- Pitbulls are a well-loved breed among dog enthusiasts worldwide. They are known for their loyalty, athleticism, and friendly nature. However, when people talk about pitbulls, they're not always referring to the same breed. In fact, there are 15 different types of pitbulls that have varying characteristics and traits.
1. American Pitbull Terrier
The American Pitbull Terrier is known for being muscular, strong-willed, and courageous. They are eager to please their owners, making them one of the most loyal breeds. This type of pitbull requires moderate exercise and proper socialization and training to develop into a well-behaved companion.
2. Staffordshire Bull Terrier
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is often called the "Staffie" and is a smaller version of the American Pitbull Terrier. They are playful, active, and love to be around people. Staffies are easy to train but do require regular exercise to maintain good physical health.
3. American Staffordshire Terrier
The American Staffordshire Terrier is often confused with the American Pitbull Terrier, but they are distinct breeds. The Amstaff is typically larger than the Pitbull and has a more powerful build. They are intelligent and protective, making them great guard dogs. However, they do require early training and socialization due to their protective nature.
4. Bull Terrier
Bull Terriers have an egg-shaped head and are known for their unique appearance. They are energetic and friendly, making them great family pets. Bull Terriers require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy.
5. Miniature Bull Terrier
The Miniature Bull Terrier is a smaller version of the Bull Terrier, weighing only 20-35 pounds. They are playful and affectionate, making them great apartment dogs. Miniature Bull Terriers require daily exercise and socialization to prevent boredom and destructive behavior.
6. American Bully
The American Bully is a new breed that was developed in the 1990s. They are thick-bodied and muscular, making them ideal for people who want a larger pitbull. American Bullies are affectionate and loyal, but can be stubborn, so early training is essential.
7. Pocket Bully
The Pocket Bully is a smaller version of the American Bully, standing only 13-17 inches tall. They are energetic and outgoing but also enjoy relaxing with their owners. Pocket Bullies require daily exercise and socialization to prevent behavioral issues.
8. Classic Bully
The Classic Bully is another variation of the American Bully. They are shorter and stockier than other bullies, with a compact build. Classic Bullies are friendly and outgoing, but also require consistent training to prevent dominance issues.
9. Standard Bully
The Standard Bully is the largest variation of the American Bully, weighing up to 120 pounds. They are affectionate and gentle, making them great family pets. However, they require significant training and socialization due to their size and strength.
10. XL Bully
The XL Bully is the biggest variation of the American Bully, weighing over 120 pounds. They are muscular and athletic, making them ideal for people who want a large and powerful pitbull. XL Bullies are loyal and affectionate but require significant exercise and training to prevent aggressive behavior.
11. Blue Nose Pitbull
The Blue Nose Pitbull is named after its blue-gray coat and nose. They are friendly, loyal, and highly trainable, making them excellent family pets. Blue Nose Pitbulls require daily exercise and mental stimulation to maintain good physical and mental health.
12. Red Nose Pitbull
The Red Nose Pitbull gets its name from its reddish-brown coat and nose. They are loyal and intelligent, making them great companions. Red Nose Pitbulls require early socialization and training to prevent aggression towards other animals.
13. Brindle Pitbull
The Brindle Pitbull has a distinctive coat pattern that makes them stand out from other pitbulls. They are affectionate and loyal, but also require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy.
14. Gator Mouth Pitbull
The Gator Mouth Pitbull is known for its strong bite force and powerful jaws. They are loyal and protective, making them great guard dogs. However, proper training and socialization are required to prevent aggressive behavior.
15. Old Family Red Nose Pitbull
The Old Family Red Nose Pitbull is a rare breed that originated in Ireland. They are loyal and protective of their owners, making them excellent watchdogs. Old Family Red Nose Pitbulls require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy, as well as early socialization and training to prevent behavioral issues.
I have always found it interesting how many different shapes their heads have.. I have had APBT’s for about 25 years now and I have always preferred the slightly longer snout, taller more athletic build and no cropped ears. They’re all beautiful dogs though..
