Ive owned three APBT. One was red haired with red nose. Another was Black withe gold veins in the hair when in the sun and a white chest and black nose. My current is a white haired with brown markings and a red nose. Guess what they are all the same breed American Pit Bull Terriers. Not different breeds just because of the different hair and nose colors. So the kid was right.

Right! Now if the kid said "bully breed" then I would have educated him on all the different types of bully breeds out there. Because yes, an APBT is definitely a bully breed.

Very cute! I've had a couple kids do the same thing, and sadly even less adults then kids whom were correct. Often times I got asked if I had boxers! Boxers have smush faces compared IDGI? Ive also had people say "Gee I never seen a boxer with a tail before?!" ha ha cause its not a damn boxer.

I hate to rain on anyone's parade, but technically there are MANY different types of "pit bulls". I don't care if the kid is 5, I'll educate as best as I can. My friend's children (ages 5, 3, and 2) know that MJ is an American Pit Bull Terrier and Murphy is an American Bully. Her 5 year old just had me bring MJ into class for "Show and Tell". He said she was the best dog in the world, because she was an AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER (exact words). He wanted me to bring Murphy along, but he's still a bit rambunctious to be a model citizen, so he settled with bringing in pictures. I think it was the first anti-BSL speech I've ever heard from a kindergartener. Brought a tear to my eye, just about.

Definitely agree. People need to get off their high horse and realize in the eyes of BSL, there are MANY types of "pit bulls." We need to fight for all types of "pit bulls" instead of trying to seperate the term. Because nobody gives a crap about the different breeds right now.

and may I ask is Logan a registered APBT?

[no02rSx2]

Really? Then what is the point of using this tool so people can identify the REAL pit bull?

I do not appreciate hearing about pit bull attacks when the dog that does the attacking is anything but.

No he is not.

And you said he is a pit bull. How do you know he isn't an amstaff mix? or an ambully mix? If you say the only dog that should be called a pit bull, is the APBT. Then you shouldn't have called your dog a pit bull, and he isn't a pit bull. That is the exact reason why people should get over it and start working towards ending BSL, together.

Then my bad I have a mutt. I apologize.

Well according to your way of seeing "pit bulls", yeah, you're right. I personally don't think it's a good way to look at things.

[no02rSx2]

That is your opinion and we will have to agree to disagree.

I disagree... Moto is an AmStaff and by that regard he could enter Australia while all pit bulls get denied. This makes the two VERY separate to me. As far as ambullys go- that's a cluster f*ck

I dont see the problem with her telling the boy that her dog is a pitbull, it didnt do the breed any harm. Its not as if her dog was hanging off this little boys arm or ripping up kittens in front of him so how does it effect BSL in a bad way?

She said the only dogs to be called "pit bulls" should be the APBT. Her dog isn't an APBT so why is she calling it a pit bull? If you have an opinion on something, you shouldn't contradict yourself.

Well an opinion doesn't stand strong when it's contradicted by the person who gave it.

there is only one dog with pit bull in the name, so there are not many different kinds of pit bulls... just ignorant folks who like to use the term for things that are not pit bulls... there is only one kind of apbt... the others are just bully breeds... so do not worry... you did not rain on anyones parade....but then again, I am not much into parades anyway....

Hum a pit is a pit.... and blue or red or what ever dosnt matter but often shows you how little they know about pits!!! in my opnion... as far as there only being one cind of pit i really have so say i dont aggree!!!! Back in the day maybe a pit was a pit but not anymore we have bully, pockets, Am staff ect and yes these dogs all came from pits and pretty much are pits but dif if that makes since.... cinda like saying there 5 white people in this room yes were all white but your german, in rushin ect so its a fine line in if you will!!!!

[Vokbeelllicky]

She said the only dogs to be called "pit bulls" should be the APBT. Her dog isn't an APBT so why is she calling it a pit bull? If you have an opinion on something, you shouldn't contradict yourself.

Whats to say her dog isnt an APBT? I realise it doesnt have papers, but my dog doesnt have papers either and i still call him an Amstaff because thats what i got him as and i really have no reason to believe otherwise because he looks like an Amstaff.

This is a little kid who obviously took pride in the fact that he could tell one kind of dog from another, why burst the poor things bubble by saying "No actually hes a mixed breed" Kids dont take that kind of thing as educating, they just get embarrassed. Its not as if she was lying, and its not as if it was someone offical or anything that she was telling. Im pretty sure this kid didnt give two shits about papers lol.

[GuitarLoverBe]

if you talking about the am bully is a type of pit bull your wrong there is only one kind of pit bull and that is the APBT a am bully is a am bully the other so called types of pit bulls are mixes

LOLOLOLOL o wow.... where do you think the pitbull came from??? it was breed from all cinds of dif dogs which would today make it called a mutt, but they gave it a name called it a breed and kept breeding it.. so how dose breeding a pit to make it smaller or bigger like a bully them maybe breed it back to a full pit but now with size... how dose that make this dog a mutt and only american pit ter the only real pit???? if thats the case shoot thats fine with me cause on the real note BULLIES are better minded dogs then your average american pit ter.... o and the average american pit ter is the very same dog people keep says they get attacked by so keep your simple american pit ter and all keep my great bullie either way you dont hear about bullies attacking people nor are bullies mutts, and just the same with pockets!!!!!

[krasniyluch]

If there are more than one kind of Pit Bull, then That means the King Shepherd,Shiloh Shepherd,White Shepherd,and Belgian Malinois,Tervuren,Laekenois,and Groenandael are all German Shepherds.We know that these are separate breeds despite the similarities to the GSD.
The exception would be the separating of the 4 Belgian Sheepdogs into different breeds,because occasionally you will find pups of each variety in a litter no matter which standard the parents fit(i.e., a Groenandael in a Malinois breeding,a Lakenois in a Tervuren breeding,etc.I believe the FCI registers all Belgian Sheepdog varieties as one breed due to this tendency)

But anyway,way to go for that kid!Smarter than the politicians that think they know about APBTs.

The baby, Logan, and I went out for our daily walk today and we encountered a few boys, about age 10. One of them asked if he could pet Logan and I said it was fine. As he was petting Logan he said "he is a pit bull right"? I told him he was and another boy came up and said "what kind of pit bull is he"? The boy that was petting him said "he is a pit bull there aren't different kinds". I told him, "Yes, you are correct". I was just so happy to hear that little boy say that! Imagine a young boy having more common sense than adults that insist a pit bull with a red nose, or blue nose is actually a variation of a pit bull.

[igs00r]

Aww that is great! I would want to hug him too.
