I meant more physically, what are the physical characteristics and would the untrained eye be able to tell the difference. You hear stories of ignorant people approaching staffie owners & telling them there dog looks like a pitbull & that it should be destroyed. If you look on the website UK classified ads there are hundereds of American Pit Bull Terriers for sale even though they are illegal - the owners obviously dont care but it just it just goes to show that there are ALOT of APTB out there still.

Yeh thats fair enough, but it depends on the person.. some idiots may think you have a pit bull and have a go at you for it, but that's their problem not yours.

I personally can see the difference between the 2 breeds quite obviously and I dont know alot about the Bull Terrier breeds.

Pups need to be screened for PHPV at 6-8 weeks.

They can be tested as a litter,and it is normally about £39 for a litter of 5,or about £7.50 per pup for more.

It is a set price and advertised in the Kennel Gazette.

I would only buy a pup whose parents were clear from all known diseases,and who's litter were screened for PHPV at 6-8 weeks.

Why risk buying unknown????

Surely if you are breeding you would want to breed healthy pups?

There is some who are only interested in the money and how much they can save

Yes and these are often the idiots who have a yapping dog on the end of their lead

Deed not breed.

Pit bulls were used in search and rescue in the 9/11 attacks.

Once they have killed off the Pit bulls what breed will be next??

Pet Pitbull - Find the Pit Bull
