We adopted a Bullterrier x Pit Bull from a shelter he is a loving dog who is also
Protective of his family.It’s so nice that he is gentle with our cat and gets along well with our Doberman x.🤗💟

I adopted a 4 mo. old Pitty mix in Sept. '23. She was shot over 20 times with a pellet gun, some of which had to be surgically removed, then passed through multiple fosters before finding us, her forever family. I've always had Rotweilers & found them to be wonderful family dogs, but I have to admit, this little girl rivals any I've had as far as being the best family pet. With her history, it's nothing short of a miracle that she has no aggression towards humans or other dogs. We did have to work through some food aggression issues, probably due to her having to fight for every scrap at a young age, but with consistent effort that was overcome within a couple weeks. She's now healthy, happy, & a joy to be around.

I've had pitbulls for the last 25 years and by far they are the best breed of dog to have as a family dog a friend and a companion they are so loyal

Adopted an 8 year old amstaf. After about a year I came home and the dog greets me, tail wagging frantically, happy to see me, but upper lip curled up and showing teeth. It took me a while to realize she was trying to smile.

Just adopted a staffy from a rescue. She is the most loving, beautiful soul. We are training, training, training so she knows Mama is the boss!❤

Thank you for this! May the hundreds of people on the internet spoutin off misinformation about pitties see this. My pit pointer mix is a happy, loving gentle boy. He is almost 9 and has been that way all his life. They really are sweet babies. I ffel that about many other pitbulls i have met over the years too.

I have two American staffys / Rottweiler mixes and they’re simply amazing. Incredibly loyal, loveable, trainable and way smarter than you’d think ( they figured out how to open the backyard door and let themselves in ) Im so grateful for these dogs, best companions I could’ve asked for

I have a Am Staff that I adopted from a shelter and he is the most lovable dog on the planet. He gives kisses and hugs and has not ate anyone's face off thus far.

Blue nose and red nose are just color like fawn, brindle not a different breed or sub species

Proud Pitbull Terrier owner here, their reputation is unjustified to put it mildly.

We had an AmStaff female, she was an amazing dog. Took her to obedience when she was a pup, as a result she got along fine with other dogs. Unfortunately she was death to cats, raccoons, groundhogs, possums and weasels. She was quite friendly with everyone, as a result of this she wasn't a very good watch dog. She was great with children and she could run at incredible  
speed when chasing prey.

I ❤️ Staffordshires.
All Pit Bulls are adorable, sweet, gentle, smart, intelligent, beautiful & precious. Training is extremely important.

I believed the myth that pits were dangerous until I adopted one. Turns out that decision was one of the best I ever made.

I’m a Pitbull owner, I had a female APBT Red Nose from a pup till 13yrs old and the 1st thing I did when I got her was read as much as I could on the breed, and she was naturally just the sweetest, most loyal caring, loving dog I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned Shepards, Huskies, Labs, an American Eskimo and even a collie, hands down best all around dogs… I now own a male APBT Blue Nose who I got when he was 9 months and he’s going to be 2 this august and he’s just as sweet, loving, caring, loyal energetic, protective and fun… they really are such great dogs… if you raise them with love, care, kindness and respect they will be sweet, loving and caring, and they are so resilient I’ve seen adult pitties that were abused, ”in bred”abandoned even used as fighting dogs get shown love and care and kindness and turned out to be some of the sweetest most loving dogs ever, it’s how u raise them idc what anybody says, if I lock you up in a cage at birth and hurt you everyday and show you aggression and teach you to fight and kill…. Guess what when I let you out your gonna do what I taught u to do…. That goes for any dog even humans And they do not have lock jaws, that’s BS that came about cuz of the poor dogs that were used for fighting they wouldn’t let go no matter what pain they felt or what they went thru, so then some dummies said there jaws lock!! Can’t get them off!! No… they are super focused and determined and have a very high tolerance for pain… that’s why sadly they are used for fighting they all around have the best characteristics for it, and they don’t just “snap” either… another myth, I’d bet that anytime that supposedly happened if we were able to see the moments leading up to it either the dogs would be messed with or protecting there homes or owners or some reason for it… but hands down they also have the best characteristics for being a perfect family dog as well, they are fun, loyal, athletic, energetic, loving, caring, playful, Smart, alert, protective, great with children and other animals, you truly can’t ask for a better all around dog….

I have a pitbull/golden retriever mix puppy 15 weeks old and 50 pounds. She is a loving, fearless zoomy, , demanding, digging and many other good traits. Never thought I would ever have a pitbull of any type, but I do and love her.

You could give my Amstaff a chicken nugget and take my whole house. He's so freaking sweet!
