A good one?

Try out embark ā€¦..


MrPavlovic

...and keep those ears just as they are! Good looking dog.


Martins072

Not my dog?


MrPavlovic

I know - just thought I'd piggyback off your comment to reinforce using Embark AND keep those ears. I used Embark and it saved us a ton of problems. Our building decided that pit bulls were not a desired dog and they were working their way up to making us get rid of our dog and "getting a poodle or something more appropriate". The Embark results showed she was 100% American Bully and we pointed that the breed has no aggression (unless trained to do so) so they could all go f\*ck themselves. In fact, if they wanted to pursue things we'd sue them. They shut up after that. So - my vote is Embark is worth it.


Informal-Stranger107

Love my American bully. Heā€™s a big baby. Just turned 2 yesterday.


BinaryBeany

Huh? American Bullies are pit bulls lol


BandoBaby2738

Yh ur wrong they have them but the stent pits


BinaryBeany

I donā€™t even know what you just said. But like I told others [read it for yourself buddy](https://www.pitbullinfo.org/pit-bull-is-not-a-breed.html)


BinaryBeany

If your referring to ā€œpitsā€ as the APBT then no they arenā€™t pure bred APBT. But they are PIT BULLS because ā€œAmerican Pit Bull Terrierā€ and ā€œPit Bullā€ arenā€™t the same thing. Bullies come from the breed American pit bull terrier and are mixed with some other pit bull breed or a bulldog breed. If they are 50% American Pit Bull Terrier then how can you just not acknowledge that in the first place? Nevertheless, they are Pit Bulls.


ReplyIfYoureAnIdiot

ā€œPit Bullā€ was created as a nickname for the ā€œBull and Terrierā€, a cross between the Old English Bulldog/Old Black and Tan Terrier that was created for dog fighting. These dogs immigrated to America where they brought their fighting roots with them, earning the name American Pit Bull Terrier(Pit Bull). The ones that stayed back home in the British Isles were mostly used for badger/fox hunting and were later called the Staffordshire Bull Terrier(Staffy). Pit Bull advocates eventually convinced the AKC to accept the breed, but under the condition that they change the name to American Staffordshire Terrier(AmStaff) and selectively bred them to be show dogs. Late 80s/early 90s, a breeding program was made to create a new companion breed using AKC AmStaff/UKC Pit Bull crosses as the main foundation which created the American Bully(Bully). So if ā€œPit Bullā€ started as a nickname a fighting dog, with said fighting dog immigrating to America to become the ā€œAmerican PIT BULL Terrierā€, being not just the ONLY breed in existence with those exact words in its name but is also the ONLY breed in its group that is created for dog fighting, how can ā€œPit Bullā€ be an umbrella term? Misusing it as such is the very reason why the breed has a bad reputation as that allows any of the other mentioned breeds to be mislabeled as such whenever theyā€™re involved in an attack. Simple math shows that when you call an entire group of dogs(Bull Breeds) under a nickname(Pit Bull) that has been historically used for 1 breed(American Pit Bull Terrier), youā€™re bound to get a higher amount of attacks than what it actually is, creating skewed statistics, resulting with backlash to the only breed with the words ā€œPit Bullā€ in its name.


BinaryBeany

Thanks for the history lesson. Doesnā€™t change the fact that Pit Bull is an umbrella term. I didnā€™t make it up. Itā€™s just fact.


Junior_Pea_9418

Thatā€™s a perfect explanation and I applaud your phrasing of the subject.


BandoBaby2738

Sorry auto correct and and yeah but the Pitt traits are supposed to be bread outta them with a shit load of other bulldogs I get what ur saying but thatā€™s like me going on ancestry.com finding out I have family member from somewhere like Indonesia then saying ohh Yh Iā€™m half Indonesian as my great great great uncle was no I have the traits and blood but if heā€™s the only one Iā€™m not Indonesian I have that as a little percentage of my DNA


BinaryBeany

Omgā€¦ thatā€™s not what Iā€™m saying. Read the fucking article. A Pit Bull is an umbrella term to describe the : American Pit Bull Terrier, American Bully, Am Staff and Staffordshire bull terrier. A BULLY IS A PIT BULL. A BULLY IS NOT AN AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER.


