A real American Pitbull Terrier is not a breed for the uninitiated. The breed requires a massive amount of understanding, activity, and supervision. Hai Truong is an excellent example of a good Pitbull owner.
In this episode of All About Living With The Real American Pitbull Terrier,Hai and his boy Wes live an active and engaged life. Not only does Wes exercised several times a day he's also trains in the canine sport of French Ring.
Wes is Hai's third indoor pet Pitbull, making Hai an experienced and careful owner. He has learned to identify not only his dog's behavior but the behavioral cues from other animals and people as well.
Owning a real American Pitbull Terrier is a chore but the love your pitbull gives you will pay you back tenfold.
Finally a owner that has a actual pit bull and not some 50kg bulldog type
No real pitbull should weigh more than 25kilos....Even 25 kilos one are heavyweight champion dogs like Champion Mayday
@Carrier-Crow do you have facebook page for your dogs..
Amen
Real APBT under 42 pounds.

Ears not clipped, raw diet, obedience training: this guy loves and respecrs his dog. Such a beautiful beast
Alex Thorpe why do you care so much if the ears are clipped
+Charlie And Lola and Hazel too! apparently you didn't understand the comment.
Chris Foster just because a dogs ears are cut does not mean it's disrespect to the animal.
Thank you
I agree with this! He doesn’t do unnecessary and possibly harmful things to his dogs :)
Now that’s how the real APBT should look. I hate it when people confuse Bully or Staffordshire with this unique dog breed.
Me ToYou I’m more a staffy or American bulldog guy, but i hate when people confuse the breeds, I love them all so much. They’re all great animals
@@jujasname is another shit !
@@_d98224 oh look, another shit
@@jujasname Pugs and French Bulldogs are shit.
I feel like that’s the reason pit attacks are so high. If looks anything similar it’s a pit sigh
I have a female American Pit Bull terrier and she is by far the most affectionate dog I have ever come across. She cuddles like no other.
War Robots Exposed how did you train her! We just got a female American pitiful terrier and she just wants to launch to my cozy socks and bottom of pjs. And doesn’t listen. I’m scared I’m not going to train her well and she will be aggressive.
itzamar julian My husband and I have a Apbt, she is 4 months old. We got her at 3 months. Within the first week she learned her name, the word no, come, and how to use the potty pad. Within the 2nd week she learned stay, lay down, get off, get up, go eat, and bring it. She is also very affectionate, playful, and vocal to what she wants. You have to be loving, but firm from day one. Consistency is key. Also keeping them active, and mentally challenged. They are stubborn, but they are also willing to please. Stay consistent and you will have a stubborn but happy and obedient doggy.
You most likely have a BBM, not an APBT. Purebred APBT are quite rare, and aren't found in shelters often. Red nose and blue nose are backyard breeder terms for their mutts. They're not APBTs no matter how much they say they are.
My favorite thing is when my dog busts open my bedroom door at night...if I am too tired to greet her, I just lift up the covers and she crawls in.
So does mine! she loves blankets ;)
I'd say, one of the most realistic evaluations of a Pit Bull I've ever seen. Pits are great dogs who require great handlers. Its not for the young, the old, the weak or timid.
Facts man when I had my bullmastiff years ago she was damn job sometimes but I got though it lol
I got my pitbull when I was 11 and trained her well with very minimal help, despite the fact that she was reactive :)
Or anyone else they've eaten.
Who are they for then? They're for anyone who can care for them properly and that includes the young, the old the weak or timid, especially..!
Not for the young? I had two pitbulls at my house one belonged to my dad and the other one was mines. Remember my dad told me that he would get it for me on Christmas and that I had to take 100% responsibility of it I kept asking him for one for the longest time until my dad finally said yes. His name was big boss. We were always together around the time I boxed, played soccer, and wrestled. So every morning at 6am and at night we would always go jogging a good 4 and even sometimes 6 miles and he loved it so much he would get so excited. We both got our exercise and it allowed me to go for runs alone without my parents feeling worried about me. I miss him a lot he was my best friend and he always made me happy and feel so alive. He had tons of energy and as a very athletic teenager I was also super energetic. We just matched energy so much and were so happy together. I miss him RIP Big Boss
A real pit bull. Beautiful!
Facts man nothing but GAME
I'm tired of dumbasses calling thier dog pitbull when they aren't.
