Both of these breeds are illegal in the UK. The main difference between these two breeds is that American Staffordshire Terriers have a recognised, official breed standard, whereas Pit Bull Terriers do not. Pit Bull Terriers are not actually an official breed.

You should feed a pit bull puppy at least 3 times a day. But not to much it should be at least 2-4 cups and you should walk them right after. Make sure your dog is on a scedule and that it does not get over fed. So over all you should feed your pit 3 times a day and walk it twice a day. Thanks and bye bye

The English Bull Terrier usually ranges in weight between 45 and 80 pounds, where as the Miniature Bull Terrier weighs between 24 and 33 pounds on average. Staffordshire Bull Terriers usually weigh between 23 and 38 pounds depending on their height.

don't, ever; it's cruel

Though this breed was once a fierce gladiator, he is much gentler now. A Bull Terrier might have a preventive effect and it might defend it's owner in a truly critical situation, but it isn't bred to be a guard dog. Courageous, scrappy, fun-loving, active, clownish and fearless. The Bull Terrier is a loyal, polite, and obedient dog. They become very attached to their owners. The Bull Terrier thrives on firm, consistent leadership and affection and makes a fine family pet. Bull Terriers like to be doing something and fit in well with active families where they receive a great deal of companionship and supervision. They do not do well in situations where they are left alone for 8 hours a day. With the right type of owner this breed is a joy to own, but not recommended for most households. Fond of both grown-ups and children, but if they do not get enough physical and mental exercise they may be too energetic for small children. Children should be taught how to display leadership towards the dog. Meek owners will find them to become very protective, willful, possessive and or jealous. Bull Terriers may try to join into family rough housing or quarrel. They need very firm training and lots of exercise. Bull Terriers must be given a lot of structure, or they may become destructive. Be sure to socialize them well and remain their pack leader 100% of the time, otherwise, they can be extremely aggressive with other dogs. Unaltered males may not get along with other male dogs. They are not recommended with other non-canine pets such as rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. They make excellent watch dogs. This breed can be somewhat difficult to train.

The bull terrier may come in a number of different colours. Most famous bull terriers are white or white and black, though they do come in brown and various other colour combinations. The problem with all white bull terriers is that they are often deaf.

yes but it really depends on the dog but most are friendly to people and dogs

yeah all dogs do, especially when they fart

not if you have small children, but okay with teenagers.

they get jealous very easily, that is why no young kids.

other than that perfect dog!!

My female English Bull Terrier's birthday is on 2/18/09 she is 55lbs, very active and agile. She is a a pure bred bought from a breeder in Sacramento CA. Also she is a member of the Continental Kennel Club.

The thing that makes them look different to most breeds is that the bridge of their nose is arched. I'm not sure why, I can't see any EVOLUTIONARY benefits to this feature.

wait and see

Yorkshire terriers do bite when they are teething as puppy"s but when they are older and if your a good trainer to tell them not to then your yorkie will not bite.

2nd Answer:

Yes. They were originally bred back in England around the 1800s to be the guard dogs for the gameskeepers who guarded the King's estate. People would often poach game on the King's estate & that was a big no no then. So the Bullmastiff came into being. Originally bred from 60% Mastiff & 40% bullmastiff was the foundation breeding. But keep in mind that back then the Bulldog was much larger & more aggressive. The breed was bred to pin & hold their prey, not to savage it as the King liked to hang the poacher in public as an example to other would be poachers. It also had to be a quiet & gentle breed so that it could live with the Gameskeepers & their families & to hunt by the Gameskeepers side which meant that they had to be quiet. The breed was recognized in the United States in the late 1920's I believe.

The correct spelling is "Bullmastiff", all one word.

1st Answer:

Yes because they are very muscular and defensive and they are very protective.

Staffordshire bull terriers can run approximatley 50kph over 100 meters then they generally slow down to about 35kph.

Because they are mean ,inconsiderate people or they are training them for dog fights, which only mean inconsiderate people attend.

well some what that and many people are mean to pit bulls because they probably heard "oh well, some pit bull injured someone." or some say "stay away from pit bulls, they're dangerous animals." and so on.so basically,judging with out knowing what they're talking about. but pit bulls are really sweet at heart and I would know because I have a blue nosed American Pit Bull Terrier.Other wise like a lot of conversations on here...Bad Trainers creates Bad dogs.

It would look like a mutt.

Two breeds of dog don't make offspring to look like another, chances are you'll have a dog with breathing problems from the pugs side and goofiness from the Bullies side.

If you are breeding for the AKC or another established dog club, you need registration. However, if you are breeding "just to breed" or for money (also called backyard breeding), you may want to hold out. Dogs can carry genetic defaults (Hip Dysplasia among others) and passing along those defaults only adds to the large number of poorly bred dogs to begin with. Dog breeding is also VERY expensive - can you care properly for the puppies? This includes worming and puppy vaccines. What if your dog has complications during labor, can you afford an emergency vet visit? There are many things to consider before breeding your dogs, and sometimes the answer is to NOT to breed and to fix your dog. There are too many homeless dogs (purebred and not); breeding your dog should not be a priority unless you are improving the breed by "breeding out" genetic defaults and common problems with the breed.

The AKC does NOT register American Bulldogs. The American Bulldog is not a mixed breed and can be registered with both the NKC (national kennel club) and UKC (United Kennel Club).

It is not recognized by the AKC for several reasons including the fact that the breed's original Breed club the ABA (American Bulldog Association) as well as many other AB fanciers are firmly against AKC recognition. Many are afraid that recognition by the American Kennel Club will be detrimental to the breeds working heritage; one look at AKC German Shepherd Dogs will give you the reason behind this fear.

There are two varieties of the American Bulldog: the standard and the bully. The NKC, which is the third oldest All Breed Registry in the United States, recognizes the two standards as two varieties of the same breed. This is similar to the AKC Beagle standard which has two varieties, the 13" and the 15", of the same breed. At NKC sanctioned conformation events the Standard dogs are shown separately from the Bullies until the Best in Show. United Kennel Club only recognizes one variety of the standard which is often referred to as the Hybrid Standard (a blend of the standard and bully).

Most Staffordshire Bull Terriers have litters of between 6 and 9. Bear in mind that they have been known to have litters of 10 or even 11 so be prepared. If it is a females first litter it is likely to be smaller, around 4 puppies.

Staffordshire Bull Terriers Are Not A Specific Weight, When Fully Grown They Tend To Be Between 20-24Kg. Vets reccommend that they should weight around 22-23kg when fully grown. You should take your dog quite regularly to the vets to check their weight is normal as it should not cost you anything.

The Bulldog and The English Terrier- (now extinct) originally known as the Bull-and-terrier. The pure white English Bull Terrier was bred by Mr James Hinks a dog dealer from Birmingham between 1850 and 1862. Due to the white bull terrier having problems with deafness breeders experimented with cross breeding the white bull terrier back with its coloured decendants to get the brindle or red coat.