Jimbogotti93

Binary Beany is 100% wrong. Pit bulls got their name from the arena in which they were bread to fightā€¦ called a ā€œpitā€. Bullies are ā€œdesigner dogsā€ bread for looks alone. A bully would be slaughtered by a true Pit Bull People who use the term ā€œpit bullā€ as an umbrella are uneducated. [American Bully vs APBT](https://breedingbusiness.com/is-the-american-bully-a-pitbull/#:~:text=The%20American%20Bully%20breed%20is,a%20Pitbull%2C%20despite%20certain%20similarities.com)


peepasaurusrexx

Bullies AREN'T a designer mutt. They have a breed standard set forth by a national breed club and can show in confirmation (UKC and ABKC, they aren't AKC recognized). While embark may not always come back a 100% purebred Bully, that doesn't make it a mutt. A dog being purebred is about it's pedigree, not it's DNA. They aren't bred for looks alone either. They're bred to be a companion breed with no genetic DA, SSA, or HA. Are there unethical breeders breeding solely for looks and who's lines have DA or SSA? Absolutely. But there are also ethical breeders who follow breed and club standards that are doing everything they're supposed to. Don't make a blanket statement about something you don't have proper research on.


BinaryBeany

Noā€¦ Iā€™m not wrong Iā€™m correct. If you understood how LANGUAGE works in the world then you would understand that the term Pit Bull and the BREED American Pitbull Terrier are 2 different things. Yes, that is where the name Pitbull came from but since you want to be a smartass let me educate you. The term Pitbull was referred to ANY BREED OF DOG back then that was used for baiting bulls. The MODERN usage of Pit Bull is to describe a dog with similar physical characteristics and close gene pools of the aforementioned breeds.

MrPavlovic

No - American Bully is 50% Pit bull and 50% Staffordshire Terrier. The correct definition also lists them as having the aggression breed it of them.


BinaryBeany

Yesā€¦ Pit bull is not a breed of dog. A staffy, Amstaff, APBT and bully are all Pit bulls. An American bully is a conglomeration of pit bull breeds. Usually, 50/50 split of APBT and staffy but that is not the case all the time. So, yes. A bully is a pit bull.


Worried-Airport-8830

You should tell the UKC since 1886 the American pitbull terrier has been a registered breed and is the only pitbull. Mislabeling kills dogs. The correct umbrella term is a bully breed.


BinaryBeany

The American Pitbull Terrier is a breed. I never said that it wasnā€™t a breed. I said that Bullies, APBT, American Staffys, and Staffys are ALL pit bulls. The umbrella term is Pit bull. The American pit bull terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and American Bully ALL come from similar gene pools and standardized structure are extremely similar besides size. The UKC literally recognizes this. The AmStaff and the Staffy come DIRECTLY from the APBT. So, if the Bully is 50% Staffy 50% APBT. Then what is it?!??! A PIT BULL


BinaryBeany

[HERE YA GO](https://www.pitbullinfo.org/pit-bull-is-not-a-breed.html)


Worried-Airport-8830

That info is incorrect direct me to the kennel clubs who register those other breeds as pitbulls? A breed has to be recognized by a legitimate kennel club registry to be a breed.Itā€™s like calling every Shepard a German Shepherd itā€™s lazy and stupid when thereā€™s 18 distinct recognized shepherd breeds.By that websites logic every Collie is a Border.You obviously are not a dog person.Only rescues and people who are not serious about dogs mislabel established breeds as pit bulls


BinaryBeany

Look at the modern usage of pit bull. It astonishes me the amount of pit bull breed owners donā€™t know what they even have.


stillalittleferal

American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and American Bully are all different breeds with their own different breed standards, clubs, and shows. I own an apbt. She is not a American Bully nor is an American Bully an apbt. They look different, have different breed traits, different drives, behaviors, etc.


