These Two breeds are confused the whole time, especially when breeders wrongly label their American Bullies as Pitbulls. Today Animal Watch will meet these two breeds and tell you if THEY DANGEROUS?, ARE THEY DOG FRIENDLY?, WHY THEY ARE BANNED IN SOME COUNTRIES AND WHAT THE REALITY IS OF THEIR BREED TYPE AND CHARACTER! Watch and learn.

My Pitbull Terrier was a red nose. I rescued him from a woman when he was 18 months old. She was going to take him to the pound. I brought him home. So intelligent. I think he wasn't treated well before we got him. He was highly scared of the broom and hated people. I mean hated them. Only my family of 4 could be around him. And any animal I brought into the home he guarded. Every time I brought home baby chicks, he'd immediately sit and watch over them. Last year I brought home baby chicks and our cat walked over to look into the tote. Bruno (My dog) put his head between the cat the the chicks and gave him a "Back up right now" look. And the cat did. I trained my dog so much, unfortunately I could not get him to accept outside people. It caused him so much anxiety. To me, he behaved much like a livestock guardian. Like how you imagine a Kangal to give no craps about outsiders, and to just guard his own stuff? Like that. I could throw a piece of chicken and send him after it, and in mid chase tell him to "leave it" and he'd stop and look at me. and I'd call him away from it, treat him with a piece of chicken and then send him back out for the first piece, and he'd get to it and pause to wait and see if I'll call him off of it. He really was a wonderful dog with such an amazing temperament and personality. Bruno got sick in august 2022 and we had to say goodbye. He was 60lbs of pure unshakable Family Love, great personality, Intelligent, protective, and so so charming. We sing that song "We don't talk about Bruno..." But change some lyrics to "We won't forget about Bruno, no no..." Even now, as I think about him, I'm in tears. He's gone, but never forgotten and forever cherished.

I have an American Bully, got her when she was 3. She had never experienced cats beforehand and we had 4, so we had a bit of work. You could see her confusion when I would feed & pet them and a look of panic when they came up to her. They are now comfortable roomies. Good animal husbandry is always a key element.

True APBT’s are as athletic and game as any canine could ever be. Their quickness, speed, tenacity, determination, and willingness to never quit is one of a kind.

Putting pictures of bullies when talking about pitbull might add to the confusion lol

So last summer, my son and I were at an Animal Shelter and were charmed by a bright-eyed, fairly calm dog, who was a bit malnourished and under exercised. After a few months of hearty food and exercise, we realized we had an American Bully Classic. His personality is 100% relaxed with family, 75% relaxed with children he doesn't know, and 100% leery of any adult he doesn't know. If an unknown adult approaches him, he will back up and give a warning bark. Once he settles in, he seems to read off my energy and accept any adult around me. Treats help. Yes, this dog sleeps a lot during the day, but is a ball of energy in the evenings.

I'm thankful for this video. I'm 72, and had learned a lot about Pitties over the years but have never seen or encountered an American Bully. I've been a dog owner/lover my entire life. I've never owned a Pitbull but I've met hundreds of them. Years ago, I spent 20 years as a cop and we'd sometimes get "vicious dog" calls and when we showed up the dog was often a Pitbull. I think the fact those dogs barked a lot instead of being properly trained by their owners, along with their appearance, made people characterize them as "vicious." My whole life, dogs liked me right away, and I found that on those vicious dog calls that those dogs were actually very friendly - they had just not been properly raised to remain quiet and not to lunge at people. If they had, they wouldn't have been called vicious. I despise those who train dogs to fight. They are less than human and deserve to suffer the same fate their dogs do. The American Bully looks quite a bit different from the Pitbulls I've seen. I think by the size and muscling that there must be some Rottweiler bred into them. Perhaps I'm wrong. They are a handsome breed though and I can see where they'd make a pretty imposing sight for any burglar peering through a window or fence.

One of the problems, with pit bull terriers in particular, is that there is no margin for error. If an elderly woman is walking her Spaniel or Pomeranian or maybe miniature poodle and an APBT happens to be roaming free, it is almost 100% going to be a really bad outcome. These dogs are extremely powerful and almost always display unprovoked aggression in these sort of situations.
Added to that and this is unfortunate, the overwhelming majority of owners are thuggish, moronic types with combative, warrior type personalities. Yes, there are some responsible owners that manage their APBT responsibly, but, sadly, they are very much in the minority.

Ideally, local governments with the responsibility for registering ownership of dogs, should differentiate between the different breeds. Owners of dogs with the potential to do serious harm should be subject to very strict rules. The registering authority should demand very secure conditions on the property where the dog is housed. Fences and gates would need to be child proof to prevent the dog escaping and roaming unsupervised. The owners need to be vetted and anyone with a criminal record of violence or intimidation should be outright prohibited.
It should be made difficult for anyone to own these dogs and impossible for thugs and criminals.
Unfortunately, in this woke, politically correct world the dog licensing authority would not be allowed to discriminate against the breed of dog or the criminal owner. This allows the possibility to remain that, an elderly woman who pays her taxes and contributes to society in a positive way, will watch her beloved pet and companion killed in front of her eyes by an unsupervised APBT owned by a thuggish moron.

