    I got my amstaff at the animal shelter. Best dog ever! Daisy does have thyroid issues she’s on meds for twice a day and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. She cuddles with my cats, has ran a potential intruder off, lets the kids love all over her, guards the house and the family. She’ll be 8 soon. ❤️❤️❤️

I hate the reputation they have gotten and when we go out we get some people who turn up their nose or make comments. But i just look at her and smile with joy that they have no idea what their missing

      They're just the AKC version, bred to have no/less dog aggression, and calmer temperaments.

    Hey Lydia, I know your vid is a couple of years old, but I had to send you a note in thanks for your video. Because of you, I went ahead and did a rescue on an Am Staff that was within 2 weeks of a death sentence. He is 3 y/o Blue w/hazel eyes, and he is absolutely the best!!! His temperament is everything you said this breed is.
    My Queensland Heeler just passed and I wanted a breed that is just as or close to as loyal as the heeler, but I wanted something a little more protective of my property, and most importantly something that doesn't shed like a heeler. I have been blessed to find a beautiful male that I named Lando, and he has already been truly amazing. Thank you again for your vid, and I look forward to learning more from you and possibly introducing you to my new kid!!!

    We got ours from a "no kill" shelter. She initially would flinch when we tried to pet her on the head ( evidence of abuse) Now a year later, she has learned trust again. One thing I have noticed is how easy to train she is. SCRAT ( her name) wants to please. Once she understood what we wanted her to do ( sit, stay, come fetch etc etc) she would do it just for a " good girl" and a scratch behind the ears.

  • @Delightful_Addition
    @Delightful_Addition 8 років тому +226

    I think that the title could benefit from being redone. I think it should read "American Staffordshire - the Show Pit Bull".
    Using the term "civilized" almost makes it sound as if the American Pit Bull is a savage breed with a bad temperament when that could not be further from the truth. I know that the uploader knows the American Pit Bull is a great breed and did not mean it like that, but using the term "civilized" here could send the wrong message to viewers. The American Pit Bull is a quite noble breed which retained its status as a working dog (farming, hunting, baiting, and fighting purposes mainly which are the things they were created for) and is responsible for the American Staffordshire being all that it is as far as temperament, personality, and, to an extent, ability. Actually, most of what I am hearing (aside from some of the medical conditions) are very similar to the American Pit Bull. Also, she said "temperament first and health second." I must strongly disagree with this. I understand that the American Staffordshire is more of show/conformation breed and that health would be less of (still important but not more so) a factor as it would be for the working American Pit Bull breed, but I believe that health should come before anything else. Truthfully I don't think that anyone should try and put a number on health and temperament. They should both be extremely important and equally important (one should not be sacrificed for the other or prized over the other). However, if someone does try to put those by terms of importance, I would imagine that, for most, it would be health first and then temperament. No matter what, a dog needs to be healthy. Temperament doesn't do much good if the dog is not physically stable enough to do its job, fill its role, or live a full life. That is one reason for some of the problems that can occur in some breeds. People are not paying much attention to or putting importance in health. In many of these cases, health takes a backseat to other much less important things such as looks, size, etc.

      buba2isatosa Many, including the uploader and the breeder being interviewed in this video, say they are separate breeds.

With the American Pit Bull and the American Staffordshire Terrier, it seems to be more about the point of view of the person you ask.

      @@Pitbullddy I know these comments are old but you can’t tell someone they don’t deserve to own a dog simply because they are ignorant of its breed. The fact that they are attempting to figure out what it is in the first place shows that they are willing to educate themselves. That’s how one begins to learn to properly raise and train any dog of any breed. If you actually pay attention to any of these documentaries, about half of these breeders and trainers started out not knowing anything about the breeds they specialize in yet here they are sharing a wealth of good information. Many of them even say that they’re not the master of the breed and acknowledge that there are others who know even more. Never did Tim Tran mention they were going to breed their dog so there is no reason whatsoever to even say that they’re going to make an aggressive bully breed. I guess they should’ve just let the owner put it down since no bully expert was there to claim it right?

      Bafagu2 dogs that are not neutered end up being very problematic. If your dog got loose it could impregnate or get impregnated by another dog and you'd end up with unwanted puppies in a world where dogs are already overpopulated. So yes, "cutting off their balls" is very necessary in regards to population control.

    If you so love these dogs and even give them away for free to ensure they have good homes, why crop their ears? Amstaffs have the cutest floppy ears and it always makes me sad seing them with their ears cut off for asthetic purposes. Not being disrespectful, just really curious why people who obviously love dogs still do this.

    The woman next door has a american staffy it has'nt been out of her yard since she got it ( over a yr ago ) I had a talk to her about it and said she need to at least take the dog for a walk , and she said she cant walk him as he pulls on her arm too much and hurts her.I said maybe she would be better off re homing the dog where he has a better quality of life ? she said no , no I love him , and I said you can't even handle a dog like that and she has 3 young kids , one of which is scared of him as he knocks him over .she said the dog actually belongs to her eldest son ( he's about 14 ) no dog knowledge what so ever , and he cant walk him either . I said the dog cries for attention when they are out the front and he is locked in the back yard I said tell your son I will report him if he does'nt start to care for the dog and she went off her nut LOL oh your going to report me for not walking my dog , blah blah , I have a bad back and walk and train with my german shepherd daily even if it is a short walk but I keep the dog busy . the next night I saw the kaos out front as she was trying to walk her dog while one of her kids was up the street chasing her other dog ( a shitzu ) that had bolted ,she had a harness on the staffy which clearly had no effect on where the dog wanted to go LOL when she returned from the walk i went to speak to her and while stood there the dog took off to her front door and burnt her hand and the lead as she was'nt expecting it to do that , if that dog had took off after a little kid witha little dog he would have knocked the kid over into the concrete. I never seems to amaze me how people get dogs they cannot handle and have no intention of learning how to , this dog is only 14 months now , give it another yr and he will be a dangerous dog as she can't even hold onto him now I just hope I'm not in the street with my dog when it happens as I've not long had a hip replacement I shudder to thnk what is going to happen in the future with this dog of hers.

  • @maciefergal1675
    @maciefergal1675 7 років тому +48

    Ear cropping is cruel. I have yet to hear of a dog being euthanized because he has floppy ears. Cropping and docking are cosmetic procedures, plain and simple. Crops and docks are illegal throughout much of Europe because it is considered cruel to cut off a dogs body parts to please our idea of what is “beautiful.” Elective surgery for dogs: It may sound odd, but it’s exactly what some purebreds undergo shortly after birth. Cropping -- cutting off the floppy part of a dog’s ear -- is usually performed on anesthetized dogs between 6 and 12 weeks old. The ears are then taped to a hard surface for several weeks while they heal so they stay upright. The American Kennel Club (AKC) says the practices are “integral to defining and preserving breed character” in certain breeds. But the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) opposes docking and cropping. The most common reason for cropping and docking is to give a dog a certain look. That means it poses unnecessary risks. I am against the practice of docking tails and cropping ears, and I am not alone.
