8:46 i’ve had Pitbulls and Staffy bull terriers practically all my life. I started with the American Staffordshire terrier that my son brought home that nobody wanted.
She was a brindle, and then my son’s girlfriend got a gray pitbull, and when they no longer could keep the dogs I adopted them. As the years went by I kept adopting the Pitbulls. I’ve had them for many years, and I’m always so sad when they die.
They made me so happy to have them part of the family. They were wonderful loving family dogs, so as I got older and I became unable to walk anymore, I bought a golf cart and my recent staffy bullterrier runs beside it as I drive. He is so happy and lovable, he wants me to do this every single day and I if the weather is good we will go. They are the best breed of dog I have ever wanted. My recent staffy’s name is Jax. ❤
I’ve also just adopted a handsome blue staffy aged 3yrs….it was my partners sons…he got the dog when he was with his ex…and now there separated and also he has just got a job working away…I’ve adopted him 😃👍…he is called blue…and he is a blue breed staffy….we go out walking 5 nights a week and 2 nights a week I take him out running beside me on my bike …he is like having a hyper active child 😂…I love him to bits
One other similarity with both breeds, is they both look like Seals 🦭 when you put your hands over their ears. 🤩
😊👍
So true this 😍🥰
I'm not sure this applies, but we're talking about ears. Cookie's left ear stands up. Her right ear flops to the side. It's part of her charm! LOLOL!
My iPhone identified my old Max as a “Sea Lion.” No joke...
😂 So true, when I scratch mine’s neck he put his head all the way which makes him look even more like a seal. I’m just waiting on him start making seal sounds.
Rooster : I got my Staffy as a pup. She has turned me into a walking machine. At the same time enjoying her company . She is 8 months now and I have lost 18 lbs. feeling great and loving her every minute
That is awesome, congrats! I'm getting my Amstaffy puppy in October once he's old enough to go home. I've struggled with depression and motivation to exercise and I've put on a considerable amount of weight since COVID. I'm expecting my pup to really help me lose weight and gain motivation! I'm so excited I can hardly wait.
@@VARY78 I just wanted to let you know that you will have to be patient with your Staffy. You need to bring him around people early as well as other dogs . Start walking at your pace . Try to go to different places Your Staffy will be with you each step of the way . Good luck . Do t give up ! If you put in the time , you will accomplish your goals
@@alejandroze8454 Thank you! I appreciate you and your kind words. I actually work with animals so I can take the pup to work with me every day! He will experience so many new sights, smells, people, other animals (cats, dogs, even bunnies!) and will be well socialized. I've got a trainer picked out and I have coworkers who are especially educated in dog behavior as a bonus! I cannot wait! It's so exciting I can't stop talking about it to the point where I'm probably annoying people lol.
@@VARY78 good luck Jaime with your new friend . Know that they tend to be a bit stubborn. You just have to maintain focused on him and he will start paying attention. Let me know how you are doing with him down the road . Good luck you will be the happiest yet !!
@@alejandroze8454 Absolutely! Thank you so much!
I have a AKC registered Staffy, female, 6 months old and a solid 25lbs. intelligent, affectionate, loyal and my grandchildren LOVE her - pound for pound, one of God's best gifts to the dog world. (Kudos) 😇
Staffys are my favourite dog breed. Great personalities and temperament
I adopted my staffy 6 months ago, he looks exactly like the one from the picture! He’s such a sweet lil guy!
I could never make my dog live outside and not be allowed in the house, I even let my dog sleep on the bed.
Well done joe you did a good job of showing your enthusiasm just as Will does 💪💪
I have a 2 year old female red nose pit bull , she is probably the most affectionate dog I’ve ever owned and I’ve had lots of different breeds , just loves people
This channel keeps getting better!
I absolutely love STAFFIES they are such affectionate dogs ,they are like teddy bears ,mine follows me like a shadow .
