Those things are fucking scary when they're raised by crap owners. I've had to shoot one with a pellet gun since it was barking at a little kid and getting all crazy.

It's not the breed it's the owners. Some people just buy an apbt without actually thinking about it. If the dog can't run around for atleast 4 hours a day they will become hyper and angry after awhile. And if they can't run around at least get them a hanging rope so they wear themselves out.

Both are very nice looking dogs, your 1st dog reminds me of my dog & your second one has a pretty bada$$ look...cute cute cute!Old thread but I actually have two APBTs
I've had a chow and a rottwieler in the past, I think apbt's are my favorite breed by far

You should really take the dog out for as much walking jogging excersize as you possibly can (got a treadmill?) so he can work off his energy & be more mellow. These are high energy dogs that need a lot of time if they have issues. You have to be the head muthafunster in charge & work to make sure he knows you are alpha dog. I'm sure you've seen Cesar Milan the DogWhisperer? He really has great techniques & reasoning on handling headstrong dogs. Check him out for help with your new dog.
We have had 3 Am.StafTerrier mixes, all were the most loyal, loving, clever & eager to please (once convinced you're the leader) dogs. Our current is what we & the vet think to be an american/english staff. terrier with some boxer in her. She is a love-thinks she's a lap dog, a very well behaved dog & is super super sensitive. If hubby & I, or even people on tv, laugh too loud, argue or get raucous, she gets nervous & clingy, then once assured all is well, she'll flop over onto her back & chill. she looks like she'd rip you into itty bitty pieces but she never has done anything negative or hostile to any man, woman, child, kitten, cat, puppy, dog, parakeets...she even plays gently with our bunny. It's really in how they're raised & making sure you keep any of their issues in check by daily excersize & training with lots of love, IMHO. Good luck in your endevour, I'm sure he'll be an awesome dog & a treasure to your heart.
a pic of her with our lil dog a mini-pin...crashin on the couch, as usual!
