters are raising them to fight and they should be exterminated. When they are raised to be the loving sweetheart they truly are they'll defend you until they're dying breath.
A bully is not a pitbull, I know because I owned pitbull terriers for 16 years and I now own a bully. Pitbull terriers are fantastic pets ❤I raised my kids with them. The tabloid press has blood on thier hands by demonising breeds.
❤ 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've just ad my ed Reid pure breed pit bull put 2 sleep after 14 years an let me tell you she was a absolutely outstanding dog "but don't get me wrong" she was unbelievably game!!!!!! I never ever wanted her 2 fight but she would if she felt threated or even challenged with out n.e fear what's so ever but thankfully I was there to sort the situation out. But please believe me when I tell you they will back dwn 2 nothing an can cause a lot of damage!!!!!! So please if you're going to own 1 bring the dog up in the right way and I promise u will av a awesome pet that will so u endless love . loyalty. An devotion x
Pitbull terrier is totally different breed to a Bully, Drive, tenacity and agility. No comparison. A Bully is the equivalent to a keyboard warrior wanting to be Canelo (Pitbull Terrier). 💯👌🏻
Dogs and guns are not dangerous....the owners are. Disrespect and not handling either will result in injury and danger. I love shooting and log pits/bullys. They are just a dollop of love and affection :) x
Thank you and amen! I can’t stand when people; 1. Mis-breed any dog simply by looks, 2. Call every bully breed a “pit bull” without knowing the differences between bully breeds 3. 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.
So the dogs character is destroyed because of the things humans used them to do??? Says more about humans than dogs. I've 5 bullys, 2 pittbulls, 2 staff's, 2 Jack Russell's, and 1 american heinze/Johnson mix. The most aggressive dog is the jack Russell, the one that protects the home is the oldest pittbull. My bullys don't give a fk about anything at all other than the people, they love attention, and love humans, all humans are seen S positive by the bullys, the pitts are more cautious of humans. Guess now I know why.
Some pits make the best dog ever~~ gets along every person and every dog and Some Pitbulls do not get a long with Any Dogs/Animals Period ~~~ needs to be only dog [you’ll know around 1year old]or only in home pack. Pitbulls are not for everyone….. only for those who will put In daily time/training ~~~~
@Mental Matt although I don't agree with the blanket ban in the sense of just measurements that can make various breeds "of type" there's alot of breeds that majority of people should not be able to own/buy, mainly because most people are morons.
I sell insurance and we cant insure any pitbull breed and bully also. But honestly only dogs i see attack other dogs or humans especially other dogs are pitbulls its allways the same problem sith them. So if you get them its your own fault when u cant get insurance and most owners are sadly not the smartest when i talk to them so maybe thats the problem.
People are basically idiots and letting some simpleton keep a Caucasian Shepherd is as ridiculous as keeping a loaded gun on the nightstand. I’d agree with you if owners had to pass a stringent course and licensing to own whatever dangerous dog...but most people can’t even tell time on an analogue clock🤦🏼♀️
Love the loveable comments but keep it 💯 they will try you as an owner at some point most times in play or feeding so you always have to be Master + responsible. Thus the extra you should do legally for this class dog. Loyal to their owners but under no delusion we who own to have own them have seen the statistics of Yang that comes with them. ❤
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.
Remember guys, just because 5% of dogs are pitbulls yet 65% of maulings are caused by them, it’s alwys the owner! Ignore the endless headlines about how they attacked without warning and they were such a good dog…🥴🥴🥴
I’ve always thought the BS Law was just that, “BS”. It just occurred to me, legislators usually like to create “blanket” laws to cover as much as possible, so why they suddenly decided to get specific doesn’t make sense to me 🤷🏻
I have an American XL bully and this video is so bias. You lost all credibility when you said "it's like the poor persecuted wolf" 🙄. Yes small dogs can be aggressive and attack but they're small dogs and won't cause much damage. It's like saying oh well you can't ban all tigers because of some irresponsible owners. Hmm well at the end of the day it's a tiger and if it flips then what/whoever is on the receiving end is screwed. At the end of the day size matters in dogs and XL bullys can't be compared to jack Russels, they're serious dogs with serious consequences if something goes wrong and it can go wrong quickly. Not everyone is Cesar Milan.
I had a male Pitbull that was an ex fighter at 120lbs I rescued when he was 3 yrs old. I was told they couldn't get matches for him because he was a quick killer in fights and he was to be put down. Unfortunately, I was the only person who could approach him in a loving manor due to his previous treatment. He was an angel towards me . I had to isolate him from other dogs but eventually became a sweet natured beast .
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.
Yes thank you for this episode, I see a lot of people mislabelong their bullies and mutts as pitbulls, which doesn't help their situation. Thank you for showing the truth about the APBT as well, because while they are extremely dog aggressive they are actually really loving towards humans and explaning how in their breed standard human aggression is a disqualification.
Yeah but majority of the dogs in this video are not the Apbt. The ones she showed as Pit bulls. Also when she mentioned Game . All Apbt are not Game. Game has to be proven. They are Game Bred but not Game tested. Two different things
@@angeladansie4378 true, but the ability to do maximum damage is not in any way unique to the bully breeds. Any powerful breed can do the same damage. There is just so much hype over the bully breeds.
@@angeladansie4378 APBT don't attack people, poorly bred mutts that have unpredictable behaviors do. Those are not Pit bulls, and people keep calling them Pit Bull when they attack, then show an 80lb dog... Pit Bulls don't get bigger than 50lb and are NOT people aggressive.
Freedom is precious. So are the lives of people. Animals that have been bred for certain purposes will display them. That’s why we breed, why I bred animals. Dogs bred for fight and attack will act out their genetic potential. It may be possible to turn them into cuddling family dogs, but with their disposition, they remain a risk. It is always the human‘s fault, and be it only for breeding and owning them. If you control a source of danger and harm, you are liable for doing it right. If you fail, the dog has to be shot, and you go to jail for a considerable time. Simple as that. The face or maybe even the life of that girl cant be put in peril for someone fostering his ego with a fierce, brutal, dangerous dog. Pimps don’t own Chihuahuas. They own killer dogs. Therefore, their breeding and husbandry has to be regulated and controlled. Want a family dog? Own a retriever. Don’t try to master a pit bull terrier.