Mine is sprawled out next to me while watching this
@@AdamBiggers81 Lol! Mine too!!:)
When I was 8, I found 3 abandoned stafffy puppies in the alley. I took them home, and they all grew up to be beautiful and strong. We kept the boy and rehomed the two females to family. The Boy was named Chulo and he was an absolutely monster. He was so muscular and had stamina for days. He used to pull me on rollerblades for hours. He onced faught two loose dogs that ran at me when we were on one of our walks. He did not let them get close to me and absolutely destroyed the other two dogs. One was a Rottweiler and the other was some sort of Shepherd mix. He died at around 12 from health issues.
Great job dude.
Very supportive of the ethos of Fenrir.
Thank you :)
If you are into obedience , parcour or trick training, staffies are amazing learning machines. It's extremely easy to build up their drive and focus combined with a high willingness to please and bidability.
Thank you so much! I'm looking to adopt an amstaff from a shelter, but they have her listed as a pitt. My family has owned pit bulls, German Rottweilers, and shi-tzus my whole life, so when I took the amstaff home for a dog visit day, she acted NOTHING like the Pitts I've owned in the past, so I started doing research and I am so thankful I now know I can register her as an amstaff, (my apartment managers are assholes to pittbulls) I can't wait to go get her!!
AWWWWE❤❤❤THEY ARE THE BEST!! And Very smart! My Blaze Boy knows his toy colors ..but I'm sure he'll figure Anything out..with treats involved 🤣
3 weeks ago I rescued a American pitbull ,they had a dogo listed as a pitbull lol
We have a staffy, brindle, she is so attached to my husband that I know if something would happen to one the other would not make it. She will be 3 in April. We got her at 10 weeks and even then she would make him go to sleep with her every night around 10. Bailey just had a litter of 10 puppies on December 13th, the daddy was a pit, gorgeous. She has one that looks just like him. Anyways, my question is what should I go with, a Staff Pitt Bull or just say half and half?
Thank you so much for all you are doing to educate us! I"ve had what I thought where pitbulls for my companions for many years to now question whether they may have been staffordshire terriers or pitbulls? I guess it doesn't really matter since everyone that I've come in contact with has become the love of my life! They truly are fantastic family loving companions. I think my pup who is soon to be brought home is close to 70 lbs is probably more in the pitbull range. Your videos are helping me to know what I may be up against, since I've been told he needs some guidance and direction to put it mildly! LOL
Thank you!
I came to this video to learn more about the differences between both breeds and actually got that information from an actual person and not a robot voice saying the obvious over and over.
It's also pleasant to hear someone talk about american bulls without just calling them killing machines and talking about the ACTUAL problem of bad owners.
Every dog is wonderful and different in its own way. And people need to learn how to accommodate their dog with training instead of just buying it and just staring at it all day.
I've breed pitbulls and staffies. I adored my Pitbulls, but they need way more attention. If you take them out in public, you must always be aware of what your dog is looking at. I never had a bad experience with the pitbulls, but that's because i was always on my guard. And I spent lots of time training them.
Staffies have become my favorite, by far. I have property, but I can leave them outside all day and they never go past the boundaries. We have hundreds of sheep, on the otherside of the fence, but they never bother with them. We have several horse on the other side, but again, the staffies aren't phased, and simply socialize with the horses. Going up to the fence to say hello. Staffies will eagerly play all day, or, just lay about in the sun, or the shade. They are great with my grandkids, and put up with anything. My oldest dog (whom I've spent 12 years with is the smartest dog I've ever seen). He follows a dozen hand signals, and knows hundreds of words and commands. I've also breed blue and red healers, of which I had some very smart dogs, but no smarter than the staffie. The difference is the healers would bite my kids when they were toddlers. I much prefer the trusted staffie.
Awesome.
Staffordshire bull terrier is more my type of dog thank you for the video it really helped
OMG!! Thanks for this, so many of my fellow Americans hate it when I say English Staffy because they think it’s the exact same as a Pitbull.
The problem is that "pitbull" seems to mean 2 things in America. It can mean "American Pitbull Terriers," but that's usually only among dog enthusiasts. The second meaning is "pitbull-type," which means all dogs of a certain appearance. I'm betting less than 1% of America's "pitbulls" are registered Pitbulls, but the second meaning has taken hold. I'm glad you're educating your friends, because dogs keep dying due to the "pitbull-type" use of the word.
