That was the puppy class, and this one, while not a professional show dog yet, certainly showed signs of having a good time and being well socialized. They are pretty fun dogs.
Staffys are the best dogs ever, wouldn't trade mine for all the tea in China, they're an incredible breed, especially for families, if you've got them trained and socialized properly.... Our Staffy is an important member of our family & my 6 yr old daughters best friend forever! 😁
@@IslenoGutierrez ok good enough, I was always led to believe Staffy was an interchangable term for both breeds, for the record I have an Amstaff, an American Staffordshire terrier.... I've been referring to her as an Amstaff or a Staffy for years. You learn something new everyday... I'm a big fan of Amstaffs. I've heard people refer to them as the "civilized Pitbull", I like Pitbulls slot but my favorite will always be the Amstaff.... For such a strong, powerful dog they've got the disposition of a teddy bear if you raise them properly..,. 😊
David Carter Amstaffs are pitbulls too. The APBT (American Pitbulls Terrier), AST (American Staffirdshite Terrier) and SBT (Staffordshire Bull Terrier) are all 100% genetically identical. They are all just different strains of the same breed. APBT is the only one with pit bull in the name which makes some people assume it's the only one that's a pitbull but they are all considered pitbulls by US law: definitions.uslegal.com/p/pit-bull/ And here is an DNA admixture chart from a scientific DNA study on dogs and you can see clearly on every DNA run the APBT, AST and SBT are 100% identical: gsejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12711-019-0520-4/figures/4
It’s important that these dogs get put into a good light and show people that they’re not the “vicious” dogs people make them out to be. They’re a beautiful breed and with proper training like with all dogs, they can be a great companion.
I love my AmStaff most loving dog ever and they are absolutely beautiful. My dog looks almost exactly like he did as a puppy their features don’t change as much other dogs but only get better looking 😉 lol
Mines a rescue. She would dominate this competition in the looks department. Everywhere I take her people stop to pet her and mention how gorgeous she is
henk I agree that you can see the differences between old style fighting pit to the staff. But with all the cross breeding and that. It would be hard for most normal people to distinguish without having to look closely
henk me personally I can see big differences with the blood line breeding. But with the average dog I'd have look little closer. I have an amstaff myself and would prefer this breed over any else
My favourite dog in the world . I’ve had two staffys .only down side with those dogs .they don’t make very good watch dogs . They would lick a person to death . I love the happy tails . They are some beautiful staffys .
That dog with the woman in the red dress was really sharp! Now I know what kind of dogs my neighbors have! Terriers. I have an abused and rescued (by me) yellow lab. First dog I have ever owned, don't know a thing about them, so I guess my opinion wouldn't matter much. I just think this video is cute and makes me laugh with joy. My dog is sweet and unruly as all heck.
I was never a dog person, my mom has German shepherds my whole life but I never got attached to them. Then my amstaff came into my life unexpectedly, and she has changed my life. Best, most friendly, passionate dogs in the world. I will never own another dog besides a staffy or an APBT. A+ cuddler. Also, my mom at first told me my staffy would maul children and was very against her. Now, My mom only adopts pit bulls and staffys. It only takes one good dog to convert someone to #teamPitbull.
Your mom had a German Shepherd and she said a. pitbull would maul someone? That's hilarious to me. I would bet that German Shepherds actually maul more people. Now as far as dog aggression..I don't know who is worse with that. But with people I bet a pitbull in general is a million times better. And I've had one (APBT) and he was nothing but sweet to people..anyone that came to the house. But of course we didn't train him to be an asshole like some people do. He had spats with his brother though but never anything serious.
Oh one more thing..usually the people against pits own like a Golden Retriever or a Pekignese...those types. I love ALL dogs just to be clear. But. I have a special spot for certain breeds and Pits are one. Had a Doberman when I was younger and she was very sweet too. We didn't know she was one till later because my mom if she had known...we probably wouldn't have kept her or I can only imagine at that point in her life. She's way more open minded now.
Hey gumble besides history of the breed what other possible proof could you need and obviously he's talking about staffs. It couldn't be it any clearer when the video is about "staffs" and he said that's where he lives. Wow.
@@tofarbackofdatree6172 a big difference between A staff and amstaff? Are you serious? What do you think both those shorthand words are short for? They both are short for American Staffordshire terrier and nothing else! That does not mean Staffordshire Bull terrier or pitbull. They are three totally different breeds and when people say they have a dog that is AKC registered it`s not a pitbull! Pitbulls are still not an AKC registerable dog!
Yeah im serious. The amstaff was made from selective breeding from pitbulls to make what we see from them today. Forget about akc. Its like saying humans are the same as homosapiens. I stated a fact at that was it. You rarely get an amstaff in the uk as there is difficulties with law about how much the dog looks like a pit bull. Its done by a percentage or something. Stop being so war ready beause its youtube. P.s Do you like dags? Go learn..
