Truth or Wives Tale? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

This may sound like a silly question, but I would like to hear from some people 'In the Know', APBT breeders or someone who is knowledgeable about the breeds history and or genetics.

It was recently said to me that a pure bred APBT will always have 'some' white, on one, or all of their feet. Even if it is just the smallest amount on the toes. Is this true?

I'm gonna go with wives tale on this one. I've seen a lot of ABPT that the owners claimed were purebred and papered that certainly looked APBT and were solid black, chocolate, or brindle all over including their feet.

Amazing how quickly a story like the 'must have white' gets around. Nope. Nothing to it. Supposed to be a problem when I break a mirror also...

I hope you were not being sarcastic, I know I wasn't. I am not here to spread false information. It is a question purely for my own knowledge. I posed the question based on a statement that was made by a relative.

Never really thought much about it. Take a look at the avatars of those who've posted thus far LOL
Maybe in general, those with some white far outnumber the solids. But it's still a matter of genetics.

Star had white on his paws and a lot of dogs i see on here do have white on their paws. I don't think that every apbt does though

This.

I have had a few with no white. So yeah. Seems like one stupid rumor to begin with.

It sounds like a wives tale, but when I thought about it just now, almost all the dog's I have come across in peds alone (100+ dogs) do seem to carry some white, even if it is a splash, slash, or spot. Usually, the dog would carry white on their paws, face, nose bridge, or chest, if the rest of the fur color was of a solid coloring typically.