Imagine if all the so-called pitbulls in shelters were just labeled as mixes or cross-breeds, instead of an age-old scareword that has been hyped up by the media for decades.
Easy misconception. And a common one. In America they are still to be considered pitbull breed due to AKC registration. But we've had both breeds and cam easily tell the difference. Wonderful breeds altogether.
@@JWildberry They are both strong bloodlines..from the Original Pitbull from England.( the Bull and Terrier ..Old English Bulldog ).the Staffordshire Bull terrier...the Term Bull refers to Bull baiting...( you put a dog in the Pit to bait the bull Hence Pit Bull) Both have baiting qualities..strong necks ..jump high onto a rope ..shake ect. Unfortunately Pit Bull is a type of dog..thats just History..and the US hate the blanket term..as a lot get mistaken for Ampt.
Respect.. I'm from the Netherlands and love your channel. Finally a explanation that's accurate after all the bullshit about these great dogs
I’ve owned a Staffy and now an American pitbull. Great experience with both. A few tussles with other dogs. Very cool around people. Easily excited, not aggressive tho.
You're a good owner and trainer!
Do u think a 14 year old could raise one train it
Its funny how I got my Staffordshire bull terrier around the time you made this yt account :) Id be happy to see another video of how to stop him pulling with less theory and more practice tips
I've had Pitbulls and Staffies, not a lot between them. Choke chains, back in the day (sorry), halties and harnesses had little effect in stopping them pulling. Sooo, back to basics. The leash is a command, dog sits at your side, leash is attached while the dog stays in position and the step forward is the visual command to walk at heel backed up with the verbal command. When (if) the dog is walking at heel I let the slack leash touch the shoulder, it reinforces the correct position. To get to this point I bore the dog into obedience. When it loads the leash up I give a soft verbal rebuke and gentle tug on the leash. Inevitably that fails so it's back to sit and heel. When the dog ignores the rebuke it's sit, stay, heel. Rinse repeat. A short walk can last a long time but I've managed to get every dog to heel on a slack leash with this slow and patient method.
A pocket full of high value treats helps a lot if you walk a measured distance and reward the heel at the end.
pretty much interesting video. Thanks 😉
Hours to rip apart? Bruh, mine takes minutes. However they aren't as mouthy as other dogs. The chewing and nibbling can be easily controlled and only lasts a few short period of their puppyhood. True, they aren't meant to be outdoors. They just love sticking to their human. Two pit owner here.
i have a staffy cross pit so best of both worlds
That’s very unhealthy an very stupid you shouldn’t cross breed a dog it could kill them
I love staffs they are so friendly
I love Staffys! I rescued one and he's the best! Easy to train once you establish trust and provide for their needs. We are best buds and have been from the start. All I did was offer to play with him and we did for less than an hour. Took him home and after a short period of checking out his new home nestled up to me and went to sleep. Now I don't know what I would do without him. He's very attentive and eager to please has a moderate prey drive and has helped with some vermin on the farm. His favorite prey are Pheasant and Partridge which he has yet to catch not for lack of trying, it's so interesting to watch him stock the birds. I think he would make a great hunting dog but most of all he's great companion.
Thanks for this!
You're so welcome!
Thanks, this explains a lot for me. I have a mix between the two breeds. My son called him "Keg", thinking he'd be more stocky & barrel-like, but he's more like the pitbull terrier...lean, muscular & needs a lot of exercise. He has all the other traits you mentioned in both breeds...beautiful, but very needy. He is my 3rd child 😅
I got a 1 year old angry ans scared dog... He was one year old.... Now he is 9 years old... my baby... just pure love!!!!