This is, by far, the best and authentic portrayal of the APBT. Great job on keeping it real and pointing out not only the good, but the “bad” to owning an APBT, for example: that most are dog aggressive and that they’re a “handful” and not for beginners. I adopted mine 4 months ago and he’s awesome. Super affectionate, great with kids and people and needs lots of activity. So easy to train. Had one accident the first day we got him and none since. He’s great around other dogs as well however, he’s shown at the dog park that if a dog starts a scuffle, he won’t back down and will get into it, yet he proved that he respects me as his pack leader because he quit and submitted as soon as I called his name, though admittedly, it took him a few seconds. To be fair, two other dogs at the dog park jumped in to the mix after the first dog turned on mine while he was drinking water. The other dogs owner said that her lab “bullies” other dogs that try to drink from the community water fountain (and in my opinion, that dog doesn’t need to be around the water fountain or at the dog park, period). When the lab turned on mine, my dog protected himself and others got adrenalised and joined in the fight so for my dog to stop on command at all is admirable. Once the dogs were separated and calmed down, (I put mine on leash and sat at a picnic table across the park to calm him down), that same black lab ran up to us and latched on to my dogs neck! My dog obeyed and didn’t retaliate. If the lab would not have let go on his own, I was going to drop the leash and let my dog protect himself. Thank goodness I didn’t need to do that because I’m afraid my dog could really hurt another, if needed. That debunks the “all pits are killers” nonsense. Ive seen more aggressive black labs at the dog park than pits and there are a good handful of pits that regularly go to the dog park.
Great post! It should be noted that you have an EXCEPTIONAL Pit. Most Pits do NOT respond the way yours does. There are FAR too many irresponsible and unknowledgeable large breed dog owners. These are always the first ones to take their dogs to the dog park, or allow them to be walked by a little girl who has no real control over the animal.
you know what they say, "pitbulls won't start the fight but they will definitely end it"
An adopted dog isn’t a purebred apbt. It’s just a guesstimate
@@drebodollaz3504 you're the one guesstimating simply based after the fact it's adopted 🤦🏽♂️
I totally agree and relate to your story. I have 3 male pits and they have been attacked by various breeds at the local dog park from yorkies to 150 pound saint bernards. The dog owners either ignore the situation or over react if my dogs try to defend themselves.
You will never regret taking your dog to obedience training, I just cannot recommend it enough. Everything he says is right on!
The recommended obedience training for a pit bull is a .45 caliber 280 grain hollow point bullet.
When you buy a game bred APBT you have a 24/7 responsibility to keep him/her out of trouble. All of us who have owned game bred APBT's are well aware of how much trouble they will get into if left to their own devices.
@2centavos they have high animal aggression and are very agile.... a combination for trouble like jumping through high fences and attacking a random dog
MIne is fine with other dogs. But small animals like cats, or squirrels, etc. set her off. So I started obedience training early.
@@SonyaLCH mine is totally different fine with cats and little dogs But once it sees a Big dog he becomes aggresif
Why did you let the lab bite your dog the second time lol you could have stopped it
I've never owned a APBT and probably never will just not my preference but I wish more APBT owners thought like you and were always on it. They often fall into the wrong hands. People don't do enough homework before buying a dog. I'm currently looking at an American Akita but know I need to do more homework first. Big dog bigger responsibilities.
Beautiful dog! This APBT has the perfect physique.
My female pit was the biggest lover!!! Sometimes it was almost to much! Lol.. I miss her.. 😥
I really like this dude. he’s amazing. He respects the history and the background and puts time and effort into his dog.
So many people today say they have a pit but the reality is they have bandogs or bullys
What is a band dog?
Facts like you never lie
@@TheRealNinoBrown Band dogs are pit bulls x mastiffs.
@@mindfreak9674 you mean bandogs. Band dogs usually play guitar or drums.
@@MS-we4wi my bad hahaha
West is awesome, he reflects his owner. Good job thanks for showing that not all pits are vicious killers.
They are killers. Warriors
I don't think he said that they weren't killers. He said 24x7 supervision. Don't get one if you don't think they are killers.
Not even most of them are like that. Some have bad owners or training.
@@CurlyFromTheSwirly Until they snap.