Look at old pics of dogs loads were apple headed loads were wedge shaped depended what worked best in the fighting pit , people today have no clue about the breed and all these types of dogs like XL bullys etc being called Pitbulls is ridiculous and wrong the American Staffordshire terrier and Staffordshire bull terrier Pitbull terrier are the same breed DNA proves it I've tried to educate Americans for years thankfully there's a few channels from the USA have actually listened ,47 years of researching as well amazing success in breeding these dogs I've learnt a hell of a lot and had some of the biggest old time Staffordshire bull terriers in the UK or American pitbulls if you want to call them that and I had a 93lb staffordshire bullterrier who was 4 years old its how you breed them.
Got it wrong, the classic bully is actually leaner muscle than the other bully's, closer to the true apbt. Its the only bully that doesn't look like to much bulldog or mastiff went into it
Well congrats y'all did mention one correct fact. Yes the red nose variation originated from Ireland.
I've been working with & breeding many different variations of pitbulls as well as bullies for about 20 years. Now there's one thing that's completely boggled my brain & that is when on earth did the "blue pit" get labeled as "blue nose pit"? This relabeling makes things a bit confusing since in my own experience the blue nose typically is only dominant when the coat colors are various shades of blue/white. I've seen blue brindle, reverse blue brindle, blue buckskin & all had blue noses. Years ago I had one red buckskin puppy that matured to have a green nose & muzzle but none of black/white, darker brindle or most variations of buckskin coats had anything other than black or red noses. It also blows me away how few know the true history of the blue pitbull. The blues are bullies that originally came from Germany & are naturally bigger boned heavier dogs.
Awesome bruvs 👍🏽👌🏽...
Right information 😊
American Pitbull terrier is one of the best loyal dogs you can own.
Owned 2 red noses 1 American staffy and 1 bull terrier. The bull terrier is easily the most dangerous of them all. Without any training they will protect anything they deem theres. Extreamly loyal animal. If your looking to get one and new to dogs or don't have time to spend on them please don't get one. Ours lived 14 years. And yes he did bite 3 people all on our property. He never bit us though.
Color has not one thing to do with aggressive behavior
My opinion,most of the 'pit Bull' animals are not for you if you are getting a puppy)dog for the 1st time
@@JessicaSimonson1976 if it makes you feel better the bull terrier was black. Why are you this way?
@@LuckyFoxes789 why am I what way? Smart enough to know color doesn't attribute to aggressive behaviour.
@@JessicaSimonson1976 where was color ever mentioned? You are just an ignorant woman.
All behavior traits apply to all pitbull types. They all are affectionate and loyal. They all turn on owners that don't love them and break their hearts. They all will die for you cause they love their owners til death do you part.
No such thing as “Pit Bull breeds.”
There is the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) or American Pit Bulldog and then there are OTHER BREEDS.
Stop lying.
And there is no such thing as an “XL Pit Bull”.
Channel is joke…
Nice one.!!!
My am staff is not a pitbull. The only pitbulls are apbt. I wish people would quit lumping all these dogs under the pitbull umbrella.
It's a pitbull too. Sorry... Not sorry! Who the fuck brags about having an Am Staff?😅😂😅
@@lyonahjudah1549 there not the same dog so ur response is ignorant and not necessary but thanks for the attention.
This is so hilarious.
A bully came from crossing a pit to a mastiff.
The micros game from crossing a Pitbull to a French bulldog.
At that moment you no longer had a pitbull you had a hybrid that as far as I'm concerned is a mutt.
If you have a pet and you tell me it weighs over 50 to 55 lbs tops I'm going to call you a liar and tell you you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
There are over 360 recognized dog breeds and almost all of them have been created by humans. Classically, pitbulls weren’t bigger than 50 lbs but things change 🤷🏻♂️
Did you know that when you cross a blue nose and a red nose that you get Purple Nose Pit . 😂
Stafford shire terrier is a great dog.
