Thanks for the information guys. I do not take anything people say personally. I just like how those game bred Pit Bull look and the size of them. I think the Americam Pit Bull like the "blue" are too big, stocky and over weight. Blue is not a breed, it is a color. Not all blue dogs are stocky and over weight. The ones you are thinking of are actually American Bullies, which is a newer breed that used a mix of APBT and other breeds. Many American Bully breeders heavily tout the blue coat as a clever marketing ploy to get people to think they are getting a rare dog. The gene that causes the blue coat is recessive, just like blue eyes in humans. Search for 'Razor's Edge' and you find plenty of info on American Bullies and the controversy surrounding them. It sounds to me like you don't understand the whole 'pit bull' "breed" thing. 'Pit Bull' alone is not a breed. It is a generic umbrella term, like 'retriever' or 'hound' that encompasses many different breeds which share some similar characteristics. American Bulldogs, American Staffordshire Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, English Staffordshire Terriers, American Bullies, and Bull Terriers (I probably missed some, too). The body style that you describe is that of the American Pit Bull Terrier (Chinaman was an American Pit Bull Terrier). This is the breed of dog that you are looking for. They come in many different colors (including blue), and none of those colors are a separate breed. They do look like a better guard dog then a chinaman or Jeep breed but I think their weight and stockiness hinder their performance. A tempermentally correct, sound APBT is a lousy guard dog. They are very people friendly. Although they may bark to alert you to strangers, do not expect one to protect your house or belongings as a guard dog would. It won't happen. Just to let you know I am not thinking of getting a Pit bull as a gurad dog. I want another dog in my family to be my companion. I run alot, about 4 miles a day and I run pretty fast. I would love it if my bulldog could run with me. I think that a Pit bull or a staffy would have a good enough physical performance or even better then be able to run with me. Let me know what you guys think. The APBT is a very athletic dog. It would make a great jogging companion. Belladonna Kennels, why would you think that Staffy would have more DA then Pit Bull? From what I have read online, Staffy are called the nanny dog and I would think they be called the nanny dog for no reason. They are called 'nanny dogs' because of their lack of human aggression. They love children especially and are great companions for people with families. I am also aware that they too are bully breed and can have DA but from what I have read it is far less then a Pit Bull or maybe its just the bad story of Pit Bulls that have leaked out? Pit bulls are a bully breed. I'm not quite sure what you are saying here, but any of the bully breeds are prone to DA. Anything that is called a 'pit bull' is a bully breed.
