What will the litter of a pitbull terrier and a wiener dog look like?
I've seen two confirmed Dachshund/American Pit Bull Terrier crosses, both had the short legs with apbt coloring and a apbt head with a slightly longer snout.
Are pitbulls and American staffies the same dog?
Yes......the AKC said they would reconize the APBT breed if they changed their name to American Stafford Terrier to denounce the art of dog fighting.
Is it normal that your 8 month old American pitbull female is 65 lbs?
Not really. If you got a dog from the newspaper or someone down the street's litter of pit bulls, she may very well be mix-bred. Anyhow, at 8months old, your dog is not finished growing. She will fill out, adding another 5 to 15pounds onto her current weight. She could be a APBT/AmStaff cross, or an AmStaff, although she still may be a APBT; just she's kind of heavy for the breed; probably because her parents/ancestors were bred larger. Most APBT SHOULD be 45-65lbs at 2yrs of age. Just as long as she's agile and fit, she might still be an APBT, and still be great pet or working dog.
WHAT IS a razor edge red nose pit?
The term "pit" or "pit bull" is not an actual breed of dog. The term "pit bull" is a generic term used to describe the physical characteristics of up to a dozen different breeds, most commonly the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT), American Stafforshire Terrier (AST) and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier (SBT). Razors Edge (RE) is not a special kind of APBT, as some may claim. It is actually a line of dogs founded by Dave Wilson (among others). I use the term "line" because it comes from several different dogs where a bloodline is from one or two dogs in particular. Many today claim to have a RE dog, however this usually isn't the case. Due to Wilson's success, many have named their dogs Razors Edge _____ or RE's ______ to sell more dogs. Most of the dogs known as RE dogs today are not purebred APBTs but "American Bullys." The bully dogs are a cross between APBTs and ASTs, through selective breeding, to take the drive and tenacity out of the real APBT in addition to making the dog shorter and far more massive (especially in head size). This has taken away a lot of the working ability of the real APBT, but has provided a calmer yet larger dog. In terms of red nose, this is just a color. There are three nose colors today associated with APBTs: black, red, blue. Blue is really just a lightened version of black due to selective breeding. In terms of breed type there is no physical difference other than color when it comes to noses. The reds originally stemmed from Old Family Red Nose (OFRN) strains which originated in Ireland. Most true RE dogs are NOT red noses, but black or blue. This being said, very few people actually have the true RE blood in their dogs at all anymore. The simple answer is that a RE red nose is just another phenotype of a "Pit Bull" but certainly not a true APBT. *An earlier post said that ASTs were the real breed. This is false, the AST got it's name because the AKC didn't want to recognize the APBT because of it's fighting history. So (partially due to the fact the APBTs have a history partly from Staffordshire, England) they called the APBT of the late 1800s the AST and it has been bred separately in the most part ever since. Hope this helps.
What is to know about APBT?

Is a bloodhound stronger than a pitbull?
Pound for pound the American Pitbull Terrier is the strongest dog in the world for it's size, There have been several instances during weight pull competitions that a single APBT has pulled cars and trucks. And I have personally seen a APBT move a semi truck when it was placed in neutral and the dog was hooked up to it. No doubt that a husky is a powerful animal given the dog's intended job, But a good solid APBT is no doubt stronger.
What does a low ast mean?
AST stands for aspartate aminotransferase, which is an enzyme. It is normal to have a low level of AST in the blood. AST levels become elevated when there is damage or disease to an organ.
When was AST - publisher - created?
AST - publisher - was created in 1993.
What is the formula to determine AST ALT ratio?
The ratio of AST to ALT (AST:ALT) is calculated by dividing the AST value by the ALT value
What nicknames does Dan Ast go by?
Dan Ast goes by Danast.
How do you lower your alt ast level?
How do you lower your AST and ALT levels
How do people get 100lb plus pit bulls?
There are several lines that crossed in larger breeds to create a bigger, "bullier" dog. The ideal weight for an APBT is 30-60 lbs, so a 100lb dog is grossly out of standard and not considered a good representation of the breed