Thugs and criminals have a natural tendency to want the toughest, most violent dogs. You don't see these types of people with the abovementioned Spaniels or Pomeranians or miniature poodles. No, they have to own the meanest, toughest, most aggressive breeds.
Sure, no doubt these types of people are fully capable of loving their APBTs, but that love does not extend to anyone else or their dog.
Their egos demand domination of you and your dog and so only an APBT is good enough for them.

Thank you for a very informative video. I grew up with an Amercan Pitbull in the UK, we were fortunate to get him just before the ban, he was great dog and as friendly as they come. I have now got an 11 week old XL Bully so it was great to hear about the difference between the two breeds.

Best episode so far and finally a honest description of the APBT wich you dont find much

[stevel]

I had never wanted an American bully as I preferred breeds like the husky or German shepherd. One day I stopped at a local pawn shop. When I entered a bell rang and an American bully walked out from behind the counter. As it walked toward me it's expression changed from "I just woke up" to "I'm glad to see you, new friend". It stopped right next to me and look up at me clearly wanting attention. I pet him for a while and carried on with my business.

When I was leaving another customer walked in, the bell rang, and right on que the bully approached him the exact same way. When the dog looked up, the man offered a quick smile and carried on his way. Without any pets, and clearly disappointed, the bully hung it's head low and began it's journey back to the counter. I crossed paths with the dog on my way out, and pet him a few more times to make up for the other customer. With one last look of happiness from the bully, I left knowing I now need a husky, a German shepherd, and an American bully.

Mine thinks he’s a cat lol best dog I’ve ever owned. Mine is a pitty rescue who was ran over by a car by someone who wanted him to fight and he wouldn’t. I’m lucky to have adopted him. :)

❤ Thank you so much Animal Watch for making this comparison and for showing that although both breeds are labelled tough or dangerous they can both be very loving with the correct training and handling.
We've just lost one of our three precious rescued standard American Bulldogs and I am completely in love with the breed, their cookie personality and loving empathetic nature shine through in a family environment 😊.
I would gladly also rehome a pitbull were it not banned in the UK.
Owners need to take more responsibility for their dogs training and behaviour in public. If you can't be bothered training yourselves and your dogs (no matter what breed) then please don't bother having them in the first place!!

With the UK now facing an XL American Bully ban I am heartbroken that my dogs may be next on their list and have their right to run off lead and muzzle free removed or worse still have my dogs removed and destroyed. 😢😢😢

It's not all about how you reise a dog. I have a caucasian shepherd and i socialise him as much as i can. I go with him at trainings with other dogs, and between people...but in his yard you can't approach to him as a stranger. And some peope can't play or touch him in exterior...so for safety when i go out i always say to people to stay back

[roseofembers]

One of my first dogs I ever had was a pit bull terrier. She protected me and saved my life as a toddler. Miss her so much

[gypsyrose]

Lots of people don't know what a true APBT looks like. I've had a few people try to argue with me over mine because he's only 55 lbs.

[cathynobles]

That image of all the dogs that have been put down just made my heart drop. It is so sad all of the stereotypes these dogs are given. All dogs can love but you'll never see unconditional love like that of a pittie

[emilynolan]

Nice video but in fact it is the combination of how they are raised and managed with their genetics that determines how they behave. If you raise a golden retriever and a Caucasian shepherd the same way, you still won't get dogs that behave the same. Owners need tobe aware of their breed's genetic predispositions and manage them with prevention in mind. If you have a pittie you need to socialize it very well with other dogs and be careful about putting it in situations that might trigger fighting instincts. If you have a flock guarding breed like a Caucasian you need to put tons of effort into human socialization and obedience/ manners while at the same time not expecting it to be super friendly with strangers.

I had a male Pitbull that was an ex fighter at 120lbs I rescued when he was 3 yrs old. I was told they couldn't get matches for him because he was a quick killer in fights and he was to be put down. Unfortunately, I was the only person who could approach him in a loving manor due to his previous treatment. He was an angel towards me . I had to isolate him from other dogs but eventually became a sweet natured beast .

[JB_Hobbies]

Unfortunately, some American jurisdictions do ban American bullies. It’s not a direct ban, but I have seen ban language specifically naming pit bulls then stating that dogs that sufficiently resemble pit bulls are also banned. This wording is to cover pit bull mixes and related breeds. Anyone living in a city where a pit bull ban is in effect and wanting to get an American bully should call their city and confirm that a pit bull ban does not apply to the dog they want to get.

[tiffanybengera]

I used to be that person that was afraid of the breed . I volunteered at 2 shelters and the most breed that was in their was the Pit bull so I got over my fear . They were actually very loving and friendly . The other breeds were not as friendly.