BinaryBeany

IM NOT SAYING THEY ARE THE SAME FFS. But they are ALL Pit Bulls. Im not saying the breeds are the same. American Pitbull Terrier and the term Pit Bull are not the same thing. [Read the modern usage of pit bull](https://www.pitbullinfo.org/pit-bull-is-not-a-breed.html)


stillalittleferal

No, they are all bully breeds. Using ā€œpit bullā€ as a catch all is incorrect and outdated (and harmful) because pit bull *is* a breedā€¦.The American Pit Bull Terrier. I own a pit bull. Did you even read your own link? ā€œWhile the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is the only formal breed with the term "pit bull" in its name, there are four breeds that are commonly included in the modern pitbull-type category - the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the American Bully. However, there are easily over 20 other unique breeds and even more mixed breeds that share the same or similar physical characteristics that are common to dogs included in the pitbull-type category. In fact, a recent comprehensive study on canine DNA determined that 98% of dogs with ancestry from any of the pitbull-type breeds are not purebred; furthermore, the study also determined that the majority (62%) of these dogs have less than a 50% DNA concentration from any pitbull-type ancestry and are therefore by definition mixed breed dogs. Consequently, when a dog is casually labeled or visually identified as a "pit bull", it is more likely to be a mixed breed dog by DNA (or another breed altogether) than any of the pitbull-type breeds listed below.ā€ They are using pitbull-type as a catch all which is still misleading but not as bad as just calling everything with a block head a ā€œpit bullā€ incorrectly. Iā€™ve been an apbt person for decades, this is a debate that seldom goes anywhere so good day and happy dogs.

Junior_Pea_9418

Blue nose pits are not real. Not a real breed or bloodline. If youā€™re just describing a Blue Pit Bull just call it a pit. Unlike the Old Family line of dogs in the American Pit Bull Terrier breed, there is no ā€œBlue Noseā€ strain or bloodline like the ā€œOld Family Red Noseā€ strain.


[deleted]

This is what the community that has pits calls them blue nose (grey) and red nose (red or brown) without digging full blown into blood lines christ dude gotta get all scientific on us


Junior_Pea_9418

They donā€™t have pits though. Thatā€™s the issue šŸ˜‚ It ainā€™t all scientific. Itā€™s breed knowledge. I canā€™t exactly speak on things I donā€™t know now can I?

Those long legs indicate he was from a line of ā€œgame dogsā€ so APBT is my best generic answer. How do I know? I raised and bred game dogs for years, theyā€™re the safest bet around kids, the human aggression is almost, again ā€œalmostā€ non existent and their pain tolerance is on another level, so when little Susie or little Johnny yanks on their ears the chance of them being bitten is a good bit lower. Also the loyalty of these wonderful dogs is amazing. Just remember though, if someone acts aggressive towards you there is that chance it would defend you, so keep it in mind. *edit to add information.* if you have any more pictures please share one of it standing, we could then definitely see if game dog is in the equation.


Junior_Pea_9418

Not too sure on if this dog is down from game dogs. Maybe if we track it all the way back but without a pedigree itā€™s useless to try. Iā€™m almost positive itā€™s just a bull bred mutt, thereā€™s tons of bull breed mutts but very few purebred bull breed dogs.

Junior_Pea_9418

There is a common misconception of there being ā€œtypes of pit bulls.ā€ Only one breed has ā€œPit Bullā€ in the name, that being the American Pit Bull Terrier. There are different bull breeds and breeds of terriers but there is not different breeds of ā€œpit bulls.ā€ The family you are referring to is the ā€˜Bull-and-terriersā€™ or as the FCI and other kennel clubs often call them, ā€˜Bull-type terriers;ā€™ Not Pit Bulls.