@@personanon2879 Staffordshire bull terriers are very different to American pit bull terriers. Staffies are usually much smaller and only ever have dark eyes and a black nose, unlike pit bull terriers. However, they were both used as fighting dogs in the fighting 'pit'.
@@personanon2879 I've got 3 staffs and know a couple guys with pits. When you see them side-by-side the difference is clear. I also know a few staff/pit x-breeds that could pass as both.
People still breed fighting lines. Not necessarily for fighting, but those lines are good for hog hunting. So the same lines used for fighting, are the same lines used for hog hunting.
Well since bullies come from the APT and the APT doesn't actually have a weight requirement as long as the dog is balanced. She needs to do more research on both breeds
In UK pits are illegal even ones with crossed with pits. So from what your saying Bullies are illegal in UK? any dog put to sleep because of the breed makes me angry. Why not put to sleep dangerous wild animals etc.. You can have a bowa in the UK and there more dangerous than a pitbull. just because idiots own them don't make them dangerous breed nor should they be put to sleep. 90% of dogs you remove them from the idiots they become totally different pets. The law shouldn't dogs but ban the owners of having the breed
Thank you for this video. When I was younger, I always exercised extra caution around pitbull terriers because of the stigma, but, after meeting and playing with well trained and cared for pitbulls of my husband's longtime friends, I have changed my perception of them. They are so sweet and loving.
Also, would you do a video on the chow chow? In my town in California, there is a lot of stigma about the breed as well. I was raised from birth with this breed in my house in pure bred and mixed dogs and I absolutely love them. They were the best dogs.
Yes, they are very loving and caring. Pitbull terriers have a heart and very intuitive of a person and their feelings. I am American Pitbull Terrier (Red nose) owner, (14 yrs old 7-5-22) I have had him since he was 3 mns old. JuJu walked up to me and my son out of all the other puppies like to say, take me. JuJu is a certified Emotional Support animal and he has really helped me when I have been sick, angry and helped stablized me to get strength to walk.
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
Almost any dog can be dangerous. Pibbles are very muscular and yeah can be dangerous. I’ve only had pibbles and I’ve not had the experience of my dogs being anything but babies.
After getting an apbt pup and owning him for about 6 months now.. I understand all the hype about them. Seriously the most affectionate and smart dog I’ve ever owned and been around.
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.
Putting pictures of bullies when talking about pitbull might add to the confusion lol
I thought the same thing
Idk if it was on purpose or they were just showing lots of examples but they should have separated or edited the footage lol
@@bakingbulldogs3262 No same thing. You go. Run Run Chop Chop
yes but , that shows the intelligence of some people like yourself, thats why you have 100 likes,
Right?!?!
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.
😢 I know what you mean. Still get tears when I talk about my Red nose and it's been over 15 years.
True APBT’s are as athletic and game as any canine could ever be. Their quickness, speed, tenacity, determination, and willingness to never quit is one of a kind.
Nope
Facts!!
There are other breeds much stronger or faster with bigger bite force. But it is the fact that they never let go of another dog’s throat even when they are being stabbed by that other dog’s owner that makes them what they are, the deranged serial killers of other canines.
There are plenty other breeds that are stronger. Stronger bite force. Quicker. Meaner then a real apbt. What makes the apbt shine is. No other dog is more eager to please its master and willing to die to please you. No other dog has the game. No other dog has the determination or athleticism. They say apbt have higher pain tolerance then other dogs but I don't believe it. I believe the abpt is just more determined to endure the pain to complete there task to please you.
I would have agreed with you until I became the owner of a trained Belgian Malinois, faster by a long shot, 3 times as athletic, and they will dance all over any pitbull. They are the Bruce Lee of dogs. But I still love my pit bulls.
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.
Agree 100% unfortunately the damage they can do is far more than a terrier or chihuahua. My dog had is neck ripped out in a first meeting with a pit bull. I have seen pitbulks watching small children about to attack. I know they are not all bad and some causes are genetics and owners lack of training. But you can't take the risk because of how much damage they can cause do.
Agree
You are everything wrong with America. You want to take thier freedom? Damn commie
The old lady has the 2nd amendment.
Unprovoked aggression? Not in my experience with my APBT. She is distrustful of new dogs, but does not attack. If a dog attacks Her, She is able to protect Herself. I see so many people with aggressive and untrained small dogs. If they attack, they will get their worst nightmare. Pits always get the blame. I don't let mine around other dogs She does not know for this reason. I have three small small terriers. She loves playing with them and is very gentle. Fantastic family dog. With that said, She does have a strong prey drive, JUST like my small Terriers.
Edit, She loves people despite being abused as a puppy. No aggressive acts against people. Most affectionate dog I've ever had.
Best episode so far and finally a honest description of the APBT wich you dont find much
Lot of these dogs wasn’t the Apbt tho
Some of the video was ok but some of it was wrong
A bunch that was shown weren't actual APBT, it was just those bullies that were actually slim and fit like the APBT..
@@rawjan39 real talk haha i dont know if 1 was the real game dog
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.
It's not all about how you reise a dog. I have a caucasian shepherd and i socialise him as much as i can. I go with him at trainings with other dogs, and between people...but in his yard you can't approach to him as a stranger. And some peope can't play or touch him in exterior...so for safety when i go out i always say to people to stay back
It also depends on their personality
Don’t they tell you to stay back?
Well, I'm a sarplaninac owner myself. No environment doesn't necessarily mean everything, but the idea is to see to the breed as well. The big Shepards with the exception of gsd are bred to be guard and herd. What they are saying is that some dog breeds like pitbulls that isn't bred to guard that are agressive is an effect of their environment.
@@darkythecrazyninja5228 stay back! No, you stay back! No, you stay back...
@@oscarellenius2007 The german shepherd was a multi purpose dog. He was bred to keep sheep together and act as a walking fence, while also protecting the herd against animals and humans. The german shepherd also guarded his owners and the house. GSD‘s were absolutly bred for guarding
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.
Mine thinks he’s a cat lol best dog I’ve ever owned. Mine is a pitty rescue who was ran over by a car by someone who wanted him to fight and he wouldn’t. I’m lucky to have adopted him. :)

