@MrGhettown So the AmStaff is typically 17-19 inches for males. Larger chest and front legs (as they are more for show than go) and standardized temperment. All of these breeds are typically animal or dog aggressive (like almost all terriers are) and are very very rarely human aggressive. Any breed that is improperly raised can be human aggressive, but this breed is alot less likely to become human aggressive because of its breeding background. ex: A doberman is bred to be untrustingof strangers

@MrGhettown finally they do have different attributes.American pit bull terriers have no standardization for physical attributes (blue eyes, pink noses, small heads, hanging lips are ll allowed). Size can also be a huge variable in PBPTs some males only weight 40 lbs, but are real tall. Others are short and over 120lbs. Most of these extremes are from fad breeders who have no f’ing clue about breeding dogs…and the animals suffer health and temperment flaws. AmStaffs are veryspecific attributes

@MrGhettown Amstaffs were then developed for show and temperment. Some say they all originated from the same breed so they are the same dog. Some say hey 70 years is enough to make them distinctly different breeds. I tend to lean towards the latter of the two. In only a couple generations you can greatly change the intelligence and physical attributes of any animal. Here there is ALOT of generatios of selective breeding. physically there are differences as well

@MrGhettown yes,no, and sorta. depends on who you talk to. The term “pit bull” describes several breeds staffordshire terriers, american pit bull terriers, american staffordshire terriers, and bull terriers. Now about 100 or so years ago staffordshire terriers came over from england. 70 or so years ago the american staffordshire terrier breed was created from the descendants of staffordshire terriers. the dogs that didn’t become akc registered were developed for fighting, where amstaffs NR

@misc248 Good Advice, You can also with your Finger gently scratch your fingernails on thereTongue they don’t like it and will immediately stop biting. Also alot of the Bull Breeds in general are early biters, English Bulldogs etc.
There is lots of tricks to get a biter to stop.

My wife and I just got an Am Staff. Her name is Bailey and she’s 9 months old. She’s the best dog I have ever had. She doesn’t chew my shoes, she’s house broken, she’s great around other dogs, she hardly barks, she’s great around other people, and she gets into her bath all by herself. She loves to play and go for walks. She’s still learning not to pull on her leash. We take her to the local dog park where all the rest of the dogs fall in love with her. She’s a beautiful dog. We love her

i would like to add this advice. these dogs are too strong for their tendons and can tear their acl’s very easily. make sure you warm them up before letting them run full spead.

@kytty92 Pitbulls are very “mouthy” breeds. I’ve noticed it a lot with my pitbull puppy. What I did to discourage biting is when he would bite I would correct and then give him a chew toy. If you make the chew toy great and give lots of praise that will help a lot! I also praised him for licking instead of biting by saying no to the bite and then saying “kisses” until he’d kiss. Then he’d get praise. I hope this helps!

@majinboo75 well the pitbull in general was breed to fight so its hard for beginers to train a amstaff or a pitbull

@samibaby11111 do you have a local animal rescue league? I bet they do training, or can recommend a nearby facility. Good luck and congratulations on picking a great dog.

@mohsian2
Not true actually. But I have to admit the differences are vague, and a lot of so-called experts probaby can’t tell them apart without looking at the pedigree.

Let your mommy or your daddy train your doggy, you just go play with your dolls now. Puppies that are 4 weeks old are supposed to be in their litter.

i love my amstaff, she’s one amazing dog! there’s nothing more she wants to do than impress me all the time when training her! i like walking her or running with her, she looks right up at me waiting for my word! when i want to be active, she’s right there ready to go, and when i want to lay down on the couch, she’s right there already sleeping!! the only thing deadly about her is her whipy tail! when she gets excited, her tail can catch you good!