@@WoundedEgo if you think that pit bulls snap so do other dogs but they are too small to even do anything
Him barking at the tv was hilarious! He's like "why do you look just like me"? I love Pitts
More like " Come on son-of-a-bitch lets roll at it"
Snape Snape Severus Snape I think he was thinking “kill”
I pretty sure he saying "i Will kill you" in term of animal aggresive nothing beat pit
“I DO NOT RECOMMEND AN APBT FOR A BEGINNER” louder for the people in the back!! Love and affection does not make an emotionally healthy dog.
This is the problem with PB owners! they actually think cuddles softens them up
love and affection did a lot for my pit bull.. training was a big part as well. but it's rude to think all pit bull owners do this. a lot of pb owners are very knowledgeable about dogs and how to train them.
Ive had my APB for 8 years now, and he got attacked by another dog awhile back. I started cuddling and being more emotional wjth him more after that, and I noticed more protective behavior from him...things he never did before like bark at a stranger walking by etc. I have always consistently continued training him, but I couldn't quell his new odd behaviors. I got a new trainer and worked on obedience training and he said to not be emotional etc. Well...kicked him off the couch, outta bed, and placed more rules in the house. His behavior instantly changed back to normal. Love him to death, so happy that he's back to normal.
The first dog I ever trained was a female blue nose pitbull...and I did fantastic in my opinion, she was my "nanny" dog, and loved people and dogs alike.
Ye I’m 15 and I was gonna get a pitbull but ended get and American bully there a really good first dog
I don't like to see real APBT's being used for anything to do with protection work or anything to do with biting humans, as I think it goes directly against 100's of years breeding and the breeds temperament. I know times have changed, but imo the reason we love APBT's and our working SBT's so much is because they were bred not to bite humans and to me if you rear/breed away from that you loose what's so special about them. Lovely dog in the video and love to see the real APBT being showed love. Keep it up. Love from UK 🇬🇧
Fractal Universe imo when you take advantage of a bulldogs drive just to bite humans you make it no different than Mastiff, Presa, Cane and all the other man eaters. Here in the U.K you had dogmen that had yards but a lot of men had dogs that were family pets that they took to the pub at a weekend just for entertainment so biting humans just wasn't what they wanted or tolerated. Dog fighting back then was a lot more than throwing 2 dogs to go at each other. The rituals in boxing were mirrored in dog fighting and played a big part in the "sport". Even the men with yards that had the odd dog that was a handful and did bite, they didn't want that in there dogs and if the dog wasn't winner it wouldn't be given yard space. Like I said, times have changed, but to me I think there's better uses for bulldogs than taking advantage of there nature to bite humans. Just my opinion
Debo Devil I understand where you are coming from but at the same time, they are such high energy and high drive dog that they need SOME kind of job and/or exercise. I've seen pits used as herd protectors. Obviously they weren't bred for that either but they are thrilled to have a job.
I don't really like the people breeding the dogs for that either, sports like IPO can basically be just obedience and sleeve targeted I don't like the thought of using them for PP but that's of course not my business what someone does with their dog I would just never do it if I get one.
Apbt are animal aggressive not human hate ppl thinking and making this dog guard dogs
Debo Devil pitbulls were sent to war before as well as are known for protecting their families ! They may not go looking for it but they will protect their families and property !!!
a flirt pole is also a great tool to use to make your dog tired . works great in the backyard as well!
This dog is a beautiful, well-trained athlete!
I am literally addicted to dogumentary tv. This is a great video and APBTs (bulldogs) are my favorite. Red, red nosed and black brindle dogs, THE BEST.
GianniAzul3609 same g
GianniAzul3609 Bulldogs are not APBTs. You just got your breeds mixed up.
Caitlyn Adams yeah but pitbulls originated from bulldogs
Caitlyn Adams do your research into the bull breeds then come back to this convo. Many historians say the pit bull is the original bulldog.
+GianniAzul3609 These people fail to understand the original Dogmen all knew the dogs as "Bulldogs" regardless of the hype over the earlier names like Half & Half or Yankee Terrier. I love a sound Bulldog regardless of the pedigree or admixture.
I got so blessed with my pitty. Never formally trained her but she is so well behaved, loves people, loves kids, loves other dogs. She is so chill.
Why tf wouldn't your train it?
@@BhadVhibescould be she knew how to train a dog naturally. Or did all the right things through work/experience/research. Dog is chill.
