Ok, first my confession... I'm not a long time owner, or an expert on these bully type dogs. However I keep seeing the same conversations on this board over and over:

- my APBT is DA... whatever shall I do???

- "That's no APBT, its one of those damn AM BULLYS... you're not one of those damn punk kids are you???"

- Why are there so many stupid owners that can't handle this wonderfull breed as well as ME?

- Why isn't my "pit bull" a better guard dog??? I thought they were badass dogs???

----- etc etc etc

After reading a bit of this stuff, I can't help but ask:

Why choose this breed if you aren't seriously working your dogs? Any old bully-type shelter dog would suit most owners needs, so why the APBT? Better yet, why aren't breeders working to widen the divide between "game" APBT's and "pet bulls" of the AM Staff or Am Bully breeds.

If you're not hunting, pulling, or preserving/improving blood lines, what reason is there for having an APBT as opposed to a modern 'pet bull'?