Before 1935 our uk dogs looked the same as irish and American dogs dna and RNA testing will tell you they are the same breed.The irish and English took our dogs to the USA.The Pitbull Staffordshire terrier Staffordshire bull terrier are the same .There are breeders in the south of the uk that have lines going back 160 years and the dogs look the same not show standard they look like pitbulls old time Staffordshire bull terriers.The irish have kept the Staffordshire bull terrier the same as the American breeders .In 1956 to 57 30 English Staffordshire bull terriers were brought over to the USA for bigger heads and chests for the show dogs.Most channels give you wrong information.None show bred Staffordshire bull terriers can be up to 70 80lbs here in the northeast England theres loads.Ive had Staffordshire bull terriers up to 93lbs at 4 yr old and in the 90s i had bred the biggest tallest old time Staffordshire bull terriers or American pitbulls people call tbem.
I,ld like to hear your explination about the American bully xl Atwell. It's actually the first right and accurate explination I've heard and the same story I so desperately try to tell the people that are interested in buying a bully bred dog. Well spoken and absolutely correct. Respect and shared several times. Keep on the good work
We have a staffy we rescued 6 years ago and hes the best! He loves my autistic daughter and is so good with her. I'd never have another breed now
My pit bull didn't require much exercise but we played and took walks.
I trained her in Nylabones and she never bothered my stuff.
We did pet therapy at a nursing home and a library. Everybody loved her and vice versa.
She was pretty much perfect.
You are absolutely right. Had both breeds Staffordshire is better with children.
I ❤ Lola (Staffordshire bull terrier x pitbull) with every ounce of my heart and soul. Dont know what il do when she isnt around. The most beautiful pure soul
I said it before and then I’ll say it now this channel is the best on TH-cam
Harshid P sooo truee other dog channels
Like top 10 ScArIeSt dogs aren’t even informative they are just saying their Opinion
Harshid P ik I cant understand why those channels even have1 million subscribers THERE ARENT INFORMATIVE
Thank you for the support!
I have a staffy lab mix she is amazingly sweet, loves to cuddle and about loves kids and other dogs. She hates be left alone. Although she can be stubborn sometimes and loves to destroy her toys she is a joy to be with. The only issue i have is she isn't a fan of walking. She will walk to the house next to ours and put on her breaks and there is no moving her farther without dragging her.
It all makes sense now..my staffy has basically eaten my whole house, LOVES TO CUDDLE, & VERY much a hunter !! But he's really just a 75 lb " lap" dog 🥰
@Harry Bogaev Blaze just weighed in at 88.7 lbs now 😲..from eating my whole house 🤣
75 what?
You dont have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier or an American Pit Bull Terrier. You have something else.
Staffordshire Bull Terriers dont get that big. You gotta mutt
@Ernest Jackson. You're completely right.
I have two SBT, a mother and daughter.
They are both at the maximum size and weight if you go by the breed standard but people often remark about how small they are!
@@paulfletcher3998 MY Blaze Boy weighed in at 88.7lbs about 2 months ago 💪
I have a pit staffy mix and she is the best dog ever! So incredibly sweet, always down to snuggle but also very stubborn haha she is an angel and so well behaved and so good with people, kids and other dogs.
I have a pit staffy mix too (with 12% Chihuahua!). I got her as a rescue pup & they said she was a Rhodesian Ridgeback, lol. I did her DNA & found out I'm a proud pit mama. She's 50% Staffy, 25% Am pit bull. She is such a lovebug!!
Need a staffy!Great vid thanks,
Thanks for watching!
I had a female staffy she was 130 lbs. of pure muscle and she was over 2'6" at the shoulders.
she was very, very intelligent, and super protective of me.
I got Lady from a animal pound she was about 6 months of then.
I was 17 years old at the time and she lived and I enjoyed 4 wonderful years with her. and some man shot and killed her in my yard. he thought she was a pittbull dog. and I have served 27 year's in prison for shooting and killing him.
I have not had a dog companion since and I am 48 years old now.
I would give anything to have my Lady back
No such thing as a 130 pound Staffordshire.
Dang was she part wolf
"WOW"""" RIP.
@@nativeeurope1299 ..... In jolly ol' ENGLAND back in the late 1800's and early 1900's they WERE.""" and pics don't LIE. (AGAIN) ...... Do your RESEARCH.