@@edwinortiz4533 we really don't know that, I don't know her dog so I won't assume, but you should always train a powerfull dog, assuming she has a real pitbull, those dogs have extremely high prey drives, people should know how to train them with commands so its easier to control their natural behaviour, female pitbull do tend to be a little more chill tho.
Every time I watch this I just appreciate the breed more and always want to go on a date with this man and do dog sports together. I love his transparency, honesty, and his authenticity that help him and his dog thrive, which benefits him and his dog and helps represent the breed in a lucrative and proactive way.
Underrated. Would love to own one and run the woods with it. One of the best representative of the "Bull & Terrier" family. Sporty, athletic, bred for performance... In the right hands, they are gold. Love the breed history. Tribute to the dogmen who invested their time, money and heart. Long life to the APBT !! 💯💯💣💣🏆🏆🔥🔥👏👏
That dog is ripped !!
pure muscle
Thank you Zeke been waiting on this one for a good minute. Dogumentary Tv your killing it!
My own dog from a shelter (fairly near the Michael Vick fiasco) it turns out is a 'game type' dog and looks almost identical to the one shown. I did not realize it until I saw my dog fight and go after certain other dogs. 2 rehabbers showed and explained that my dog is not a regular APBT and his rehab has helped me love him enough to handle him as an animal that needs to have a job. His is 'retrieve' and follow commands.
I miss my sweet 'Pitbull.. 6 years without her.
THE Berrby my pit passed. Away.in nov of 2017..stay strong
Same here... I got my first pitbull when i was 12 .. when threw him out when i was 14 due to some sever disease..
Tony Cornea threw him out!!??!
5 years without him :'(
me too. he changed my life for better
Thank you for making this video It's ridiculously hard to explain to people what a real american pitbull terrier is do to all the misconceptions and mixed exotic dog that are being breed today. 👌💯
Hey friend can't wait to see your next video ✌
This looks identical to my dog. I've never met a more intense dog before in my life. She tries to take on horses when we cross them on our hikes and just the other day two coyotes tried attacking her and my other dog and she flipped the script and started going after them. I actually got afraid for the coyotes. They have amazing confidence.
Sounds like a good doggo you have there
We have a pittie, I call him an American Staffordshire Terrier mix. He came to us through fostering, then we adopted him. He is about 6 months old now. When he came into our home there was zero aggression toward our other dog and our cat. Zero. He goes to the dog park every morning-he is doing really well. He has learned to be a dog. Again, no aggression. Everyone at the park loves him. We are kind toward our animals, and we the people in the family are the lead dogs. When dogs are led by confidence and kindness they respond really well. He is very affectionate and loving. He loves to be loved. Our other dog, a large Lab mix loves him too. Also, his ears are not clipped. I really don't understand clipping ears and tails to satisfy man's standards. Let the animals alone, let them be natural. They are beautiful as they are.
I just got an APB as a service dog and I'm so thankful to your channel for opening my mind to the breed
10:28 "I do not recommend a beginner owning an APBT." I agree, but pitbulls can teach you a lot. I have no problem if beginners own a pitbull but they have to be committed and do their research. Also, I'm in early highschool and my pitbull is totally fine respite the fact that she was previously abused and very reactive so I don't agree that you have to be older to own a APBT (although it does help).
neptunefloat I think this is a more general statement because of the respect needed to safely own one of these dogs / I have two and they are extremely friendly, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t cause serious damage if not properly managed
If you have the patience and dedication to learn and a strong sense of responsibility, you are not a beginner. You are already a good owner.
Agreed
I’ve owned a German shepherd, basset hound, and husky before. Now I switched to the terrier breed. I got a bull terrier and an American Staffordshire Terrier. Best dogs ever. Can be a handful especially in the puppy years, but once they learn what you want and how to behave, they are the best addition to a family. My kids love our terriers now and the dogs are super protective over them.
I thought i knew what unconditional love was until my pitbull just came into my life and showed me what it really is
The dog looks so fit! I love his long normal ears
I love the way Hai has properly established the house dominance. My bed, I give you permission to be here, my shoe you can not eat it but here have this toy to distract and enjoy, etc.
This dog also looks amazing for a seven year old dog.
Well seven is not old so I hope so
Fantastic looking dog and a decent, honest and responsible owner - another great vid Zeke :-)
Finally yes!!!! I've been waiting for this for so long 😊
I've had so many dogs throughout my life. By far the best dog I've had. My 1st APBT rescued at 6 months. Right around 1 year to this day.
