I love bully breeds. My next dog will hopfully be a rescue APBT, or at least some type of bully.
Pit bull isnt really a breed, its more of a term used to discribe a group of dogs. It was origionaly just referring to the APBT, but now it seems to cover any bully type dog, APBT, AST, SBT, American bulldog, Am Bully, and even bull terriers. In most cases today, when you hear the word "pit bull" it is hardly ever referring to a dog that actually is a true American pit bull terrier. Most people only know a "pit bull" as a muscular dog, with a big head and chest, and a very short coat. Its sad to see all these ghetto kids walking around with a huge fat Am Bully (aka "pit bull") on a chain... I have no problem with any other breeds of bullys, but i really hate that they are all just dumped into a single category, because this is how the breed has gotten its bad repuation. A lot of these "Pit bulls" that attack, are usually not REAL APBTs, they are an Am bully, or bulldog mastiff or Am bully mix that is un socialized and chained in a backyard its whole life. And its the dogs that are true APBTs and their owners that suffer, when their dogs are blamed simply because the breeds look similar.