Yeeeeeew!!!
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 love this lady 👸🏼❤️, a real real genuine dog person ambassador to all breeds pleasure to watch keep it up 💪👌🙏🇬🇧😉
shes hot tooo
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.
Sick in the head is what those asshats are!! I'm super pissed off right now to hear this.
Totally agree, I've a 6mth old female bully xl and she loves other dogs and humans alike and would do anything to protect me or my young children, she's our baby and as this guy says it's the humans who bring them up wrong who should be punished not the dog!!!
I've met many pit bulls, all very friendly and well adjusted to people and outdoor environments.
But I do believe it's about the owner; these dogs need proper training, socialising and plenty of mental and physical challenges, exercise etc. This gives any dog, of any breed, a great start in life. Bull breeds seem to need more attention and commitment , not about training to fight or to kill.
Nope. It’s always the breed. The golden retriever is the most popular breed and has never killed a person. Meanwhile 5% of dogs are responsible 65% of dog maulings… 🤔🤔🤔
@@TheSterlingArcher16 the golden retriever, never kill the person because his face was so cute. He has a very gentle and friendly temperament that everybody was concerned that this dog cannot hunt kill fight or anything, but still always about the way that you raise the breed because I seen a lot of golden retrievers, aggressive and eventually my cousin has one until he was about 5 to 6 years old. Unfortunately, he had to put him down because when his son was about the pet him. The dog went crazy and he beat him in the eye and he has rabies even though the vet check his rabies vaccination and he was healthy, so the point is, it’s absolutely not about the bread at all. It’s about the way that you raise them because my cousin did raised him well because he didn’t train him. He didn’t give him love he was concerned he could be an awesome guard dog so unfortunately my cousins son died, but it still means that the problem is about the owner because no matter which breed did you own if you’re not raise them in the right way they can turn on you and maybe even kill you. I didn’t know you think that’s a gentle small or big breed that can’t do anything
So eventually, this was the first golden retriever, whoever killed a person, and of course it’s the owner for my cousins fault in the answers was post in newspaper not on the news because they didn’t want to make everybody concerned that every breed is going to be bad aggressive and can you turn on people, but they don’t want everybody think that they were biased so they posted that only on the newspaper
Most pitbulls I have known have been very loving, playful and friendly. All were from loving homes, raised by various friends and people I've known over the years. All however had at least one incidence of violence or aggression in the past- biting people, killing cats, attacking horses.
Pitbulls kill twice as many people per year than all other breeds combined. Pitbull injuries can be horrific. Statistically someone is killed by a pitbull in America every 28 days. Since bull baiting became illegal, dogs were pitted against each other. Retrievers retrieve, heelers will nip your heels even if theyve never seen a cow. similarly pitties were bred to fight. People make the mistake of thinking they can love the violent fighting instincts out of a breed of dog bred specifically for violence. Though they are rarely vicious and generally well natured, thet can snap, even after being a perfect pet and family dog for many years and raised in ideal environments.
Exactly according to some people
Retrievers retrieve bc of genetics
Hunting dogs hunt because of genetics
Heelers bite heels because of genetics
BUT
APBT are dog aggressive because of how you raise them WTF no it’s all genetics
99% of dog attacks comes e mixed dogs mislabeled as Pit Bulls. People and the media mislabeled dogs as pit bulls since the 80s. Bull baiting was banned before the Apbt exist. Once Staff were imported to America. The Americans wanted a longer legged staff for Dogfighting. So they created the Pit Bull and Chauncey Bennett register them as the American Pit Bull Terrier in 1898
Some pitbulls can have a genetic bloodline of mental or violent dogs and still be overall a quiet and shy dog. Not every dog of a certain breed behaves the same even if one is mistreated,it can still be a pretty good natured dog around other dogs and people
That image of all the dogs that have been put down just made my heart drop. It is so sad all of the stereotypes these dogs are given. All dogs can love but you'll never see unconditional love like that of a pittie
Can you imagine If pitbull was a LARGE DOG and with the agressive they are. I can't imagine
That is absolutely true! I've cared for many dog breeds and none is as persistently completely and enthusiastically in love with their humans.
@@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.
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.
The video was ok but gave a lot of wrong information and showed dogs that are not real Apbt
Thanks, finally read a sensible comment!
Exactly. People need to stop brushing over and downplaying a breed's genetics. Socializing and raising are not the only factors to a dog's behavior and it's a dangerous mentality to have when owning certain breeds.
Socialization just doesn't wipe a dog's genetics and people need to realize that.
@@yeahiknow4370 Thank you, I agree!!!!!
@@yeahiknow4370 exactly
I have to disagree with Anneka here: the problem with Pit Bulls is that for the last 60yrs they have been breed in large numbers for aggression and fighting. the breed stock has been controlled largely by hillbillies and ghetto thugs. this leads the breed to have mental/impulsive unpredictability. this is sad for the PitBulls that have a good pedigree. another example if poor breeding is the "Pitsky Pit/Husky mix"; breeding two high pray drive. impulsive independent breeds is just shear stupidity and dangerous. the Bully breed on the other hand, seems like a well thought out canine.
the only Canine i never feel comfortable around (even when i know the owner) is the pitbull as the poor breeding makes them frenzy attack on a dime. and you never know which dog has the gene and which does not.

