I saw your post about you venting your frustration for people not keeping their dogs on a leash around you DA dog. I'm going to assume that you put a muzzle on your dog in public anyway right? Idk where you're from but where I'm from it's very normal, legal and beneficial for dogs to have time off a leash on places like beaches and open park areas. Your dogs actions are your responsibility and its expected by the law and the general public that your dog doesnt pose a risk to other humans or dogs

That post was from years ago! But I live in a city where it’s the law for dogs to be on a leash when not secured by a fence, on their property or in a dog park. My dog while DA would show no aggression towards dogs unless they ran up on us which sadly my neighbors aggressive small dogs still do and in my dogs 12yrs she has never gotten hold of another dog. Also no my dog is not muzzled when out on walks. I’m very responsible with my dogs and they are never allowed to roam off leash off my fenced in property. Other dog owners irresponsibility is not my responsibility.

It has been so long since I’ve posted here. Usually I only come around to lurk and see what my fav dogblrs are up to and peep at the gorgeous doggos!

Back in March I had this handsome pup dropped on me. He isn’t what I wanted in an APBT at all but he was a dog in a bad situation and his breeder who is a good friend of ours asked my brother to snatch him up for him and gave him the option to ship him back or keep him....well it was decided to keep him.

He’s been a blessing these past few months and came to me in a time where I was feeling at my lowest and it’s that reason that I adore this lil bastard.

Thinking of making a tumblr for him and my art stuff since this blog is pretty much dead as of now and there are plenty other great bully breed blogs here!

my girlfriend and i both really love apbts, but we also plan on having 2-3 other dogs (specifically large breeds, though none of the ones we like besides bully breeds are DA prone). do you think it'd be better if we went with a different bully breed, and if so, what kind? thanks for this blog btw! i'm glad i have so much knowledge readily accessible, otherwise i might've made an uninformed decision and just gotten an apbt w/o a second thought

Glad that you aren’t jumping at the chance to own an APBT and are actually learning beforehand! So many don’t and end up overwhelmed and often blame the dogs when these common traits show.

If you aren’t too keen on dealing with the chance for DA and having to crate/rotate in the chance that the dog ends up showing signs of it then I would suggest you look into reputable breeders of Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers and American Bullies.

These breeds can still display signs of DA but it isn’t as common as it is with the APBT.

The best thing you can do is to look at reputable breeders and see which ones you like. don’t be afraid to ask them questions about their dogs and temperament! Let them know what you are looking for in a pet and also let them know that while you are interested in a dog of either of the breeds that you are do plan on having a multi dog household in the future. Hopefully They will be able to steer you in the right direction.

What do you think of the "Bulldog Alapaha blue blood" type of dog? is it a real thing? I'm just curious, i just saw a video of it on Dogumentary TV on youtube

Yes it is a real breed of dog and they've been around for a good long while. Pretty neat dogs imo. I don't know much about them though sadly.

My girl Mace! An APBT x Whippet. Her looks aren’t very Whippet, but her personality and ridiculous speed sure is. She’s the result of a purposeful crossbreeding, but not one we’ll try again. Speed, intelligence, strength, but very poor nerve. Still, I love her and she sure is pretty.

Yknow any apbt lines that are known to not be dog aggressive? I'd love a pitbull but Im not a one dog kinda guy ya know?

No lineage of APBT is truly non DA. You may find some cold dogs in any of the lines but it's Not a common thing people are breeding for.

Your best bet though would be to look into Am Staff and Am Bully breeders since DA isn't as common in those breeds so you'll have a better chance.

Hey guys! So I've been thinking of possibly making a coloring book of APBT...mainly dogs of the past and just some random apbt in general. Some coloring pages will be of sport settings like WP, lure coursing etc. The style I'm thinking of using is the same as the piece here which I drew up of my own dog lol. Not sure if their will be any interest in something like this though so I guess I'm just looking for some feedback tbh. If I do end up making one and it turns out well I may consider doing one featuring working/sporting dogs.
