Actually, (AKC registered) The American Staffordshire Terrier is not encouraged to be Black and Tan or liver (Rednose). Amstaffs occasionally do run tricolored or Black and tan. So does the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. English Bull Terriers run tricolored as well. This gene is probably from the Terrier side of Bull and Terrier breeds. The American Pit Bull Terriers are allowed to come Black and tan by the ADBA (American Dog Breeder's Association). It is also allowed by the United Kennel Club. Certain breeders or bloodlines might tend to through the color more than others. I've been told both parents have to have the gene to produce "tan pointed" pups. Most who are not acknowledgeable about the breed might think that some pure bred Black and tans are mutts! They are an important part of Bull and Terrier history.

What colors are pit bulls?
Pitbull" is not a breed. American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier are the breeds that are generally called pit bulls. rednose pits or blue pits are terms back yard breeders make up to con people out of more money for their pups. these are only colors. Ignore the top comment, when people say "pit bull" they mean the American Pit Bull Terrier, however over many years the term pit bull have been used to describe any breed that look like the real pit bulls. These are uneducated people. Pit bulls come in all colors, red, blue, black, white, chocolate, etc. Because pit bulls were originally bred for what they could do not color. But over years idiots got their hands on the breed, and only bred for color, head size, etc. That completely destroys the pit bull and what they were originally bred to do. So when you see someone advertising, blue pit bulls or red pit bulls, with big heads and wide chest. DON'T buy these dogs, these people just want your money and don't care for the dog. Never get a dog for looks but for what they can do. And besides these dogs are usually unhealthy since they have been bred to dogs of the same color over, and over again, which leads to genetic problems.

What are the character traits for a pit-bull husky mix?
The #1 trait of pit bulls is loyalty. This makes well-trained pit bulls excellent family pets. Unfortunately they have such a bad (and false) reputation, many people would never consider bringing one into the family. The only reason for the bad rap is their strength. Pit bulls are no more vicious than chihuahuas, it's just that chihuahuas can't really do much damage if they bite. Remember: for every pit bull that attacks someone, there are millions more who have never bitten and just want to be part of a loving family.
