Wow, I leave for a little while and look at what I missed. Thanks everyone for going to bat for Pitties.

Don't feed the trolls.

This thread is pretty old, but I wanted to clear up some confusion

American Staffordshire Terriers and American Pitbull Terriers are the same thing. Staffordshire Bull Terriers *are* a different breed, they're smaller and such.

I thought my post was as clear as clear could be.

Just because you understood didn't mean other members did...

I just read the post by Love4bc on the Pitbull ban.Now I'm new here so I don't want to stir up an arguement but I feel compelled to voice my opinion.First of all I think that any educated dog owner knows that a problem dog is generally not do to the breed,but either the quality of breeding or lack of proper training and socialization.When dogs turn for the worst the majority of the time it's do to the fault of the owner.To ban any breed is to open the door for future banning of many other breeds.Secondly,I don't know how any true dog lover could agree with the banning on any breed if they were properly educated on what turns any dog into either a well behaved one or a troubled one.In fact a whole lot of times when any dog attacks it's usually on a child and somewhere down the line it's found out that the child abused or tormented the animal and if they attack another child it's because they remember it was a child that abused or tomented him or her.I have come across so many pits that are just the sweetest animals in the world.I think that post was totally biased and unfare,and no I don't own a pit I own an Akita.Just my opinion and I hope I didn't offend anyone.

Don't worry about Love4BCs, she has been banned. Everyone else seems to feel the same as you do about BSL.

That is incorrect.


American Staffordshire Terriers are one breed.
American Pit Bull Terriers are one breed.
Staffordshire Bull Terriers are one breed.

Those are THREE SEPERATE breeds.

There are no bad dogs(cats,birds,guinea pigs,ect..) just bad people.

Why was she banned?

that depends on who you ask.

considering that you can register an AST as an APBT(like said above), i dont see how they are seperate breeds.

IMO they are the same breed just different types..one bred for performance and one bred for show.

just like with ESS, irish setters, labs, etc....working breeds.....within most working breeds there is a show type and a working type...they have similar characteristics but dont really look the same...

Why was she banned?

For a post she made on this thread, which has since been removed. It was her goodbye post anyway, but it was *VERY* arrogant.