@@tempestbully_kennels6029 Grown dogs are the best. So many potty trained, well mannered dogs at the shelter. Besides, I hate to break it to you, but puppies grow up. Then they become "ugly" adult dogs. Crazy, right?
Gary Irvine They are illegal as they are the show version of the apbt so they are a pitbull type of dog in most other countries British staffies fall into that catagory but thankfully not in UK..
How can it be, that you have a "Dangerous dog act" and yet Staffordshires' are the most popular dog breed with dog shows in Westminster!? My dog would get seized at the border.
So under the type of dogs called 'Pitbull' we have different breeds such as: American Staffordshire (Amstaff) Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT), Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier, and American Bully (not sure whether an American Bull Dog belongs under umbrella 'Pitbull).
They are most likely using real meat like chicken or turkey as treats...they are biting it to break the meat into smaller pieces because their other hand is busy with the lead.
I do this all the time. With freezedried meat treats, it is hard for the dog to chew and trot at the same time, so you chew it smaller for easier chewing for your dog. If that's gross to you, you don't want to know what's on your face when a dog licks you
Breed called American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is banned, but this breed called American Staffordshire (Amstaff) Terrier is not banned (both belong to the type of dog called 'Pitbull'). So particular breed is banned but not all breeds in the type of dog.
I thought AmStaffs are illegal here in Britain under the dangerous dogs act? I hope not!! Im a huge lover of ALL Bulldogs but lets be honest, how many cops could tell the diff between an AMSTAFF and a "pitbull"? Or an English Staffie for that matter???
my staff was stubborn but not stupid she knew what she anted, and almost destroyed a game pit that went after her off the leash i had no choice but to let go she was too strong and i had to let her protect herself. it ended pretty quick but the pit was badly damaged, fricken owner. i helped with vet bills and did not have too. she was just put to sleep after 15 years and bad scin allergies her legs were gone and did everything to keep her as long as possible it hurts so much b/c of allergies she needed a lot of care so she was my sick baby too. very bad puppy she literaly ate my furniture and some walls it took 4 years to calm a bit. know what you are getting into with this breed , maybe mine was just bred bad , she was pretty big and very muscled for a female and head was a bit on small size but the whole neighborhood knew her and all the children loved her and boy did she go out her way to play with children even at 13 year old or more
gunny I also had a female that recently passed . She made it a hair under 18 years and just passed in her sleep one night. She also ate the walls and the doors if nobody was home in a thunderstorm. R.I.P Chloe.
One thing you learn with these bully breeds is no matter how much bigger or faster the other pitbull type dog is it’s always 50-50 in a fight, these dogs were bred for fighting and they are really really good at it.
This may sound stupid but this is the original pit bull and to me the smartest and least aggressive but can be if taught or not treated right but hell I can make a Labrador mean if i treat him a certain way just my opinion
There is a difference between 'ripped' and 'big'. I have an Am Staff and he is ripped. He has very prominent shoulder and haunch muscles, a deep chest, ribs slightly visible, and defined curve up at his belly very much like the first dog. Mine is just a bit taller in the leg. The vet said he is a perfect 4 on the fitness chart (1-3 is too undernourished, 4-6 are ideal and 7-9 is too fat). With the exception of the first dog, the others seem just a bit to thick in the belly. I would increase exercise and look at their diet.
Guys be nice! When a person says a "pitbull" usually what comes to mind is an American Bull dog, or the American Pit Bull Terrier. The dog that is being shown here is an American Stanfforshire Terrier which also another type of pitbull. I also thought that a there was only one breed for a pitbull until the other day when we rescued a American Stanffordshire Terrier and the whole concept was explained to me. I apologise for any grammar or spelling mistakes, my phone is starting to go out of date typing hasnt been easy!
Beautiful dogs. The first one looked like she was having fun!

There's tons of these in dogs homes where I live, I do live in Staffordshire tho, people tend to be scared if them, there fucking great with kids

yes, yes he did. but looks like he regurgitated it back up for his dog as a reward.
2:28 2:52 3:44 4:17 7:58 9:13 This is every time one of them ate the dog's treats, why is this a thing?!!

because their pedigree is protected.
so beautiful.

First dog in had it's ears and is in great shape, the rest should be a bit more worked they have no waist line or muscle definition.

Great dogs, but I had to turn it when the guy eats the dog bits.
I WISHD ID HAD AMSTAFF
why cut off ears this is torturing the dog
When they are newborn pups it doesn't bother them... sometimes cropping and docking can be beneficial for the dog, especially working dogs.
It’s funny how people calling them American Pitbull terrier they are Amstaff two different breeds I have a Amstaff Pitbull mix
