American Pit Bull Terrier...An American Hero

what's ironic, is the Pit Bull was this great symbol when it was breed for the pit, and had gameness running through it's pedigree.

This ended in 1976...now we have no guarantees to what the dog is breed for. Often, today they are breed for Looks, size, color with no attention to anything else. Obviously, some people with argue this, but regardless, the years of Form follows function are gone.

I trusted the game dog with children for it was breed for a purpose. A purpose that has since been made illegal.

historical we see an amazing history of fine dogs, but how many generations removed will in take for these wonderful bloodlines to disappear or become something they were not intended for?

I think we are slowly discovering that right now...

Thanks so much for putting this together! And you're right, many people lump all bullie breeds together. Spuds McKenzie and the Target dog are both bull terriers. The Little Rascals dog was an AmStaff, and I noticed a couple of English bulldogs in there as well. I think in the Beetle Baily cartoon Sarge's dog Otto represents some sort of bullie breed, but he's not really specific enough to identify.

It still falls in the termanology, follow the idea here ok. The Govt doesnt care what it is, thats the point.

I love seeing videos like this I am a proud owner of APBT who is also my service dog. She is the best dog I ever had. She has accompanied me every I went for a lil over 5 yrs now.. buses trains flights subway movies etc, not once has she ever been violent.. keep the videos coming.. awareness is the key factor.. bright blessings.

Love it! I like the original too, but I think this one was a bit more organized, and I loved the music way better. Kudos to another great job on another great video!

As a person who owns their first dog a 4 month old APBT type adopted from shelter. I had reservations from what I heard in the media. research grought me to videos like yours. Of course Rocky quickly tought me what the breed is about. My dog looks like the dogs in the old pictures. I ended up with the best dog a person could find anywhere on earth. "Rocky" who has passed and holds Canine Good Citizen, American temperment test and I would love to do therapy. Thank You for your great video.

My videos are about "Pit Bull type" dogs. They are all under the threat of BSL & they are in my videos to educate people of the level of craziness BSL goes to. There are over 30 breeds considered "Pit Bull types" and at least 6 breeds are generally considered "Pit Bulls"

1. American Bulldog
2. American Pit Bull Terrier
3. American Staffordshire Terrier
4. Staffordshire Bull Terrier
5. Bull Terrier
6. Mini Bull Terrier

Thanks for pointing those breeds out it only helps explain my point.

oh and the target dog is a bull terrier not a pit bull but again good job!

The dog named patsy ann is a bull terrier not a pit bull, notice the longer ears pointed up
and different muzzle. but nice video.

Thanks you for making this video

Great Job! Love it!

great vid, but some of the dogs you showed were Standard English Bulldgos and English Bullterriers.

its horrid how people label pit bulls.....

so many people are killed by other people EVERY DAY

how many people are killed by pit bulls every YEAR?(retorical Question)

The target dog is also a "pit bull-type" that's the point I am trying to make. There are over 30 breeds considered "pit bull-types" and they are all targeted by BSL regardless of temperament.

Once again you bring honor to the breed that has not only captured my heart but has changed the lives of my family. I applaude you for your effort to reverse the negative stigma surrounding APBT's. They truly are the King of the dog breed in my opinion. This brought a tear to my eye. Thank you

the TARGET dog is a "Bull terrier"!

good job!

U2 is an AWSOMe band isn't it!

My father's APBT saved my wife's life when an arsonist set fire to our place at 3am while I was away at work (ups December). He would not stop barking/tugging at her until she got up and out of danger!

I`ve commented as my other personality but I feel the need to comment again.
Fantastic video VickySpin and kudos to Zak George for featuring it on his channel.
Thanks Zak!

Great video, thanks for posting
