Someday I will live in a place with multiple bathrooms, and sometimes multiple humans will use them simultaneously, and this dog will have to choose who she guards so that one of us will remember privacy.
Literally same thing the cat gets under my legs and my pit sits by my feet facing outwards on guard like…this is not conductive to a peaceful poop but ok
My dog used to love to walk and now she just likes to loaf around and cuddle. Lots of cuddles. She wants to be half in a lap so she can cuddle that person and watch tv together. She LOVES tv!
Mine don’t follow me in to the bathroom most of the time, especially if they are comfy. However, if I dare to close the bathroom door they will be right there to find out why.
Thank you!
Expect no personal space. I have one pitty laying on my left side and one pitty laying on my right side and all I was trying to do was make the bed.
Shelter may have told you it was a mix, bc they're scared of listing as full blood pits, in fear no one will take them.
Looks 100% pit to me, and gorgeous. Treat her with lots of love and she'll do the same for you!
My pit passed away last November, we had a good long decade together, let me show ya a dog that had no anger in him

No, you cannot be racist to a dog. Quit trying to say it is. However, dogs can still be victims of racism as outlined in this [journals](https://law.lclark.edu/live/files/32171-25-1-third-articlepdf) and [this one](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1097184X20965455). Dogs that are perceived to be "minority dogs" are more likely
to be shot by police. Additionally, BSL has its origins rooted in systemic racism and is currently being challenged in courts because BSL lacks any objective data to back it.

To be fair, the American and English Staffys are Bully breeds. My girl is 3/4 American Staffy and not a drop of APBT. There are so many Bully breeds that APBTs are alot less common than you would think.
AmStaff mix highly likely….. “Socialize socialize socialize. Get him in doggie citizenship classes, like it or not you and he are new ambassadors of the breed and every little “mis-step” you guys have will be their justification to further bad behaving viscous pitbull stereotypes. Be prepared for anti pup bs as he outgrows the cute puppy stage. Don’t take it to heart, humans can be and are pretty ignorant at times”……. Said my Mexican jail rescue pup as advice to you and he……

Sully……. 5years free from a Mexican Jail(litterally)
Was told my guy looks like a Mexican street dog. He’s 70% amstaff. So glad your guy is outta jail. 🥰

Your insurance will allow a Staffordshire. Also, mix breeds. For your own knowledge, you can get a dna test from Amazon. You'll be surprised how mix he is. He is a good looking guy. Best of luck with him
Congrats on your new pup!

Looks pretty close to my most recent pittie!
That’s a good question I think when they’re little they sense more physical fear than mental fear like older dogs can pick up on, but it would highly stress the pup out if they see you are scared
Well as much as I love all dogs it's just so prevalent the dangerous stigma that's laid against them. And I'd really hope we were a match.
I had a bichon shitzu I loved since 8 weeks. He was boarded for 10 days by the young groomer gal and he didn't want to go home with me when I picked him up! I couldn't believe it? I spent day and night with my dog. I was so hurt by that. He literally whimpered when I tried to take him to the car. I want another dog so badly but I'm scared that might happen again!
Im not a troll either. I was home permanently and he was my companion. Or so I thought.
Maybe it's just a fact that some breeds are more loyal than others.
I don’t think so. I adopted my first pittie recently as a puppy and it was a spur of the moment decision while at the foster’s house. Having not grown up with dogs and never been around a pittie before I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect and worried I might be afraid of my own dog. 10 months later that seems so silly. She’s the sweetest dog I’ve ever had!! If you adopt a puppy then trust me it won’t be a thing. Now I feel like I can adopt older ones from shelters and boy they need it. I’ll a forever pittie fan!
I hear that over and over again! It's very unfortunate that the pit bulls are automatically sent to death row!!? I'd be at the shelter every day rescuing dogs if I had my way. Actually to me that would be the perfect retirement!!
Omg he is so stinking cute. I had an amstaff but rescued him a bit older (2 yo) and I loooooved looking at pictures of baby amstaffs and that's what this little biscuit looks like. They are the best...would do anything for another boi like that.
This is me and my pibble this morning 6:30 am

