APBT Dog




The American Pit Bull Terrier is a great and loyal breed. They would die defending their pet parents, and that's not exaggeration.

Like other breeds the American Pit Bull and its cousin bully breed dogs deserve rehabilitation and the chance for a new life in a new home. Just because they may have a history in the pit, doesn't mean that they should be discriminated against as a viscious, man-eating breed. That was a past, and unfortunate present, but not all individuals in a breed should suffer as a part.



This sad past, present, and hopefully, unlikely future should not be affected by breed specific legislations. As once these laws begin to take affect in more than a handful of cities, it will overtake our nation. This is not the world I want to see, and it is not the world I want my APBT puppy growing up to know.



I'm tired of seeing this poor breed and its bully counterparts being shoved into the euthanasia room at the city pound becuase they were born with a bad reputation. It's just not fair. This sort of discrimination was fought against when humans were involved (Nazi Germany and Slavery amongst a few other times), who will fight for our dogs?!

The American Pit Bull Terrier is the true American breed, not the Labrador Retriever or the Golden Retriever, but the AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER! This breed is a famous breed that shares a strong portion of the American history. They are a part of search and rescue groups, pet therapy organizations, drug dogs, military companions, and other wonderful groups across the United States that help aid our country.

And, lately, I've seen APBT puppies in Old Navy commercials. I'm sure that I'm one of the hopeful APBT lovers that hope that this will be the start of a new age and a new beginning for the breed that has so stolen our hearts.