I just got a red nose yesterday and already she’s so needy haha I love it 💖💖
A red nose? What’s that
@Htx457 the correct term isn't red nose or blue nose. Go and register the dog and on papers there's no such thing as red nose or blue nose.
There is red nose but not blue nose pitbulls dont come in blue Staffordshire terriers can come in blues
Thank you, for the great information you shared. Wes is a beautiful dog, and well mannered. I just got a rescue American pit bull terrier, and it’s my first time with this breed. Jaxx is an amazing dog, and another boy that’s a lover. He lives inside with us, and I love how protective he is with our home and my girlfriend. We both work with him daily, and he’s funny as hell and so freaking smart... and definitely strong willed. He’s an amazing dog and worth all the work we’re putting into him. Thanks for your wise words brother!!!
So happy i found this video. I gain more knowledge for my 4month old APBT. She’s very affectionate. Really! And kind ❤️
Great animal ...and a great owner!!! Thanks for the upload .
To own a pit or other big breeds, you must be the alpha. Period.
Very true. Bully breeds are so loving but with any dog (even small dogs) you need to be the leader. Many owners fail at this and that is why there are so many dog attacks. Almost never are pit attacks. My collie is huge and stubborn. She chews on rabbit heads and I have to pry her mouth open. Pits are very sweet.
The way that dog walks on a leash,it looks like the dog is the leader.
I would say with any breed really
The alpha thing has been debunked.
Truth!
My 14 wk old Red nose is super affectionate and cuddly 24/7! I love this video that shows how adaptable and easy going the Pitbull is.Whether it’s apartment living or big backyard as long as they get there exercise they will be a lifelong friend and protector .Plus I love my pups muscles! He’s swole already
Love seeing real apbts shown in this light. I was worried when i clicked the video id see staffies or bullys but this is the real deal
Great video, happy to see him not shy away from the history and the dog aggression tendencies. They can still be great dogs, but to many people refuse to acknowledge those facts.
People who have had their grandma's face ripped off or their toddler torn into bloody pieces refuse to acknowledge those lies.
Best show about dogs on KZhead. Great dog breed. My favorite by far.
I volunteer at a dog shelter as a dog walker and every pitbull who has come through our doors were/are very sweet and charismatic; given the circumstances under which they both came into our shelter, they were both very sweet and always ecstatic about going on their walks😁🐕; they were both adopted which is fantastic!
Dude, Zeke you are THE best! Thank you for the content.
He said his dog was an escape artist ...Oh How I can relate
My female is cuddlier than my male. I think it depends on the individual dog.
Fresno is like an hour from me. Dogumentary travels where the information is relevant to the content. I appreciate that.
This is one of the most honest, and informative dog breed videos online. In my opinion and from my limited experience with bull terrier breeds. SBT and EBT in the uk.
Excellent video. You cover some good points about owning an APBT that most people dont realize or dont want to realize about the breed.
I hate how people generalize all blocky head dogs as pit bulls. So many mixed breeds can have square faces depending on what it's mixed with. My dog is a black lab boxer mix but has a blocky face because of the boxer and he's constantly getting judged by it and so am I. I don't even attempt to take him to dog parks even though he's dog friendly because he's a rough player and I don't want someone freaking thinking he's attacking their dog. I Like pits and have nothing against them. I just wish there wasn't so much ignorance of the breed
As someone who is looking to own a pit bull for my next dog, this was very informative. Thank you for posting this.
I have my first real puppy and i’ve been training him myself and it has actually been pretty easy because i’ve been training him since he was only a couple weeks old but he is very wild and likes to play and you can’t leave him alone for a very long time but i love him so much he is such a sweetheart and wouldn’t trade him for anything
My girl passed at 14 she had gotten a tumor in her noise an had to be put down but she was the smartest dog I have every had she loved kids a lot and good with some dogs not all but she was well trained
Real talk.. this dudes a G...glad I caught this..and he's watching Mr. Stratton in the background....those who know....know we are the only breed where confirmation isn't a look...or a shape...dead game has to be witnessed event..LOVING what we do....tenacity and drive even in the most austere environments
Does a wolf trial count? my lil man has a big ol hole/scar on the top of his head from that experience.. might have lost some IQ points in the whole ordeal too but we still love him :D
Thanks for the info this my own personal dog and I needed help on more things about the dog and you help a lot!!