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.
They are more inherently dangerous not necessarily because of their mentality, but because of their power. Pit bulls are best for training to attack and shred an opponent which means that they are inherently more dangerous than other dogs.

mhm, but sometimes animal aggression cannot be trained out. because of genetics, but if it’s not genetics it most likely can be.

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 💯
I understand that your channel is for dog Lover, but to dismiss the overwhelming significant numbers of people injured by these dogs, and the suffering of those people, victims, is shameful.
Also what so bad about discontinuing a bad bread.
Bad owners are why any dog, no matter what the breed, attack anyone or thing..
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 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.
Ain't no other breed better than a APBT period!!
Bullies were bred to try and replace the APBT but it was a compete failure 100%.
Bullies have more health issues, less energy, cost more to feed and breed.
APBTs are my favorite and always will be my favorite dogs because they'll put there lives on the line for there owner and they are loyal and obedient.
They are child safe but in the wrong hands without proper sociability or training they can be stubborn hard headed dogs and can get you in a lot of trouble.
Bullies have some aggressive traits as well don't be fooled my brother have lost many Bullies due to fights on the yard that got way out of control.
Remember these are dogs with teeth and they have a ALFA and OMEGA mentality just like any other dog I've witnessed it myself and not just with bully breeds ALL KINDS OF BREEDS!!

