    At least there is honesty. We know what the pit bull is for, and what it does and we know its aficionados are passive or active proponents of dog fighting. I prefer the honesty to the lies of pit bull advocates who try to argue its a beagle with a bad owner. But being entertained by dogs fighting seems near psychopathic to me.

      It's not entertainment it's for money. You look at the two fighters, place your bet and they put them in the "pit" to fight. Hence the name pit bull. I mean, they're so ugly it's ridiculous. "In those days they will call good bad, and bad good." Well, the day has arrived.

    Somewhere i have a picture of me around 2 yrs old crawling around a pitbull lol...that our family had named chico...i just now turned 67 yrs old and am proud to say that I still own pit bulls, the best breed on the planet. Proud to say my house has never been robbed, never been robbed/assaulted as long as I've had a pit bull by my side😊

    Sick video and love the honesty of the interviewers, I put my pitbull in obedience school when she was a pup and it was a great choice. I have had a few pits but now that I’m a lil older I wanted to make sure commands were down when I am in public with her. Pit bulls are badass for sure

    I just adopted a 4 year old ABT mix. He’s been pretty good so far and very attached to me. Only have him three weeks but he’s learned to sit and just started stay. Next will be down. When on walks he goes crazy when he sees dogs or people. I watched a trainer on utube and he pointed out the difference between aggressive and reactive. My daughter came over with her two dogs. They met and had a blast playing the entire time together. Then I saw a teacher walking to her car when we were on a walk. She said he was cute even when he was crazy barking at her. I asked if she would come to him and give him a pet after explaining he wasn’t aggressive. She did and he acted perfectly. So I guess and hope this trainer is right. This boy is 4 years old but acts like a 4 month old. He isn’t even up to my knees and weighs 45 pounds. He is STRONG!! If he was 5 or 10 pounds more I don’t think I would be able to handle him. I’ve owned GS and Dobermans. My last dog was the love of my life Pit Bull/Boxer mix. He passed last October at 13 from cancer. Great friendly fun dog. After seeing this video I’m wondering if I made a mistake adopting him with knowing now he’s a fighting dog. He listens to me (most of the time) and loves to cuddle on the couch and sleeps next to me in bed. Now I’m just wondering. 😔❤️🙏🏼

    My real Dad had a wonderful, super fun dog when I finally met him. I didn't know my Dad until I searched for him when I was 13 years old. I got my first Pit Bull when I was 19. She was a dark red brindle with green eyes. Very beautiful. She was also duel registered. I took her to shows where she always won 1st place! My mom fell in love with her and I was moving. I didn't want to break their special bond, so I gave her to my mom. She had rare bloodlines that were very sought after. Komazinski. We agreed to breed her 1 time, so I could have a puppy from her litter. I was there for the birth of the puppies and as soon as my dog came out, I knew he was the one. He was marked like a Boxer. White gloves and boots. White chest, a white collar and his hair was always so soft. He was the Alpha Male of his litter. I wanted to see the intelligence of a dog. So after I taught him his basic Obedience training, I started his other training. He knew the command," Hold It" and that made it easy to teach him how to answer the phone. This was in the 80's. My Grandma gave me a Concole TV. I tied a shoelace on the pull on knob and put it in his mouth and said, turn on the TV and I pulled him back. By his 3rd try, I was no longer assisting him with anything. He would just do it. Then I removed the shoelace. He would count how many fingers I held up. I could put lunch meat either on his nose or in his mouth and say hold it. Then when I said OK, he would eat it. I also taught him to get my cigarettes, non-menthol, by smell. I would hide them, then ask him to go get them. He would bring them to me and I would say, how am I supposed to smoke this and he'd go get my lighter. He would also get Dad's cigarettes that were menthol. He could clime up about 15 ft straight up a tree and he would grab onto a high branch and just hang and shake, like he did with a car tire at my house. He was such a total ham!! I really socialized him, esespecially when he was young. With small children, people in uniforms, Cat's, other dog's, everyone that I could. He really loved everyone. He had mad ❤️. We had a large pond behind our house and he loved to swim. He would go under the water and come up with a fish flopping in his mouth. Swimming is also such good exercise for them too. He was my best friend in the world! Anytime we got company, he always thought that they were there to visit him. He would go to the refrigerator and open the door and bring them a beer or a soda. Then he would just start performing all of his tricks. Pit Bull are very loving and very loyal also extremely intelligent. They are excellent with children. He used to allowed the small Children to ride on his back. All of the neighborhood Children would come to the door and ask to walk him or come in and play with him. I had a 1989 Toyota Truck Blue Force. It had all of the Chrome on it. It had a push bar on the front of it and I would have a harness on Hookman and take him to the middle school parking lot and he would pull the truck all around. After we were done, we decided to walk him around the track. He loved 3 things. The Skateboard, ball and Frisbee. They were having soccer ⚽️ practice. He usually walked were there was no tension on the leash and never pulled, until that day. Hookman saw that soccer ⚽️ ball and just about lost his mind!! He pulled really hard and ran out onto the soccer field and those poor parents were probably thinking, this Pit Bull is coming for our kid's. But, he snatched up the ball and popped it. I apologized and offered to pay for the ball and they didn't want the money, but they let him keep the ball. He was so proud of himself. He was that once in a lifetime dog, that I was so blessed to have. I still miss him. 😢