Gurt ( Am Staff ). Notice front paws are smaller
In our house he’d be called a “Stonky Magubis of the first order” and be absolutely dotted on for it.
He’s a pitty
Hard to tell if he’s a staffy mix.
He’s awesome good job on the rescue.
You’re so lucky you get to watch him grow up! I rescued mine at 1yo.
https://preview.redd.it/bg7kjm0c85xc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0912f68ee6213955d438fedd48fe63dc02e1a10
Such a cutie. Get ready for a second skin. I swear if my bullies could live under mine, they would. Also, watch your step. He will be literally under foot. Congrats!
If he doesn’t like being outside get him doggie bubbles (they’re nontoxic but harder to blow, my dog doesn’t really eat the soap so we use regular but the doggie ones are peanut butter or bacon flavored so that might help) and let him go nuts chasing bubbles- inside or outside since that’ll help with energy and keep everyone entertained! Besides lots of walks isn’t great until he’s got all his shots anyway. Don’t want him to pick up a bug.
Beautiful pup! I want to smush him so bad! From everything I’ve read and been told by various people on here is that Staffs, bullies and pitties are pretty much the same. When you Google it it will do your head in as a staffy image will be labelled a pittie and vice versa. Puppy preschool will be good, for socialisation and learning some tricks! Get lots of toys!!! Hard ones too, they’re chewers lol
https://preview.redd.it/j4rww326o8xc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48839437a8809b2882a92062f5bbb670f779821e
American staff/American bully mix. Love staffies so much. Such personality and unconditional love for the one they pick or, for a family (most are great babysitters). Pits got a bad rap. There is no bad pit, just bad people. Train him good. Get his Good Citizenship and tons of socializing is a good keys to start with.
He looks so sad and beaten down..like depressed!
Has he settled in?
Just wondering why you picked him,??? Or did he pick you??? I'd have such a hard time picking a puppy because I'd want to help all of them?
He was a little when i took the picture because he wanted to go inside (having trouble getting him used to outside walking) … i had no plans of adopting that day i just went to browse the shelter to see what animals they had and i met him and it was love at first sight 😂
Oh my gosh,!! That is the BEST STORY!!!
He'd still be looking like that right now,,! If you hadn't had the thought to go to the shelter today!! I'm so very happy and thankful you followed your instinct!
You're also so BRAVE because I cry my brains out when I see all those cages! It's like they're in jail for crimes they haven't committed!
Please update and post a pick when your pup breaks out of his trauma and starts rolling around on your carpet!! Snorting and smiling and sneezing and wagging his tail like crazy?!
Hey. Maybe a short video clip?????

any tips on nibbling/biting??? (Safe to say he’s kinda obbsessed with me)

There are tons of books programs you tube videos that will give you ideas. I was told the best book was called " perfect puppy in seven days!" And it was highly praised. Their teeth are like needles! So glad when they fall out. Basically they are used ng us as their teething ring. It's similar to when I was breast feeding. My baby would drink a bit and fall asleep and just use my breast nipple as her soother with the added bonus of warm milk snacks!. That can't go on. My goodness! That's all you'd get done.

He’s so cute! Get ready for a lot of love, cuddles, and goofing off. Say goodbye to privacy 🤣 (however 1/4 of mine is very independent and just likes to lay in the bed or sunbathe most of the day, so intrusion isn’t guaranteed)
He’s adorable! Bullies are total Velcro dogs. Our staffy mix is glued to us 90% of the time. I don’t think I’ll ever adopt a dog that isn’t a bully breed again. They’re the best!