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.
You just admitted it's about the breed not always the owner's fault 😤
@@alphaarx3055 It's not a fault. The working blood line APBT is animal aggressive, just all working dogs have their traits, working live stock guardian dogs are the way they are.

Here in the UK we now have many Bullypits, ie American bully x pitbull, these are Amazing & worth looking at, the prob as you state many times is the owners of bull breeds
here many are trying to breed the biggest & Baddest bully, & the numbers of deaths by these is going up, & I feel a ban in the future is sure
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.
Lots of hugs and kisses for this lovely boy ❤️🐕
IT'S BAD PEOPLE NOT THE BREED BAN BAD OWNERS
I used to be that person that was afraid of the breed . I volunteered at 2 shelters and the most breed that was in their was the Pit bull so I got over my fear . They were actually very loving and friendly . The other breeds were not as friendly.
Chihuahuas are the meanest dogs in the world! Good thing they are tiny! 🤣
I’m only speaking generally, though. There are very sweet chihuahuas also.
I doubt you had any real pitbulls at the shelter
If you are a strong Pack leader, your dog will feel safe and happy. No happy and safe (calm/submisive) dog will be in attack mode.
Also remember to socialize. And always correct your dog if/when it shows unwanted aggression. YOU as the leader, desides when its time to "hunt". Remember that!
That is why many of the smallest dogs are the worst. Their owners treat them like a small child (Its a Predator you idiot!)
Most crucial is to try Not to have fear when socializing dogs. Dogs do sense fear. And if their strong leader is fearfull? well.. do the math. Most small dogs, who are showing aggression toward a bigger dog, is the owners fault. It has been prevented from socializing in a fearfull way by the owner. Poor little innocent dogs. Most basic needs f*cked up by imbicile owners.
The pitbull terrier is the most versatile dog breed in the world !!! Nuff said ✌

Why didn't you talk about today's statistics of fatal dog attacks? To me, this just seems like propaganda to rehabilitate a dangerous breed. Look at that stats up until this today, they are still the overwhelming number of fatal and non-fatal dog attacks. There are tons of great dog breeds; why this attachment to the line of pit fighting dogs?
I like these dogs and I have a long history with these dogs and I've seen these dogs go from cuddly little creatures to Savage killers at the flip of a switch. A lot depends on how they're raised but they naturally have an instinct to fight and kill anyone that says otherwise is a f****** dumbass that's just standing up for their dog which is understandable to an extent.

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!

Wonderful Synopsis My Lovely Friend and I will Continue to be your #1 Fan...
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.
One of my first dogs I ever had was a pit bull terrier. She protected me and saved my life as a toddler. Miss her so much
Best dogs ever
My first dog was a lab mixed with other dogs, but I have had 2 pitbulls since and all dogs are cool as long as you treat them well. Animal abusers should fear for their well-being with me, I'll maim a dog fighter for life and permanently snap his knees out of socket one after the other with just a couple of simple leg submissions.

They're banned in Scotland aswell
hi Anneka great video American pitbull vs American bully dog.. I am sure great dogs as companion.. if people trained American pitpull and Americans bully dog right way. not for fighting other dogs or attacking people... great video Anneka, stay safe..
People didn’t train the Apbt for dogfighting. They either had it or didn’t. The American bully was never a fighting dogs
@Jason Lambert Dogfighting was a test for Game. Either dogs had it or they didn’t. That’s why there’s a such thing as Cold Dogs, Curs and Game. You wouldn’t know if the dogs were Game, Cold nor Curs until the dogs were put to a test.
The American bully is no different from the Pit bull only bigger. Both are awesome dogs when raised right.
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. Anyone living in a city where a pit bull ban is in effect and wanting to get an American bully should call their city and confirm that a pit bull ban does not apply to the dog they want to get.
Good advice
A little bit of research goes a long way and can prevent heart ache later on if the dog is seized or terminated because someone didn't know about the ban. I have had 2 xl bullies but I live in CA where they are allowed
In switzerland there are just a few citys where this kind of dogs are banned and the american bully is listed under an pitbull
Everywhere should ban them and apologists should be shunned and socially shamed.

