Five things to know about the Real American Pit Bull Terrier

The american pit bull terrier is probably more misunderstood than any other popular breed. If you’re interested in making a real american pit bull terrier your next pet, here are five things that you should know.

5. The real American Pit Bull Terrier weighs between 35-60lbs. If you have a pit bull that weighs in excess of 70lbs, it is very likely that your pit bull has been mixed a larger breed or bred away from the standard of the real american pit bull terrier.

4. The real american pit bull terrier is a working dog. Great jobs for this breed is catch work, rather on a farm managing livestock or controlling large game during a hunt.

3. The real American Pit Bull Terrier is dog and animal aggressive. Initially used to bait bulls and later in dogfighting, the real american pit bull terrier should never be left unsupervised with other dogs or animals. That includes larger animals too, this breed is fearless and as previously stated were used to bait bulls.

2. The real american pit bull terrier, unprovoked, should not ever exhibit any aggression towards human beings. For this reason the american pit bull terrier is not a great guard or watch dog.

The real american pit bull terrier needs a highly competent and engaged owner. The breed has a high drive and will require a tremendous amount of excersice as well as socialization to be a good canine citizen. A daily run of five miles would be a good start for the real american pit bull terrier. In addition pulling exercises like tug of war and spring pole are great. Becareful with climbing and jumping exercise, you don’t want to train your American Pit bull the skills he will later use to escape your yard.

There you have five good things anyone considering owning a real american pit bull terrier should know.

The Real American Pit Bull Terrier!!! Not that fake stuff!!! Dogumentary earned my respect and subscription because they’re stating facts. The Real American Pit Bull Terrier.

Great video! I love the honesty about APBT's being dog-aggressive. So many people want to be "pibble mommies" and don't have a clue about drives or how breeding affects behavioral tendencies.

[sarahdulas]

Love this video. I had 3 pits, 1 male he was a red nose and 2 mixed females. I have always said, A tired pit bull is a happy pit bull!!!

[godzilla]

I have a American Bully, and even though his papers say APBT, I always tell people he is a bully breed, American Bully. He's 81lbs but does have a lot of energy that comes with pitbulls. I usually run him daily . Good video, especially about the part about competent owners. So much blame gets put on the dog, when the owners should be to blame.

I was so nervous to watch this video in particular because I had started with your other dog breed videos first and really enjoyed them and said to myself "this is gonna be the decider as to whether I subscribe and this dude actually knows what he's talking about" and literally within the first thirty seconds I saw what you were displaying and I said to myself "yep I'm on board haha". Can I just say I'm from Australia and the FIRST thing I was happy about was the lean condition of all the dogs you have featured in your videos not just the apbt one. I love to see FUNCTION over FORM and even your cane corso video featured some nice looking dogs even though I'm generally not a fan of those dogs (Australia has ruined almost EVERY pure bred dog PERIOD) structurally and I was very impressed at your overall choice of working dogs and what you choose to promote. Just wanna say MASSIVE shout out to you all the way from Australia bringing back EDUCATION and knowledge into the dog world and I'll be proud to drop this link anytime I need to lecture people about the real bulldawg and trust me I lecture almost daily. Thanks for being an actual dog lover and breed advocate not just for the apbt but for our dying population of working dogs. Much love ALSO keep repping them lean fit working dogs if I stop seeing them I'll be shattered! x

I use to not like pitbulls, but I wasn't aware of the Real pit bull breed, the real slim pit bull I actually like now not like the other fat mixed breed pit bulls

[eeddiieegar]

I love the last tip, lol, I trained my A. P. T. to jump, one weekend, when I was gone, my mother was looking after all my pits, the oldest, which I trained, jumped the 8 foot fence to chase an alley cat. Lesson learned

[Swell_Character]

Yes sir, mighty fine video for mighty fine dogs. Just two things I would like to add. It is very true that these mighty fine dogs are very human friendly. It has been said that they are one of, if not the, most human friendly and trusting dogs, and that is because man aggression was, and is still, not favored in the breed. Folks actually do not put human aggressive ones in the breeding program. But while these dogs are human friendly and usually do not make for good guard or watchdogs, let's not forget that they will protect their master if he/she is being attacked. For while they love humans more than the next dog, they fear no man nor beast and will be one of the first dogs to come to the rescue whether their master is being attacked by a man or by beast. Something else I'd like to point out is that, even though their name is the American pit bull terrier, they are actually bulldogs whose job and function has always been as gripping dogs for animals such as bulls and hogs. They are not exactly terriers (earth dogs used to pursue quarry underground). I won't get into much detail, because I don't think I'm the man to try to explain it, but Dogumentary TV, being the amazing channel it is for all things dog, has given us a fantastic video sitting down with the man himself, Richard F. Stratton, in my personal favorite video on YouTube - "ALL ABOUT THE AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER WITH RICHARD F. STRATTON" which goes into detail. I suggest folks that want to learn more give it a watch, like, share, and subscribe to this great channel.

I have an apbt that lays on the couch and farts all day

[joaquincontreras]

this is my personal favorite. great video. these dogs are on a level of there own beautiful animals when taken care of properly

[foregoneconclusion]

I have a senior APBT (Embark test came back 100% APBT). I've never owned a pittie before but have become a believer. There are so many pits/pit mixes in shelters and I hope people adopt, rather than buy. My girl was already 11 when I adopted her, found as a stray. I wish she wasn't so leash reactive with other dogs but on the whole is a sweet girl and good company. She loves being around people and children.

[brownkennels]

They really are man best friend, greatest breed ever no doubt

[ThePitbulllady]

This is one of the most-accurate, honest and right-to-the-point videos on American Pit Bull Terriers, and includes that fact that most ARE aggressive towards other animals and make lousy guard dogs, which flies in the face of both the "pibble moms" and the wanna-be bad-asses who think that an APBT is the ultimate guard dog. I used to breed real APBT's, out of Carver and Boudreaux lines, for catch dogs, and I finally had to give up due to people coming in my yard when I was at work and stealing my dogs, which goes to show what lousy "guard" dogs they are. They naturally love all people and don't know the meaning of "stranger". Unfortunately, there are so many mongrel dogs out there that are being labeled as "Pit Bulls", which look NOTHING like a real APBT to someone who is knowledgeable of the breed, that are people-aggressive, that it has led to the breed being vilified and blamed for so many human deaths and injuries. Most people think that they know what a Pit Bull looks like, but in reality, have never laid eyes on a real one and wouldn't recognize it if they did.

Great video 💪💪💪👏👏👏 all the Apbt in this video are amazing! Keep it going Z!

[joanapaiva]

Thank you for giving an accurate description of a pure pitbull……..listen to this guy hes 100% on point

[dytthegem]

I love that you are putting the correct information out on the breed. Not confusing Am bully with the true pit dog. Nothing against bullies. I own one but the pittbull they are not.

[brenngrey]

Well spoken, great video! On point with the info.

[moralestexasbullys]

Great video!!Took me back to my younger days of owning these amazing specimens..🏆🔥

[stateofmind]

right on point. so if you can't run 5 miles or afford a mill don't get one. these dogs need work. apt 4 life
