They do not have voices they put there trust in us and this is how we repay them.

every vet, every kennel, every dog warden and every police officier that enforces the ban, wether it siezing, holding or euthanizing. they allow the ban to work.

if EVERY vet, kennel;, dog warden and police officier refused to aid the ban in any way shape or form. the ban wouldn’t work and it would have to be lifted!

all of use have the power to lift this ban. BUT WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER!

A little history of APBTs (American Pit Bull Terriers), and AmStaffs (American Staffordshire Terrier).

In the early 1800s, farmers and ranchers of the N. American midwest found the bull and terrier dogs (originally from England) were excellant as a pig and cattle dog. It was hardy, had the will and power to handle semi-feral pigs and cattle, and were easy to train for almost any other farm task that a dog could do. Hunters often crossed these dogs into their various hound stock to improve the ability to resist illness, such a distemper, and hardyness on the trail. Even today many lion packs (a pack of hunting dogs that are used to track down mountain lions for either radio collaring or hunting) include one or more APBTs in them; alond with Coonhounds, Walker Hounds, an Airedale Terrier, pitxhound, and an poccasional hound of other breeds.

In the late 1800s, the breed was accepted into the UKC (United Kennel Club) as the American Pit Bull Terrier. [The UKC was founded soon after the AKC as a KC that supported hunters and other dog people of what was then considered the west, as travel to the east coast was long and arduous for taking dogs. A few decades after the breed was recognosed by the UKC, some breeders applied for recognition by the AKC (American Kennel Club) The AKC refused on grounds that the breed type was too broad. Some breeders worked toward bringing more uniformity, and in 1939 those breeders won acceptance by the AKC for their breed under the name of American Staffordshire Terrier. For some time, most AmStaffs were also registered as APBTs with the UKC.

As farmers and ranchers moved into towns, they took their APBTs with them, where the breed became known as a family pet, especially good as a childrens companion. (see “Our Gang”) Then dog fighters, who use to use several dog breeds, mostly of bull and terrier origins, including, but not limited to Staffordshire Terriers and Bull Terriers; settled more and more on APBTs. Today, most people think the APBT was developed for dog fighting and aren’t aware of its all purpose farm, herding, and hunting backgrounds.

I am familiar with APBTs (American Pit Bull Terriers), and AmStaffs (American Staffordshire Terriers). From the pic, this dog appears to be one of either of these two breeds. If I saw someone with this dog who told me it was a registered pure breed of either of these two breeds; I would believe them.