I had an 80 pound pit bull from south central Los Angeles. Had a couple of Brits not even want to enter my apartment once, lol. Her name was Sophia, and she had great instincts with kids, decent with dogs, and cool with most strangers that weren't weirdos. I do live in Hollywood. She came from fighting lines, but I had her since she was 6 weeks, and was never aggressive. just protective against people who deserved it. She passed at 11 1/2 from cancer, but was the best.

I believe you brother. Sadly others will remain scared.
I've had one true American pitbull terrier and I currently own a pocket American bully. Definitely a big difference between the two. Pitbull was very high driven like a border collie I used to have. 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.
Had a brilliant pit .
A super dog.
My son now has 2 Bullys. They look the part. But that's where it ends.

All that weight, on legs that aren't under them.

I 100% agree with you, that these new dogs are very very different. Especially inside.
Common Sense video on a breed that has many emotional bias against it. I still the believe the old saying, no such thing as a bad dog - only bad owners.
I almost agree with you, but pit bulls are inherently more vicious than other dogs if trained right. That's why whenever I see one I do my best to avoid it. When I lived in Manhattan in the 1980's coming down 9th Avenue going home in a taxi I would see gangs with pit bulls on leashes being trained to attack. A few times I saw pit bulls let lose to actually attack people in the street. That was a tough time there.

It sickens me that these "dog breed videos" don't ever give proper information. I've owned lots of breeds WAY more aggressive by nature. People make them what they are. I've rehabilitated many many pitbulls from fighting operations, and similar situations and almost all of them were more afraid then aggressive. I respect ur opinion but I respectfully disagree w you from my yrs of experience w them and other breeds. have a good one brother
@@carsoncolemanbm4 I appreciate your considerate and civil response. But I did say, "pit bulls are inherently more vicious than other dogs if trained right." Inherent refers to both physical and mental abilities. So, while mentality may be debatable, certainly physical ability is not. Pit bulls are absolutely much more powerful than other dogs and are extremely more dangerous if trained that way. ~~~~~ When this video came out I searched for pit bull statistics and attacks and found by far that pit bulls were involved in the highest number of deaths and injuries not only by those aggressively trained but by friendly, family dogs their owners swore were docile pets. Also, there are dozens and dozens of firsthand videos showing these attacks, enough to make the point that pit bull aggression is much more prevalent than in other breeds regardless of training. ~~~~~ Thanks for reading this, and I guess this is a polarized issue much like so many other issues today.
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 honestly think it's the owner who trains them to be mean! And with that said I think it's so cruel it's not good! From my understanding and from other people I know they told me that they are the precious most wonderful glorious dogs you could ever own they're very friendly and they're very loving with a true heart for their owners. And it depends on the people that they're with who treats them wrong and trains them to be mean that's where that comes from I believe! 😢☹️

A lot of dogs are mislabeled as pit bulls. There’s very few people that own the real pit bull (Apbt). The Apbt has dog aggression but human aggression is not a trait of the Apbt. All of those dogs comes from a Game Stock yard and have Bloodlines. No Bloodlines No Pit bull

8:12 "The American Bully should not be confused with the several other bulldog breeds. And absolutely not of the pitbull terrier, even though...descended from him, as he has now been diluted heavily with other bulldog breeds"
Yet no evidence is given that this has made the American Bully any safer that other 'bulldog breeds."
This would also explain the defensive tone.
No evidence those 'other bulldog breeds' have any less tendency for UTFTF.
Indeed the "absolutely not of the pitbull terrier" American Bully, is quite capable of fatal maulings:

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.

Genuinely feel like some people need to stop beating around the bush about the APBT just because of what the breed as a whole goes through, yes it sucks and everyone wants change, but you simply CANNOT ignore the breeds history and genetics behind them as a whole. With the APBT terriers genetics, they were bred to fight, dog fights to be more exact. Which is why so many of them just can't be around other dogs, most of the time when you see a APBT be in a dog fight, they just ARE NOT gonna let go.. and do u know y..? Because that's what they were bred and trained to do from their history way back then. I don't get why people use their emotions so much to only pin point some things about the actual APBT, so they can make them seem like such a amazing dog that doesn't actually belong in their history.. APBTs will have the blood of the ones that were used back in the days for dog fighting, that's just how it is. There is no its, buts, or whatever. Yes it can be trained out of them, or it can be a temperament issue. But it's always gonna be within them, just waiting to be set off by some kind of trigger. Its the sad truth, but not saying they're all like that, when they aren't. Especially with families, but majority of the time you just cannot have them near other dogs. And yeah for these bully breeds. I'm heavily against them and thats my opinion and I won't ever support them or classify them as a breed in my own personal books. People only created those designer dogs for specific reasons. Money, fame, color, size/bone mass, something that they wish they got from the actual APBT but couldn't. So they went and designed their own breed. But that's just me
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.
Omg i love bassets
Very well said, Mark. Your description is spot on.
Yet, pitbulls attack more people that other breeds combined.
Thanks so much for that. You seem to have a very special connection with your pit bulls, and it's so good to hear how intelligent so many dogs are, and so responsive to your commands.
I always correct people if they refer to my XL American Bully as a "Pitbull", explaining the breed to them. I bought her from a breeder, and socialized her from an early age. 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. I exercise her 1-2 hrs most days. She is my companion, and I am fortunate to be retired, and she rarely is left alone. I love the breed, such great companions!
I'm amazed at how quiet they are, and so gentle. I've met several bullies, all sizes, all very well adjusted because they're well trained and given plenty of exercise.
❤️🐕
They can potentially be very dangerous if they're raised to be so . Too many real monsters are raising them to fight and they should be exterminated.
When they are raised to be the loving sweetheart they truly are they'll defend you until they're dying breath.
I agree, the monsters who are raising them to fight should be exterminated.
A bully is not a pitbull, I know because I owned pitbull terriers for 16 years and I now own a bully. Pitbull terriers are fantastic pets ❤I raised my kids with them. The tabloid press has blood on thier hands by demonising breeds.
❤ 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!!