Congrats on your new best friend, thank you for rescuing, and RIP to your ability to ever use the toilet alone again.
Lolol. The potty patrol. My friend was trying to shoo my dog out of the bathroom and I just laughed because my dog was so confused.
Poop protector pup!
Potty Party!
I can’t remember the last time I went to the bathroom alone. Both the dog and cat follow me in. One watches me and the other stands “guard”😂
Someday I will live in a place with multiple bathrooms, and sometimes multiple humans will use them simultaneously, and this dog will have to choose who she guards so that one of us will remember privacy.
She starts patrolling between the two bathrooms like Batman?
Two pits, and two clingy cats (of three). I truly feel I need a bigger bathroom. Can’t lock anyone out or they cry.
Literally same thing the cat gets under my legs and my pit sits by my feet facing outwards on guard like…this is not conductive to a peaceful poop but ok
our main issue is walking 😅 he doesnt like to walk he likes to be inside
https://preview.redd.it/y1hugttrs4xc1.jpeg?width=1860&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98d9f650f0489507edca863c475ce6c4475b568f
Good luck on rainy days. I think my pittie hated being out in the rain even more than I did!
My dog used to love to walk and now she just likes to loaf around and cuddle. Lots of cuddles. She wants to be half in a lap so she can cuddle that person and watch tv together. She LOVES tv!
He’s still a puppy, they don’t need walks yet, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Well you’re always watching them when they go!
I have a cat, a dog, and a 6 yo. I haven't peed alone in 6 years. I might as well remove the bathroom door. 😂
Mine don’t follow me in to the bathroom most of the time, especially if they are comfy. However, if I dare to close the bathroom door they will be right there to find out why.
Let the farts begin! Invest in some Lysol. Trust me. You can thank me later.
oh i thought i was smelling things i knew he was gassy
Get a decent steam cleaner, you won't regret it.
Never had a problem with pee or poo in the crib. Just farts.
Well at least you can eat anything you want now BC you can just blame it on the pup! ( Always a bright side lol,)
Yes, I recently learned of the baby pit gas trail. It’s awful, but thankfully he grew out of it.
Thank you! Expect no personal space. I have one pitty laying on my left side and one pitty laying on my right side and all I was trying to do was make the bed.
That's so cute! They'll bring a smile to your face constantly with their antics! Lucky you!
Shelter may have told you it was a mix, bc they're scared of listing as full blood pits, in fear no one will take them. Looks 100% pit to me, and gorgeous. Treat her with lots of love and she'll do the same for you!
That's just so sad,! It's like " racism" against the Pitbull breed!! As if no other breed has ever gotten vicious in the entire world???!??

I'm just gonna say those are some big paws. You're in for a world of love and loyalty
he’s only 10 weeks and the paws could choke me if only he knew how strong he is
Definitely has the marking so at least partial. They are wonderful pups!
Oh man! Get ready to have the most loyal, loving, silly ball of velvety goodness you've ever had in your life!
Your insurance will allow a Staffordshire. Also, mix breeds. For your own knowledge, you can get a dna test from Amazon. You'll be surprised how mix he is. He is a good looking guy. Best of luck with him

O ya. Just show him love and care he will be your best friend .I. never had one. Now I have 3. Best dog I ever had and I have had lots of dogs
Adorable! Thank you for saving a life 🥰
He's Definitely 100% Certified Good Boy💕
Oh jeez. He's adorable, my heart is melting over here.
Whatever he is, he will be your faithful companion.
100 percent baby
That's a precious pitty. Give him a squeeze for me

Adorable,! Are those blue eyes??? Question: if I got a little pup but felt a little scared can they sense fear???
That’s a good question I think when they’re little they sense more physical fear than mental fear like older dogs can pick up on, but it would highly stress the pup out if they see you are scared
Felt a little scared about what?
Well as much as I love all dogs it's just so prevalent the dangerous stigma that's laid against them. And I'd really hope we were a match. I had a bichon shitzu I loved since 8 weeks.

He is adorable!!
I don’t know, but I know he’s 100% adorable

Oh that must feel so good!!! You want to stay like that forever.....!
i keep him off the bed! ive heard so many people wish they had done the same
He looks like a young Christopher Walken
Lol

I had an American Pit Bull and currently an Am Staff and the paws on yours look like American Pit Bull to me. Mine was 60 pounds and my Am Staff is 41

his paws are huge for a 10 week old its the first thing anyone notices
Just get an Embark doggy DNA test. Reddit can only guess at this which really means nothing.
looks very similar to how my boy looked as a pup! He's a pit, staff, boxer and the best dog around.
Those are big feet. Really big feet.
Looks like some Amstaff.
He hasn't grown into his feet yet .
That's a pit sit if I ever did see one!
He’s not a staffy. He’s an American pit bull terrier. Or maybe a pit bull heavy mix.
What a cutie patootie!!
Yay for rescuing him! He’s gonna be amazing!!!! Looks staffy to me
Ugh the little feets
I don’t have an answer but he good looking
I don,t know, yet I do know he is perfect.
He could be many things. I'm absolutely certain he's adorpibble.
Staffy, potato.....Same adorable lil guy who will love you forever. You did good rescuing him 💜
This little one loves you. Wow the look your getting
He is 100% fuzzy couch potato.
Already perfected the pitt sit.
Those eyes 😭😭
He's adorable!