Thank God there are many people in this world that love all these gorgeous angels that fall under the 'Pit Bull' Umbrella,i hope it continues to become more difficult for ignorant people to Ban these angels with 4 paws,last Friday I had to put my Maxwell to sleep,he was 15 yrs old, Blue Nose Brindle,was everything to me and my family and we will never get over the day we had to say Goodbye For Now,we will see him again❤️🐕🦺

They look like cool dogs
Red nose always was and still is #1!
Only the real Irish red nose line which isn’t even a pit Bull terrier.
I hate when people clip the dogs ears, then are the first was crying when the dog get demonized.
There’s only 3, real lines all different from these are mixes with no real drive. England staffordshire Terrier ~ American staffordshire terrier ~ American pit Bull terrier ~ the rest are just mixed with no purpose in life but to imitate a none functional toy or giant bull dog with problems. Especially the Merle color those are not real pit bull colors.
There is only one breed of pit bull, the American pitbull terrier. These are Bully breeds not pitbulls
All the ones that says there is no such thing as pitbulls two others probably just learned that them self😂😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢😅😅😅
Pitbull is a breed and only one breed. No such thing as pitbull breeds hahaha 😅😅😅
Exactly. These people who upload these videos are very uneducated regarding the breed and believe everything that they read on google. The American pit bull is the only Pit Bull.
Lmaooo tellem again
Exactly.. it's only one breed..APBT.
I think you mean bull terrier breeds maybe 🤔
@@leedennis198 No it should be called bully type.
I have an XXL red nose bully
If its not an APBT its a mixed breed.
This is totally mixed up!!!
I have a mini "pocket" bully,but I'm told they are not pit bulls
@cMiikox2 whatever she may be considered she is the cutest little thing ever and I love her so much my girl thinks I love her more than her,I'm like BABE COME ON, ITS A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE,,. But she got that pit big head, with the small but muscular body,, not freakish muscular,but she is dope,with a nice dark brindle,,that's my baby
@grandchampionmayday4372How extensive is your knowledge on American Pit Bull's?
@grandchampionmayday4372 I live in Australia, Apbt's are a banned here for the last 15 years, and illegal to import. But apparently, there are still some dogs here from before the ban. Dogs here do not have pedigree papers anymore. I purchased a pit bull puppy a while back and he is now 5 and half months old, i did my research and i believe i have a real pit bull. But without pedigrees, you really can not know. How do you think i can determine his level of purity? What traits would you say that i should look for? And do you believe that after 15 years its still possible to find a genuine apbt even though they dont have pedigrees. Here in Australia we have to go purely by the visual and so it is left to the expertise of the person.
@@newforce5699 APBT has a standard look if its close to the APBT standard then it is an APBT but if its not you can argue that it is just an unregistered American Bully Classic. What happens if your dog is APBT btw?
@@swarmxclsv Well if that would be the case then he is definitely an APBT. To answer your question, if someone has a genuine Pit Bull they don't generally tell people in society that's its breed, they will say "American staffie" when the ban took place all pit bull owners went to register their dogs as amstaffs. Generally speaking if your dog doesnt create any disturbances or acts of violence the authorities won't bother you. If the dog does attack someone or something depending on the severity there are lawful penalties. in reality even if the dog does nothing wrong they can force you to desex the animal if they find out that you own one. The authorities here want the breed extinct basically.
Back pitbull
Xl bully is not a pitbull. American Staffordshire terrier is the same breed as a pitbull its the show version.blue and red nose are not a different type get your facts right the staffordshire bullterriers are the same breed DNA proves it thats it .not 15 different types utter rubbish.The English bull terrier is not a pitbull where did this channel get its information from and the American bully is a cross breed with different bulldogs in them .
😮
How about the female
You could have stopped at 1, 2, and 3. AmStaff and Pitbulls are same size originally bred off same stock just registered different by breeders. Think you're thinking the American Bulldog.
