There can be some disadvantages to owning an American Staffordshire Terrier. Also known as American Pit Bulls, these dogs are strong and powerful and need a lot of attention, training, and exercise. They also have an inaccurate reputation for being overly aggressive and mean. This reputation could cause friends and strangers alike to be very nervous around the dog.

Are pitbulls and bull terriers the same?

If you define a terrier as it is supposed to be defined, then NO, a pit bull should not be classified as a terrier. Terrier means "earth dog," referring to dogs which go to ground for game. American Pit Bulls have never been used for digging out game, though they have been (and still are being) used for hunting boar and other animals. According to the AKC and UKC, they are registered in the Terrier Group (AKC recognizes the Pit Bull as an American Staffordshire Terrier). Possibly, they have been placed in this group due to their gameness, but many current fanciers agree that they ought to be placed in the working group for their talents as herding dogs, service dogs, search and rescue dogs, Schutzhund dogs, and even sledding/weight pull dogs. yes

What reason will a staffordshire bull terriers turn on their pups?

This is not a very likely scenario as almost all Dogs make excellent mothers. Dogs will usually only kill their offspring if they are very sickly. This is not a normal behaviour in Dogs and a mum that has killed her offspring should not be bred from again. Possible reasons for cannibalism or killing of puppies are a behavioural abnormality in the mother or the mother having a calcium or nutrient deficiency. If looked after properly, a mother should not kill her puppies.

How would a pitbull a dogo argentino a rottweiler and a doverman get along?

One of the earliest duties of the domestic dog was guarding the property of its owners, whether that property be land, livestock or his owner's home. Most modern dog breeds will naturally act as guardians when at home, but some dog breeds have been especially developed or selectively bred for their natural inclination to guard and defend the territory and people they consider as having under their custody.American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, Cane Corso, Doberman Pinchers, Dogo Argentino, Dogue de Bordeaux, German Shepherds, Presa Canario, Rottweilers, and Staffordshire Bull Terriers, the much maligned breeds that we have found to be so loveable and affectionate. Breed-specific legislation is WRONG. It is the backyard breeder, the irresponsible owner and how the dog is trained or untrained that is responsible for their bad behavior.