Dogs and guns are not dangerous....the owners are. Disrespect and not handling either will result in injury and danger. I love shooting and log pits/bullys. They are just a dollop of love and affection :) x
Thank you and amen! I can’t stand when people; 1. Mis-breed any dog simply by looks, 2. Call every bully breed a “pit bull” without knowing the differences between bully breeds 3. 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.
So the dogs character is destroyed because of the things humans used them to do??? Says more about humans than dogs.
I've 5 bullys, 2 pittbulls, 2 staff's, 2 Jack Russell's, and 1 american heinze/Johnson mix.
The most aggressive dog is the jack Russell, the one that protects the home is the oldest pittbull.
My bullys don't give a fk about anything at all other than the people, they love attention, and love humans, all humans are seen S positive by the bullys, the pitts are more cautious of humans. Guess now I know why.
Pit bull terriers love children....They sure love biting them
Some pits make the best dog ever~~ gets along every person and every dog and Some Pitbulls do not get a long with Any Dogs/Animals Period ~~~ needs to be only dog [you’ll know around 1year old]or only in home pack. Pitbulls are not for everyone….. only for those who will put In daily time/training ~~~~
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.
Um, no.
@Mental Matt although I don't agree with the blanket ban in the sense of just measurements that can make various breeds "of type" there's alot of breeds that majority of people should not be able to own/buy, mainly because most people are morons.
@Mental Matt although tbh, people in the UK do what ever the hell they want anyway 🤷
I sell insurance and we cant insure any pitbull breed and bully also. But honestly only dogs i see attack other dogs or humans especially other dogs are pitbulls its allways the same problem sith them. So if you get them its your own fault when u cant get insurance and most owners are sadly not the smartest when i talk to them so maybe thats the problem.
People are basically idiots and letting some simpleton keep a Caucasian Shepherd is as ridiculous as keeping a loaded gun on the nightstand. I’d agree with you if owners had to pass a stringent course and licensing to own whatever dangerous dog...but most people can’t even tell time on an analogue clock🤦🏼♀️
Love the loveable comments but keep it 💯 they will try you as an owner at some point most times in play or feeding so you always have to be Master + responsible. Thus the extra you should do legally for this class dog. Loyal to their owners but under no delusion we who own to have own them have seen the statistics of Yang that comes with them. ❤
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.
Remember guys, just because 5% of dogs are pitbulls yet 65% of maulings are caused by them, it’s alwys the owner! Ignore the endless headlines about how they attacked without warning and they were such a good dog…🥴🥴🥴
I’ve always thought the BS Law was just that, “BS”. It just occurred to me, legislators usually like to create “blanket” laws to cover as much as possible, so why they suddenly decided to get specific doesn’t make sense to me 🤷🏻
I have an American XL bully and this video is so bias. You lost all credibility when you said "it's like the poor persecuted wolf" 🙄. Yes small dogs can be aggressive and attack but they're small dogs and won't cause much damage. It's like saying oh well you can't ban all tigers because of some irresponsible owners. Hmm well at the end of the day it's a tiger and if it flips then what/whoever is on the receiving end is screwed. At the end of the day size matters in dogs and XL bullys can't be compared to jack Russels, they're serious dogs with serious consequences if something goes wrong and it can go wrong quickly. Not everyone is Cesar Milan.
I had a male Pitbull that was an ex fighter at 120lbs I rescued when he was 3 yrs old. I was told they couldn't get matches for him because he was a quick killer in fights and he was to be put down. Unfortunately, I was the only person who could approach him in a loving manor due to his previous treatment. He was an angel towards me . I had to isolate him from other dogs but eventually became a sweet natured beast .
So good to hear, after all he'd been through. Well done you for your gaining his trust..
That's not a real American pitbull 120 pounds lol a male by ukc standard is 66 pounds there is a larger breed in the mix
Fighting dogs are naturally bred to be gentle to humans. Dogs on the other hand…
Great job !!! everything is trainable. People are lazy they cant even take care of themself but want to own a pitbull...
how can a pitbull reach 120 lbs
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.
Yes thank you for this episode, I see a lot of people mislabelong their bullies and mutts as pitbulls, which doesn't help their situation.