@Grand Champion May Day many Amstaffs still have some old bloodlines in history. They are just bred to be more show pedigree pitbulls with a much mellower name. One that doesn't date them to the fighting ring. The standards for size, height, and weight and colors pretty much same. The only difference is AmStaff has to have a dark nose. No red noses are permitted.but all lines and measurements are the same criteria. The whole argument they are a different breed is a wash....show pit, verse's working pit.
The Amstaff (American Staffordshire Terrier) and Pitbull (American Pit Bull Terrier) are similar dog breeds, but they are not the same dog. Both are terrier dog breeds known for their strong and athletic builds, and although they have common origins, the breeds have different physical and sometimes temperamental characteristics.
There are two main dog breeding and registration agencies that set the standards for the Amstaff and Pitbull: the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the United Kennel Club (UKC). The AKC only accepts the American Staffordshire Terrier, while the UKC accepts both the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier.
The standards set by the AKC and UKC for each breed are as follows:
American Staffordshire Terrier (Amstaff) - AKC Standard:
Head: Medium-sized, with a broad skull and prominent jaw muscles
Eyes: Round, low and set apart
Ears: Cropped or uncropped, set high and parted
Neck: Short, thick and slightly curved
Body: Deep chest, broad shoulders and strong muscles
Legs: Upright and parallel front legs, strong and muscular hind legs
Tail: Medium length and low attached
Hair: Short, hard and shiny
Color: Any color can be solid, parti, or mottled, but no more than 80 percent white.
American Pit Bull Terrier - UKC Standard:
Head: Medium-sized, broad and flat skull, prominent jaw muscles
Eyes: Round, low and set apart
Ears: Cropped or uncropped, set high and parted
Neck: Medium length, slightly curved and strong
Body: Deep chest, straight and muscular back
Legs: Upright and parallel front legs, strong and muscular hind legs
Tail: Medium length and low attached
Hair: Short, hard and shiny
Color: Any color can be solid, parti, or mottled, but no more than 80 percent white.
Although they have similar characteristics, the Amstaff and Pitbull are different breeds of dogs and each is expected to meet certain standards. Generally, the American Staffordshire Terrier has a heavier and wider build and displays a noble stance. The American Pit Bull Terrier has a slightly lighter and athletic build.
Both breeds are known to be intelligent, loyal and energetic dogs. With good training and socialization, both breeds can get along well with family members and other pets. However, both breeds have a strong hunting instinct and sometimes tend to be dominant with other dogs. Therefore, the importance of education and socialization is emphasized for both races.
As a result, the Amstaff and Pitbull are not the same dog, but they have similar origins and some common traits. Standards for each breed are set by the American Kennel Club (for Amstaff) and the United Kennel Club (for Pitbull), and both breeds are expected to conform to certain physical and temperamental characteristics.
@Jessica Simonson amstaff blood is ruffian california xpert tacoma crusader. Pitbull blood is eli bolio jocko redboy nigerino turtle buster jeep etc. Two different bloodlines and breed standards that have been separate for too long To be considered the same breed
@Grand Champion May Day all Jessica is missing to be the ultimate pittie expert is a picture of her cat as her picture
@@maddogsenglishmen8020 your talking about breeder bloodlines but there are other indicators besides those. The dogs; size, weight, measurements, and standards except nose are the same. Amstaffs must have a dark nose.....while a Pitbull can have light or dark colored nose. Amstaffs can't be all white. The bloodlines your speaking of often mixed other dogs into their bloodlines so there could be definitely a break in the pure bred pedigree lines. Even. If they were bred back to a pure Pitbull. This is why some pitbulls throw off color young such as brown or blue merle coats. These are recessive genes brought out by those breedings. Just as inbreeding lines caused some pitbulls to develop a host of allergies.
❤❤❤ BEAUTIFUL DOGS
