Once you become the owner of a Pit Bull puppy, you will also acquire many new responsibilities as well. One thing that all new owners should do is crate train their puppies. Crate training can be very beneficial to both owner and puppy when done correctly. Crate training will make your first few weeks as a dog owner much easier and more enjoyable.
By crate training your new Pit Bull puppy, not only will you have a house-broken puppy in less time, your puppy will have its own space during that time, which will make it feel much more safe and secure. Crate training has been proven to help ease the puppy’s transition to its new home, prevents the puppy from chewing up your belongings, and can help protect the puppy from many dangers that exist in the home. Puppies are naturally curious about their new space, and can easily come into contact with things that could harm them in the home.
Before you take your new puppy home, you will need to obtain your crate. Crates are fairly inexpensive and can be bought at most local pet supply stores. Some pet owners who do crate training also choose to make the crate rather than buy it, either option works the same. Whether you purchase or make your own crate, there are certain features it should have. Crates made of wire tend to work best, but the important thing is to make sure it can be divided into sections, so you can adjust it to the size of your Pit Bull puppy. It tends to work best if you buy a large crate and just section it off so that you won’t have to constantly buy larger crates as your dog grows. It is also beneficial to have a removable tray on the bottom of the crate to make it easier to clean. The most popular crates come with trays that slide out, which can be a real time saver, especially for breeders that may have more than one puppy.
Once you have obtained your crate, bring your new puppy home and introduce him to it. The puppy will need to learn about his new space. As with training any animal, it is important to be consistent. It is also very important to never use the crate to punish your dog, as it will have a negative impact on your training. The puppy should feel at ease in its crate. Your time and effort will soon payoff, making you and your puppy both happy in the end.

lol wow i remember back in the days i would see pitbull most of the times (when pitbull wasnt “famous/popular”) lik for example in the apartment i used to live in (he would come and visit this girl that lived there) and also Ruby Tuesdays and sometimes the mall but after he got famous never again i saw him ..
All APBT's are born with floppy ears. The ones with pointed ears have had surgery "cropping" to make them look that way for aesthetic purposes.
Pit bulls were originally created in the 1800's in England. The original dogs were a mix of bulldogs and terriers. However, when I say bulldog, I'm not talking about "English bulldogs." The bulldogs in England back then were much bigger than today and they're faces weren't as smooshed. Those English bulldogs looked a lot like today's American bulldogs. They also resemble a breed called an Olde English Bulldogge.
Oh pitbull is sooooo fine.! Iloveeeyouuhhhhhh u chongas.!
no breed of dog,large or small should be allowed in public off lead.
i don't blame you for being afraid for your 3yr.old.
a staffie is a powerful dog and the injuries they inflict are horrific when they attack.
now,that being said,i have 2 staffies.there is no better breed around a child than a staffie if the dog has been properly socialized. none any worse if they have not.
mine have been.if you ever consider getting a staffie or even a mix you should get it when it is very young and be sure it is spayed/neutered.
a pack leader needs to be established right off to give the pup some sense of security because just like a child,they crave limits and boundaries.this lets them know where they stand within the family.
a "spoiled" child is not really a happy child and neither is a "spoiled" dog.if you really want to learn more about the breed you can go on line and type in American Stafforshire Terrier and it will take you to a number of sites .
also a good site for all breeds is http:/www.nextdaypets.comdirectory/breeds
please don't condemnn the breed condem irresponsible owners.
FYI,staffies used to be called "nanny dogs" because they are so good with children.
if you can stand one more piece of advice.cesar milan has some excellent books on dog psychology.if you get the chance pick one up.it will help you in future with any breed you chose to get.
long answer i know,i hope it helps you .
both dogs are very good companion dogs. How well they get along depends on you and how they are introduced and treated while together.
Wow all is mmmmmm

It is common for a lot of BYB's or others to dock, but that being said in both the American Staffordshire Terrier and the APBT breed standards, it states tail is not to be docked.
there stupid!! poor pit i would of slapped dahh shit out of them!!!
Any dog will guard but if you are going to use your dog as JUST a guard dog the possibility is he will turn aggressive in all situations.
If he is going to be a pet and you want to know if he would guard you then i would say that most dogs will protect their family if they have to.
hahaha , mmmmm ?
In Ontario, pit bulls are banned under existing legislation (October 2005). There are tougher restrictions on breeding, tougher rules for current owners of pit bulls and other restrictions. This legislation will also affect other "dangerous" breeds.
Since the legislation, I haven't heard of charges being brought against owners – the legislation might lack "teeth"! But another thing that is important to remember is that there needs to be enforcement officers to lay charges, etc…
One thing I don't understand from your question is the word "scoucers". What is that?
lmao…….. pit bull <3
If you are talking about the American Staffordshire Terrier and the American Pit Bull Terrier you areally wont be able to tell the differance.
there are 3 different breeds.
the APBT or American Pit Bull Terrier
AST or American Staffordshire Terrier and the
SBT or Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
now the APBT and AST Are pretty much the same breed but reg with different registries.
The AST did come from the APBT when AKC decided to register the APBT they changed the name.
now the SBT is a smaller dog but has the same body type as the APBT and the AST for the most part. The SBT should never have its ears cropped like most of the AST and APBT do.
The APBT and AST are both USA breeds but
the SBT is a breed from the UK. it is not as popular in the USA as the APBT or the AST.
Here is a little history on the APBT and AST .
the APBT was the only breed to make up the Am Staffs.
when the AKC decided to start the Am Staff breed they used only UKC registered APBT. they did change the name to get away from the fighting history of the breed though.
in 1898 the UKC was formed for the purpose of registering the APBT as a pure breed. this was the 1st breed the UKC did recognize but later they did become a multi breed registry and the 2nd largest and 2nd oldest registry in the USA.
then in 1936 the AKC did also register the APBT but did change the name to Staffordshire Terrier. then later in 1972 changed the name again to American Staffordshire Terrier so they would not get confused with their English cousins the Staffordshire Bull Terrier
from the AKC site
"These dogs began to find their way into America as early as 1870, where they became known as Pit Dog, Pit Bull Terrier, later American Bull Terrier, and still later as Yankee Terrier.
In 1936, they were accepted for registration in the AKC Stud Book as Staffordshire Terriers. The name of the breed was revised effective January 1, 1972 to American Staffordshire Terrier"
as the AKC doesn't recognize the APBT as a pure bred dog they really give little to no mention of them in the history of the breed and no mention of the UKC either.
hope this helps a little bit…
Edit to add:
althought the Am Staff and the American Pit Bull Terrier where the same breed in the beginning they are both been bred very differently. orig the Am Staff was bred primarily for show and the APBT was for fighting they have become very different.
The UKC does allow the Am Staffs to be registered as APBT so some people are crossing the 2 lines in UKC. I know of many people that call them Pitter Staffs ( an unofficial name)
The AKC will not allow the APBT to be registered with their registries at this time though.
Also People have been breeding the APBT and AST lower and thicker to make the low rider type of dogs. Many people believe others breeds may have been added tot he APBT or AST to make this new breed of dog.
They have also started their own registry and they are being called American Bullies.
here are some registry links for you