I have a female apbt (she’s had an embark test) it’s crazy the amount of people who don’t realize these dogs aren’t american bully’s or staffys, they a small framed dogs, my dog also loves cats and other dogs. My first dog I’ve adopted and even some of my family says she’s the best dog they have met
YES...BEEN WAITING ON THIS ONE. I WANT ONE OF THESE.
Forget about protection training the dog knows how to protect you for sure. Teach you are American Pitbull Terrier how to hunt and you'll be amazed. Transfer that dog aggression these dogs can track and have lion like stalking abilities. My dog was not dog aggressive unless dominance was tested he got along with nice dogs just fine.
Very true... I am in Texas and Arkansas and I let mines chase hogs and rabbits
Glad this series is finally making a comeback
My girl Aayva is turning 3 on Halloween. Everything he said is right on point. They are very loyal and high energy dogs with an even HIGHER prey drive. They're amazing and it is not only important for you to train them, but you as well. If you don't walk your APBT they most certainly will tell you. My girl is so communicative!! I love this video of seeing an actual APBT. Hope you guys are doing great!!
In Australia before the government made them illegal, my mother use to breed American pitbull terriers. They were the most absolute gorgeous, affectionate and protective mf dogs ☹😔 I remember when I was a young child growing up, my bedroom was outside separate from the house. and so my mother would let 3-4 pitbulls sleep in my room at night. Safe to say I felt super safe... I love the way you told people to greet your dog too, that's how I greet nearly every dog..
I always wanted an American Pit bull terrier great dogs. Instead I adopted my special American Staffy also a great dog.
Amstaffs are beautiful! I am more of an English staffy guy myself. Just live their compact size.
Loved his opinion and how he really had a great sense of know how with them 👏 this was by far a favorite and nothing negative just really liked it from a pit mix owner myself
I have a Pitbull Terrier mix as well and she is amazing,true to us and a very loving dog
Got my APBT at 6 weeks old (too early) and have been socializing him since 8 weeks. He's currently 17 weeks and hasn't seen a person or a dog he didn't want to greet. At the dog park he's fairly submissive, but has defended himself from time to time when treated roughly by other dogs. Only a couple times have I seen him be the aggressor and I shut that down immediately. I can echo, it takes LOTS of training and attention, but the result has been that our JaiDee is the best behaved and most loving dog I've ever owned, and better than pretty much any dog owned by family or friends. I wouldn't say a newbie shouldn't own an APBT ... I'd say somebody who isn't committed to training and socializing their dog shouldn't own one. But for that matters, nobody should own a dog if they aren't willing to put in the time.
These dogs are all about their owner. They’re happy when you’re happy. They want to be trained and they want to please. Early socialization is sooo important. IMO it’s the best family dog. Super protective and loyal. And very intuitive
I was raised with dogs. My mom preferred dachshunds over everything else so when i got the chance to get a bigger dog, i ran with it. I got my dog when i was 12. She was 4 days old and was from an abandoned litter. I had no idea what breed she was but as soon as her features developed, I found out that she is 1/2 Lab abd 1/2 APBT. Bailey has the body, tail, and fur of a lab with the coloring, face, ears, stalky-ness, and temperament of a Pit. She is 12 now and i love her to pieces!!!
I’ve rescued purebred and mixed breed APBTs for 30yrs. My most recent purebred (DNA tested) is just like this guys dog, he looks like APBTs are supposed to look = agile, athletic, not overly bulky. There are so many badly bred “purebreds” that are actually mixed with breeds to make them bigger or more bulky, but they lose the amazing athletic ability. There is also unfortunately a lot of bad breeders who inbreed them. Ppl often think my purebred is a mix, because ppl don’t know what real APBTs look like. They are a breed that loves to work!! They will try to help you with everything. Training and giving them a job of some kind is key. My Presa/Pit is an amazing therapy dog, my 2 younger ones (purebred and APBT/Boxer) are into rally/obedience. They are amazing at obedience, sports etc. My first dog did horse jumping courses and rock climbing. They also make me feel safe in my house too. You have to know dog language/behavior to best understand and train an APBT. They’re very sensitive and smart, they can easily out smart and pick up bad habits from a beginner. If you’re anxious, they will be too. Anxiety leads to aggression for all breeds but these guys are an intense breed in general.