    A fine video for a mighty fine breed with a long history they have been forged by. First it was a gripping/catch dog for hogs and cattle. Then, folks started using them as warring (fighting) dogs against different animals. Now, we see them in different manner of work and sports. But the essence of these dogs first and foremost is a worker. Regardless of what it is, you can bet they will give it their all and aim to please.

      @@naimjacobs2372 That is true. The purpose of these dogs throughout their long history has primarily been to fight, and the fights have taken many different forms. When they caught a hog or a wayward bull, they fought to subdue the hooved creature. When they were pitted against a bear that was chained, they would fight the beast. When they were pitted against each other, they would fight. Folks call these things different names (catch work, baiting, scrapping, etc.) but they are all essentially fighting.

      @@Swell_CharacterOne can argue that catching and fighting are not the same.
      Catch Dogs (The Old English Bulldog) are bred to bite and hold on to large game long enough for the hunter to dispatch it. You’re trusting the dog to not let go of it’s bite to regrip or find a better part of the animal to bite.
      Fighting dogs(Bull and Terrier) are bred to win fights. Meaning they’re constantly moving and switching areas to attack. From head, to leg, to stifle.
      Look at the Dogo Argentino, for example. It was specifically created to be a catch dog. Had catching and fighting were practically the same, we would be hearing of a fair amount of Dogo Argentino’s earning titles such as Champion, Grand Champion, and Double Grand Champion in the dog fighting world.

    I just had to put mine down a month ago after 15 yrs. She was a american pit with chow. She was intelligent and house trained herself from a pup. At 4 months she took on two coyotes and whipped thier ass. She had my back but had my back and never had to question that. Every command I gave She did. She would try anything a human would do including climbing ladders and going down because she always wanted to be close to me always. She was spoiled and had a vet that I spent a bundle on maintaining her life. Miss her alot and house isn't the same. Looking for another with her same qualities and the type of breeds that was in her blood including spotted purple tongue.

    So wonderful to see Richard Stratton on here!!! The man speaks truth and is an outstanding advocate for this breed! We who are in the APBT world know just what he is speaking of!!! I was full of chills watching this documentary!!! My hats off to you, Mr. Stratton, for coming forth, as a True Dogman, who loves this breed, hence the statement, "Another thousand years!!!" Well spoken words! To all the dogmen, dogwomen, dogfamilies, kids included, know their past, respect them today, and protect their future! I, too, have met many of these dogmen, women, and their families, including the dogs! Education, knowledge, training, experience, which comes in time, and dedication (from the start), that lasts for a multitude of years, is of the utmost importance with this ABSOLUETLY FANTASTIC, LOYAL, & LOVING BREED!!! I have loved this breed since meeting a dog named "Debo" back in 2004 and choosing one of his first sired females, "Element", and the rest is history! Many great people and great dogs have come and gone since then, as this is part of life, but we have learned from them and taken what they taught us to continue this wonderful world of "The Bulldog". Stand up for something, or fall for anything... Hello to the A D B A Family, their people and clubs across our beautiful country, coast to coast, border to border, and globally! We honor this breeds' true standard and take great strides to protect them. I love these dogs and must admit, they are a part of me, my life, they are my family, and like so many others would say: "This is American Pit Bull Territory!". ML to everyone globally who produce OUTSTANDING bloodlines and fight to protect this breed!!! (I have two at my feet!!!) KOS!!! ❤❤❤one standard kept on show grounds: no dog aggressive humans, no human aggressive dogs... js... ML