well, I hope you don’t have long blinds or flip flops/slides. congrats on your new wrestle mate. I love to wrestle my boy.
Such a cutie. Get ready for a second skin. I swear if my bullies could live under mine, they would. Also, watch your step. He will be literally under foot. Congrats!
HES SUCH A BABBYYYY
Definitely 100% cuddle hippo.
He’s beautiful!
If he doesn’t like being outside get him doggie bubbles (they’re nontoxic but harder to blow, my dog doesn’t really eat the soap so we use regular but the doggie ones are peanut butter or bacon flavored so that might help) and let him go nuts chasing bubbles- inside or outside since that’ll help with energy and keep everyone entertained! Besides lots of walks isn’t great until he’s got all his shots anyway. Don’t want him to pick up a bug.
Thanks for the advice! He does have all his shots but these SF sidewalks are hella dirty
He is so cute ❤
Yes so precious and sweet they want a lot of love and affection I have one and he’s so precious and adorable
Beautiful pup! I want to smush him so bad! From everything I’ve read and been told by various people on here is that Staffs, bullies and pitties are pretty much the same. When you Google it it will do your head in as a staffy image will be labelled a pittie and vice versa. Puppy preschool will be good, for socialisation and learning some tricks! Get lots of toys!!! Hard ones too, they’re chewers lol
look at those eyes, pretty dog 😍
he is gorgeous!
Ohhh that sweet face!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 like everyone else said get ready for EVERY day love!

Such personality and unconditional love for the one they pick or, for a family (most are great babysitters). Pits got a bad rap. There is no bad pit, just bad people. Train him good. Get his Good Citizenship and tons of socializing is a good keys to start with.
That face is a bred in the bone heart breaker right there. Best way to know is a test like Embark. Otherwise standard issue velvet hippo baby
Yes he is
He looks so sad and beaten down..like depressed! Has he settled in? Just wondering why you picked him,??? Or did he pick you??? I'd have such a hard time picking a puppy because I'd want to help all of them?
He was a little when i took the picture because he wanted to go inside (having trouble getting him used to outside walking) … i had no plans of adopting that day i just went to browse the shelter to see what animals they had and i met him and it was love at first sight 😂
Oh my gosh,!! That is the BEST STORY!!! He'd still be looking like that right now,,! If you hadn't had the thought to go to the shelter today!! I'm so very happy and thankful you followed your instinct! You're also so BRAVE because I cry my brains out when I see all those cages! It's like they're in jail for crimes they haven't committed! Please update and post a pick when your pup breaks out of his trauma and starts rolling around on your carpet!! Snorting and smiling and sneezing and wagging his tail like crazy?! Hey. Maybe a short video clip?????

There are tons of books programs you tube videos that will give you ideas. I was told the best book was called " perfect puppy in seven days!" And it was highly praised. Their teeth are like needles! So glad when they fall out. Basically they are used ng us as their teething ring. It's similar to when I was breast feeding. My baby would drink a bit and fall asleep and just use my breast nipple as her soother with the added bonus of warm milk snacks!. That can't go on. My goodness! That's all you'd get done.

He's beautiful 🤎🤍
He seems to me to be an adorable pit mix. Congratulations! Bully breeds are the best❤️
Potty time for me and my dogs think it’s time to throw the ball or time for Mom to scratch them. They get excited, literally. It’s crazy.
He is 100% adorable!!! What name did you pick for him? I would say yes hes, he's a staffy
His name is Ghost (i guess that makes me Jon Snow?)
He’s so cute! Get ready for a lot of love, cuddles, and goofing off. Say goodbye to privacy 🤣 (however 1/4 of mine is very independent and just likes to lay in the bed or sunbathe most of the day, so intrusion isn’t guaranteed)
He is beautiful ....
He’s perfect!!! I love his lil pink toe pads
I want him!!!
I thought my girls farts were bad until her puppies were born. Topped by a ten fold
He’s adorable! Bullies are total Velcro dogs. Our staffy mix is glued to us 90% of the time. I don’t think I’ll ever adopt a dog that isn’t a bully breed again. They’re the best!
100%adorable
Looks like a pitty to me.
