American Staffordshire Terrier | AmStaff Dogs 101 - A Great Protector with Undeserved Reputation
When people hear about bull-type terrier breeds, they may perceive them as aggressive, uncontrollable, and fighting dogs. One of them is the American Staffordshire Terrier(Pit Bull), or AmStaff for short. A dog with an undeserved reputation, AmStaffs are loving companions that make excellent protectors if trained well.

Yeah, I can definitely see why some people are afraid of them (I think I would be too  ). But, I see they can be cute at times too! Thanks for sharing the video  . |

They are quite sturdy and I can see how people can have misconceptions about them. After all no one wants a dog associated with dog fights.

You're welcome and yes, they are very protective of their owners. They are quite sturdy and I can see how people can have misconceptions about them. After all no one wants a dog associated with dog fights. Right, but it's how they are raised as to if they are mean or not.

Im afraid of them but they are lovely. I can understand your feelings, but remember any animal can bite and/or fight,- even a little Chihuahua. Think about it like this--a German shepherd is a big scary dog, but they are very protective of their owners. Annie, wouldn't hurt you but if someone tried to hurt you, well, here comes the dog that will protect the person she loves. Exactly the same with Pit Bulls. You have the right to be afraid of Pit Bulls. But Remember, their owners love them and they love their owner, just like the German Shepherd.
