[QUOTE="Hubrat98, post: 718254, member: 23573"] Not looking to start a fight with a fellow dog lover but "Bully Breeds" are breeds that originated with the Bulldog. Obviously, the English and American Bulldogs are bully breeds but the others are the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the Bull Terrier, APBT (American Pit Bull Terrier), and the American Staffordshire Terrier (AmStaff). The AmStaff and APBT are American breeds and are essentially the same. The reason for the different names between the two is because back in the early to mid 1900's the American Kennel Club wouldn't accept dogs with "pit" in their name due to the fighting connotation. To get around this problem breeders came up with the name American Staffordshire Terrier and registered APBT's with the AKC. The United Kennel Club was created shortly thereafter solely to register APBT's, forever separating the breeds. Most "pit bulls" in American shelters are called AmStaffs when trying to be placed because the word "pit" can immediately turn an otherwise rational person away from adopting a deserving dog. BTW. I have a 4 year-old rescued APBT that is 50 pounds of pure muscle and love. Why buy a dog when there are so many out there in need of a good home/owner? As a pit bull owner you have to put the breed in a good light. That means always keeping him leashed in public, never bringing him to a dog park, keeping a close eye on him around children, and being VERY careful around unfamiliar dogs.