I had one when I was 8years old sadly she passed away in 2015 😭 2019 I'm adopting a new puppers soon Miss you Abby 💜
beautiful dog and wonderful he gives the raw diet.
This is one of my favourite of your videos! APBT really need owners like Hai.
4:55 FYI everyone, that is not a starved dog. That's a worked dog, that is ripped. That's what an in shape Pit is supposed to look like. That dog exercises and is def on a diet. That is a properly fed, properly exercised Pit. Good on you for whoever takes the time to work and condition that dog. He is perfect. 6:36 your dog is probably game, aka high prey drive. Not necessarily meaning the dog is from fighting stock, just means your dog is more animal reactive. However, cops and military look for game dogs because they never give up. Same reason why Search & Rescue also use them.
Hai... If you want a smaller dog but love APT then consider Staffordshire Bull Terriers! They're smaller than APT but are pretty similar however NOT AS hyper active although still far from lazy lol they're more manageable. I do like Frenchies though...
Then that wouldn’t be an apt.. those are staffys
awesome video... well educated owner and beautiful ABPT to boot. if all pit bull owners were this responsible the breed wouldn't have such a bad reputation! Respect ❤👌
The problem is mutts, bullies, mastiffs and American bulldogs being labeled as pitbulls.
Great DOC. Lots of great owner and dog breed/type information/advice. Much of this dog owners dog perspectives I agreed with. Thanx.
The variety of breed types within the pitbull classification are astounding.
My dog barked at the dog on the TV screen who was barking at the dog on the TV screen.
I'm happy you did this, with the caption real apbt. All that blue, red nose 80lbs pitbull stuff is ridiculous.
slottie Bob foster Up to 85 lbs. is acceptable for males. 65 for females.
slottie Bob foster yeah what's up with all that? Bully dogs aren't real pit bulls
curious about that my pit is 82 lbs at one year and growing....not a bully...it's a grey brindle..he is def a pitbull...just fed good and gets good excercise
is your dog papered? if not then how do you truly know is not a mix
You can have purebred dogs that are monsters compared to the breed standard. My family breeds (purebred, apri registered) ridgebacks, and almost every one of our dogs are huge compared to the standard. The largest male weighed 100lbs at 8 months. No mixing whatsoever. But when you breed large dogs to large dogs, you end up with larger puppies. Similar to how we've bred such small chihuahuas.
Good information. I have a 19 week old puppy. She’s head strong n very energetic. Currently she’s in the home. Iim gone for 9-10 hour mon-fri. I walk her twice a day on avg. Not dog aggressive yet. I know it’s coming. All her dog encounters, just sniffs them out. No barking or aggression now. I’ve been around Pits (not as a owner). For over 20 yrs. These are very good dogs.
apbt videos like this are satisfying to watch love your video man !!!!!
Our pitty plays with my ferrets, shes gentle with them but would never leave them unattended. She also gets along with other dogs. She behaves extremely well at the dog park around people and dogs but at home if she hears or sees someone around the house, she gets very aggressive. Must be a territorial thing. Dogs are like people, each one has it's own personality and traits. I've never had a more loving dog than our pit.
It’s not a pit
Not a real pitbull
Its probably a pitbull terrier with low pray drive could exist. My mate had a apbt that just chases rabbits and doesn't attack them.
Wow...I just got an Amstaff 3 days ago and named him 'Capone' and here I thought would be the only one with such a cool name for my pup...lol
It's still a cool name, man. Don't sweat it.
I’m sold! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!
Dog looks fantastic! That diet and exercise is working.
Props! Nice looking dog!
nice dog and great owner
Great responsible ownership. That's one happy healthy dog and it shows! Beautiful condition
I go for temperament and energy level when choosing a pet-quality APBT. I lucked out with my first. She was a gorgeous little 'street dog" I got from the shelter. Medium energy, but could turn it up to 11 and back again in an instant. She was never dog-aggressive, but she was no shrinking violet, either. The most interesting thing was that she somehow knew 'rodent' from all other animals...she was as agreeable as they come until it came to rodents... and then it was 'game on.' Best dog I've ever had or known.
Pits have pretty faces.
They are beautiful. The best dogs.
Great weight for a seven year old dog
Excellent owner and honest.
This is a beautiful dog and a great owner. My APBT looks a ton like his and they are just an amazing breed
