I'm just wondering whats your thought on chaining a dog?

[luvofallhorses]

That is not what I meant at ALL about bulldog. I did not mean American Bullies. It's used as a term if you know what I mean. Of course APBTs are lean and medium like the OP's dog.

im sry....but anyway back to the chain thing...another reason y i dont like chains is because people can come into ur yard and having nice dogs like mine u dont kno that they come in the yard.....i almost lost my female pit because some punk kids poisend her.....i almost lost my baby...ever since then i dont let my dogs out unless im out there and i dont chain them up no more........

It's a pet peeve of mine, but I don't like the terms Pits, or Pit Bulls. They are not breed specific. They lump a large amount of dogs together and add to the confusion to the general public. Bulldog is the original name of the American Pit Bull Terrier... They added the Terrier dogs to the Bulldog for "gameness" they introduced Terriers to the Bulldogs to have smaller, tenacious, quicker dog for fighting...They added the word "pit" when it became an underground sport held in a "pit" also known as the "box".

Good post, Indigo. Very true!


A lot of people think that American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and Bull Terriers are all 'pit bulls'. This is not the case! American Staffordshire's, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and the APBT are all closely related breeds, but they are in no means the same breeds.
The APBT is shorter, and leaner.
The AST and the APBT look very similar.
and Staffordshire Bull Terriers are much shorter, wider, and have a totally different face then the others.
The Bull Terrier is best known for it's egg-shaped head. Not very common, but the color mostly seen is mostly white or white w/ some brown patches.
and the American Bulldog, (seen in the movie Homeward Bound, 'Chance') is a taller, and leaner breed. I like the type of American Bulldog seen in the movie, I feel like people have bred them to be bigger, and heavier....

Don't worry about it Amber you didn't offend me at all. I'm an all mighty nerd of the APBT lmfao. If you ever want any good links or forums on the breed let me know I certainly don't know it all, but I've had my heart set on an APBT since i was like 7 so I started my research about 10 years of age when the glory days of AOL were around lmfao.

lol nice........yeah i have been starting to do research.....i guess im a nerd like that..........i have always like the breed but my dad always told me bad things about them........but we i got together with my fiance' he has two of them and they are the total opposite of what i have heard and well i have been doen some research and because of that research i have even convinced for my mom to keep the one that she "rescued"(longer story)......