@@davidmcpherson1347 If you did your research you would know that there was no dog officially recognised as Staffordshire Bull Terrier until 1935 and (American) Staffordshire Terrier until 1936. And never in the history of either breed has there been 130 pound examples. Pictures dont lie but you obviously do.
I want a staffi
Get one. You’ll love them.
I find that I can't disagree with anything you said.
I will say that I have had substantial interaction with countless pits and staffies. Have raised & bread both & have found that "pitties" can be extremely affectionate as well and the training between the two is practically identical. But yeah Pitties Need some of that ruff stuff, even aggressive affection HARD squeezes and face smooshing. Blessings to you and yours 😊
We all need a little face smooshing now & then 😂
Hi I have a 6year old female staff & a 10 week old Am Staff / Pit bull, so far so good, I am home most days so am able to train my new addition, also my Staffy has been AMAZING role model
Thanks for doing that.
Great info in these videos but it would be really great if you guys would use more comparison pictures throughout the video..
We took in a stray. We assumed it was a black and white pit, but soon realised there are several kinds of Pits. Thank you for this video. Now I believe shes a Staffordshire because you explained her behavior spot on. At first we were concerned due to the hype about aggressive, malicious dog attacks..and rightly so..but I feel much better. She's a great dog, turns out. Stubborn, but very smart and we plan to give her what she deserves to live happily.
No, there is only one type of Pit Bull.
My Blue Staffy is 12 weeks old and just hates going outside, hope this changes
We've recently had a puppy come into care needing surgery and we think she's some kind of stafford. We are doing our best to take her everywhere and expose her to many people, dogs, animals, vehicles and so on. She's definitely very friendly and gentle natured, but we want to try and foster that as much as possible.
Great video long time amstaff owner and we now have a pittystaff lol that's what I call him he's half amstaff and half pitbull. By far the best breed in my opinion ( all bully breed's lol)! Keep up the great work and thank you for putting out the message about these awesome dogs!!! P.S. next pup we get is going to be a staffy!!!
Thanks for watching and letting us know what you think ❤️
Pity these dogs are so distrusted by the public. I hope your an expert dog trainer or your humble enough to know your not and have employ a expert to train you in how to handle your weapon.
We just rescued a brindle Staffy and she is absolutely perfect. She is the most lovable dog I've known. We've only had her one day and she hasn't left my side. I'm absolutely in love with her. Best decision I ever made for sure. She's really such a big love bug.
Just got one full on energy
I just got my first staffy, Carly, and I adore her
I adopted a 5 month old part female Lab (80%) and part Staffy (20%) that just turned 8 months old. However she is much more Staffy in appearance. My other dog is a 3 year old male part Australian Cattle dog and Brittany Spaniel that looks just like a Dingo except the ears are down. Touching to see how much they like each other. They play off and on all day in the house and back yard. I am retired so take them for a couple walks a day that adds up to 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day. It’s crazy how strong she is and seems not to care if she tumbles down the stairs or off the couch. She is still young and does not know her strength. The male dog on occasion is like a bowling pin when the “tank” runs into him. Funny but concerning. He lets her know when he’s had enough. Her lab genetics makes her a powerful swimmer when I go to the lake.
Came back from a week by a lake where she swam about 3 hours a day. She likes to put her head under the water. Is this a Staffy trait too?
We've had our puppy for 4 weeks now. The people we got him from said he is a staffy but we think they may have said that because a serious mayling by a pair of pits was in the news and they really needed a home for him.
We think he may be a pit or even a pit/staff mix. Is there any way to tell at this age?
Sad to say they are banned in my city it sucks that bad owners cause discrimination against the breed
Great video. Can you or will do amstaff channel. From a proud amstaff owner from aus
Thanks for watching, we'll see what we can do on an amstaff channel
I have a 12yo Staffordshire. I adopted her from a friend who couldn’t keep her. She’s been a fantastic dog and it’ll be a long time before I get another pet after she passes because of how irreplaceable she is. Also it’s good her fur doesn’t accumulate too much dirt because she absolutely hates taking baths. 😂
Very true about pit bulls, the drive and gameness comes from them being terriers. They’re not stupid dogs and you must demand respect from them like a Dalmatian
The American Putbull Terrier is actually surprisingly not recognized by the American Kennel Club, it is however recognized by the United Kennel Club
Is an American Staffordshire Bull Terrier considered a Pitbull?