Putting that slash after Pitbull makes it look like you are saying they are the same.
Freedom is precious. So are the lives of people. Animals that have been bred for certain purposes will display them. That’s why we breed, why I bred animals. Dogs bred for fight and attack will act out their genetic potential. It may be possible to turn them into cuddling family dogs, but with their disposition, they remain a risk. It is always the human‘s fault, and be it only for breeding and owning them. If you control a source of danger and harm, you are liable for doing it right. If you fail, the dog has to be shot, and you go to jail for a considerable time. Simple as that. The face or maybe even the life of that girl cant be put in peril for someone fostering his ego with a fierce, brutal, dangerous dog. Pimps don’t own Chihuahuas. They own killer dogs. Therefore, their breeding and husbandry has to be regulated and controlled. Want a family dog? Own a retriever. Don’t try to master a pit bull terrier.
I lost count how many times Americans referred to my staffies as 'pits' when they saw photos.
Staffies are pits. Many AKC staffs are dual registered as pits with UKC

Staffordshire bull terriers are very different to American pit bull terriers.
Staffies are usually much smaller and only ever have dark eyes and a black nose, unlike pit bull terriers.
However, they were both used as fighting dogs in the fighting 'pit'.
@@brianmurphy8790 yet there are many dogs dual registered as both
@@personanon2879
I've got 3 staffs and know a couple guys with pits.
When you see them side-by-side the difference is clear.
I also know a few staff/pit x-breeds that could pass as both.
@@brianmurphy8790 and? So many dogs out there are dual registered as BOTH.
People still breed fighting lines. Not necessarily for fighting, but those lines are good for hog hunting. So the same lines used for fighting, are the same lines used for hog hunting.
Well since bullies come from the APT and the APT doesn't actually have a weight requirement as long as the dog is balanced. She needs to do more research on both breeds
Apt should be no more than 65lb so yes it has a weight limit muppet
In UK pits are illegal even ones with crossed with pits. So from what your saying Bullies are illegal in UK?
any dog put to sleep because of the breed makes me angry. Why not put to sleep dangerous wild animals etc.. You can have a bowa in the UK and there more dangerous than a pitbull. just because idiots own them don't make them dangerous breed nor should they be put to sleep. 90% of dogs you remove them from the idiots they become totally different pets.
The law shouldn't dogs but ban the owners of having the breed
Pitts are incredible, loveable and smart. Fantastic dogs.
I see bully and pitbull that is very good dogs and perfect thanks
Thank you for this video. When I was younger, I always exercised extra caution around pitbull terriers because of the stigma, but, after meeting and playing with well trained and cared for pitbulls of my husband's longtime friends, I have changed my perception of them. They are so sweet and loving.
Also, would you do a video on the chow chow? In my town in California, there is a lot of stigma about the breed as well. I was raised from birth with this breed in my house in pure bred and mixed dogs and I absolutely love them. They were the best dogs.

Yes, they are very loving and caring. Pitbull terriers have a heart and very intuitive of a person and their feelings. I am American Pitbull Terrier (Red nose) owner, (14 yrs old 7-5-22) I have had him since he was 3 mns old. JuJu walked up to me and my son out of all the other puppies like to say, take me. JuJu is a certified Emotional Support animal and he has really helped me when I have been sick, angry and helped stablized me to get strength to walk.
I’ve met some very nice drug dealers and cartel members.
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
The APBT The alpha of all dogs, Bloodlines too strong💪🏿💪🏿 Thank you for telling the difference between them and those mutt bullys
Almost any dog can be dangerous. Pibbles are very muscular and yeah can be dangerous. I’ve only had pibbles and I’ve not had the experience of my dogs being anything but babies.
After getting an apbt pup and owning him for about 6 months now.. I understand all the hype about them. Seriously the most affectionate and smart dog I’ve ever owned and been around.
Let give credit to who first started bullies bloodline Razoredge, gottiline, Dax in the 90s
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.
A Bully XL that was raised from a puppy killed a girl from it's family in Yorkshire a couple of days ago
