no-one said anything about irish or english kennel clubs.. infact no-one even brought kennel clubs into it until you mentioned them.

I thought there is two pit bull terrier breeds - American PBT and English PBT ?

dharma200 · 03-10-2013 03:35PM

The American pit bull terrier is a registered breed in America.
All other pitbulls are not and cannot be pure bred, and just because it is recognised, if ones follows its genealogy is not actually pure bred atall.
The fact the authorities in countries which happily kill pit bull type dogs for no other reason than they might be pit bulls shows how laughable the whole pitbull pure bred thing is.

Sorry to quote wiki but can't really be arsed going to deep into this , has been discussed a thousand times before :

Main article: American Pit Bull Terrier
The American Pit Bull Terrier was created by interbreeding Old English Terriers and English Bulldogs to produce a dog that combined the gameness (a quality of fighting dogs or working terriers; eagerness despite the threat of substantive injury) of the terrier with the strength and athleticism of the bulldog.[14] These dogs were initially bred in England, and arrived in the United States with the founders. In the U.S., these dogs were used as catch dogs for semi-wild cattle and hogs, to hunt, to drive livestock, and as family companions.[14] Some have been selectively bred for their fighting prowess.[15][16] The United Kennel Club (UKC) was the first registry to recognize the American Pit Bull Terrier, in 1898.[17]

well they can be pure bred to the extent that any man made breed can be... which is exactly what i said in the other thread! but seems like facts dont matter much to some people in here.

RachelM · 03-10-2013 03:39PM

Ok thanks, I know they are different breeds and the English has a funny snout, I always thought there was a pit in the breed name. There is too much mis-labelling and misinformation of these dogs.

annascott · 03-10-2013 03:39PM

Compared to a Tibetan Mastiff, they are all pussycats...;)

sok2005 · 03-10-2013 03:40PM

Sorry to go slightly off track but what is the name of the white dogs with pinky looking eyes, stocky too and strong but not tall?

If you're going to bother talking about breeds then you're going to have to bring in kennel clubs into it along with the Judean peoples dog fancying fronts or whoever. The breed thing is intrisinically silly but if you're playing the pure breed game then you can't ignore the groups that invented it.

you're the one who wanted to be clever with the youse-cant-spot-a-pitbull, when there's no universal definition of what a "pitbull" actually is

Not my fault you wound up looking a bit silly.

So anyway which one is the american staffordshire terrier?

dude, you've just been provided with information that 2 large registries in the USA recognise the american pitbull terrier. stop talking BS now please. you're clearly trying to fight a corner thats pointless.

the apbt IS recognised and many of them are also AKC champions but dual registered as amstaffs (because the AKC is the only one of the big 3 registries that dont recognise them). if you want to dispute this fact then go ahead but you're wrong. plain and simple.

humberklog · 03-10-2013 03:43PM

I got it right!

And I know nothing about dogs. Kinda went with extra sensory powers of deduction. If I hadn't got it right I would have said it was a bad guess.

Cool thread.

dharma200 · 03-10-2013 03:46PM

Listen, if we want to be pedantic there is no real pure breed of any dog.

The best thing for people in Ireland who own pitbulls is not to have them recognised as pitbulls anyway in case some arse in power tries to bring in a law to exterminate them like in the north.

sounds like an albino dog. pink eyes would be a fault in a dog.

i just meant a fault in breeding (thats what something like albinism in dogs is called). there isnt a breed with pink eyes. it could be one of many breeds, just that its albino.

Checked it online and it was a bull terrier, we had one stay in our house when I was little as her owners had gone abroad.
Even though to me she looked intimidating she had the sweetest temperament. Strong too, she ate our wooden door right through.

they have a tendancy to suffer albinism more than most other breeds. lovely happy dogs but not the brightest of breeds

Despite the fact the AKC, the IKC, and the Kennel Club ( ya know the biggest registries in each country ) don't recognize them as a breed?

So you're claiming the breed is recognized but then say it isn't recognised in the one sentence? Awesome.

2 of the 3 big registries in amercia RECOGNISE the APBT.
1 doesnt but accepts them under a different name (amstaff)

if you cant understand that then step away from your keyboard and have a cup of tea. its not complicated at all.