@@ACJr7 In America the "pit bull" is separate from the American Staffordshire bull Terrier. The UKC recognized APBT or American Pit Bull Terrier as it's own breed. They're still very similar but American Pit Bull breeders have their own standards and bloodlines they use to differentiate and establish them as two separate breeds.
My Pitbull has proven that chewing is the way to go when he is bored. He has destroyed all his toys. His main goal it to take their "heart" out AKA the squeaker, has chew all his beds and blankets, the chairs, couch, cardboard, pens, pencils, sticks, clothing, shoes, you name it, and recently has started on vinyl flooring. He gets exercised, but to get him tired for a few hours happens when he gets to play with other dogs, he absolutely loves it.
I have a Staffy and he's the softest, freidnliest dog i've ever had, my daughter was only 4 when I got him as a pup and he loves her so much and he loves her firends visiting, he plays on the trampoline with them too, he will defend himself against dogs that bite him, thankfully I've always had him on the lead on the few occasions he has being bit, but, he always assumes other dsogs will play with him, and cats actually,
oh, lets not forget, he gives great hugs, not kidding at all, he often comes over to place his head over my shoulder and stays there with his wagging tail
I am simply in love with Staffy....Can someone tell me if it is a good dog for first time owner? We are pretty active family and 1-2 hr of play with our canine, we can easily afford.
I had a brindle cross, bitch, built like a tank, loving, gentle and loyal, lived to 16 years old, wonderful dog.
I have a "pit-mix" from a shelter (at age 6); a continuing challenge; loving, but unpredictable
Stimulisation ? So we r just inventing words now are we lol 😂 best misspeaking I’ve ever heard man that made me giggle 🤭
My staffy looks like a pit bull! He’s got long legs too and he’s only 7 months and already weights 18kg (not fat, he looks athletic) I got told he could be an Irish staff ?
Can you please give me a help to verify my dog what breed exactly...
They are the same breed they come from the same stock but its like breeding the taller ones together and the shorter ones together. They both show no signs of quit they will keep going and going until they are literally exhausted and pass out. They are the best dogs in the world they love their owner like no other.
I have a 9 month old staffy from Absolute in Louisiana. Great easy to train dog. Wish I could upload pics. She going to win a ribbon. Staffy is a great dog for everyone. Anyhoo glad your in the United States now bro!!! What state you in?
What a coincidence I see your comment, I have a pup from Absolute as well! I researched and drove from Texas to Louisiana to pick him up this past summer.
A common reason why people don't like staffies is because of the idiots who parade them around like some kind of accessory. Any well brought up staffie I have met has been a lovely dog
I love my englisch staffie! She wil be 10 years in november
I have both one pitbull that's just turned 2 yr old pitbull today on Christmas n a 11 month old staff that's will turn 1 in January both r great wit eachother never had one fight or a truffle I always had mutts great dogs to have they both love cuddling n play time they will get mad at u when u ain't ready for bed n they r hahaha but at the end they love all dogs n humans
I’m looking to determine which one I have. She’s 3 months and vet took blood test but it was inconclusive
blostaff, and wider nose bridge, staffy
longer snout and point tip ears pit.
During the "Great Depression of the 1930's" the American Kennel Club added American Pit Bull Terriers to their registry under the name ofStaffordshire Terrier.... With that being said they're both the same breed except the "Staffordshire terrier" is bred slightly different under the AKC standard
Have an xlbully mix with staffy most easiest dog to train she's 14 months and wow a service dog full of love even with protection work traning on the basis of 101 still she would be fully trained for this by age2 beautiful amazing temperament all muscle and fearless
what happen if you cross a staffy with a pitbull blue?
Was the Dogo Agentino created from the American Pitbull?
No it has Mastiff origins
An irony that they wanted ferocious fight dogs but pitbulls overall I find to be one of the gentlest among the breeds 💖
Geez I don't kmow if I have a Staffie an AmStaff an American Bully or Bull Staff. One has a slightly longer muzzle is eternally patient, loves and recoginzies smaller weaker critters, and is super energentic, loves to run, and exercise. The other is more snub muzzled, a born leader, and makes sure the other one knows its place. However, has no where near the prey drive, or exercise needs of the other. Both are extremtly loyal and affectionate. Any ideas out there, TH-cam land? I adore them both.
I have a Pit bull since he was 2 Years old things for him to chew on were bought immediately he understood what's his and what's not I've never had him chew as much shoe because he's always had his own if I ask him where's his toy he brings me a rope or pull ring not a stuffy because they belong to the kids you can even leave a plate of food around him he won't touch it I say all of this to say pit bulls are highly intelligent and will learn if you are consistent with training
Lots of people think the Staffy is a pitbull.
I agree with most of what you said, except that staffies are better with kids. I live with an English staffy but used to breed game bred pit bulls, and I can tell you there is nothing more perfect than a game bred pit bull!!
My 7 month old is a staffy German shep mix 😐....help 😬
We found her on the streets barely able to walk. She LOVES to spoon though
They were once the same breed of dog,I suggest reading books by Richard Stratton or Dianne Jessop.
“Were”
@@Mkpn74 yes, were,but not anymore.
I was at the dog park & my staffy/Am pit bull mix was bouncing across the park and someone asked me what breed she is. I said, "She's part Kangaroo". "Oh, wow!", he said. "That's so cool!" I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth, lol. She bounces like she's built on springs!
i have never had any problem with any pit-bull I had they are always smart and never ran into a stubborn one I guess it depends on the owner that being said don't get a pit if you cant handle one instead get a staffy or a American Bully both on the chiller side pit bulls are for high energy people
My Pittie is very sensitve. I tell him I am dissappointed in him when he acts out he looks heart broken and hangs his head.after a few minutes I hug him and tell him I love him. Thor was slightly hard to train. I used some of your training methods to train him plus studying the breed. Thor is great around children and people he has never met. He goes to stores and meets people twice a week. IHe gets very excited at ( am thursdays and sundays which are His days to go to town. I love my pittie Super smart and loving.
Have a pit and a gsd
Iv got a Americani staffy papy
3:50 i don't know how accurate this info is. my male Staffordshire bull terrier is 48 cm or 19 in.tall at the shoulder and weighs 23.5 kg or 52 lbs.. and hes still filling out. he is not fat he is not over fed. he is very muscular. he is also 100% pure bread.
Will apparently has the same barber as Mophead Johnson.
I adopted my sbt from dog when he was 18 months, but I am not sure that he is a staffy as he is taller and weight 28kgs
The difference between staffs and pit bulls are always vague. I’ve never heard anyone give an account for how the staff got its long legs. I have a 3/4 staff 1/4 greyhound. People who are in the know think she’s pinball.Makes a lot of sense when you think the best fighting dogs came from Ireland and the Irish are also keen for hunting.I’m suggesting the origin of the pitbul came from designing a lurcher …. A greyhound to catch up and the staff for the attack = a pit bull is born
I believe that part of the identification problem is that there are several different breeds in the US that are genetically described as Pit Bulls.
Amstaffs are one. Originally bread as hunting dogs, they are taller, faster, but just as strong. My Cookie is proof. She is 75lbs, 18 inch at the shoulder. Cookie is currently cuddled up with my wife Kathie. Ya, "vicious dog". But most people still call her a Pit.
@Rich Pedley - the reason you've never heard an account of how the SBT got it's long legs is, SBT don't have long legs, thus no one has talked about it. The SBT is a compact dog.
The Pit bull has nothing to do with the Lurcher or the Greyhound.
Jake Paul?
My staffy is 5 months old its suoer cute too
They look extremely similar to eachother honestly
not really if you close enough
I love my Staffy
I'm still confused I was told my dog was a staffie mix but he weighs about 70 lbs. I read somewhere that pitbulls are that size and staffies are actually no more than 40.
