Is it safe to adopt a
fighting dog? How the dog behaves itself at home? If
everybody can handle such a dog? Where is the truth between
those, who call these dogs killers and those, who tell these
dog breeds are the best for a person. Media has been named
American Staffordshire Terriers and Pitbull Terriers
"fighting dogs" for several years. Having pinned this label
on them, they have no idea that dog fighting breeds don't
exist in any classifier. Remember – no expert would call the
breed as "fighting" knowing well that there may be purely
kind and tender dogs as well as excessively aggressive and
combative dogs in the same dog breed, which is not used for
fights.

Why do people, having heard the
word "fighting dog", imagine a monster with five-centimeter
teeth which rushes on everything that moves and, which is
needed to be touched with a ten foot pole at once? The reason
for this is excessive attention of media to these breeds,
unwillingness to notice the cases when people were attacked by
quite another dog breeds including such small dogs as a
Dachshund or a Toy Terrier. You won't gain in the ranking by
the facts of a scar from the bite of the Dachshund (the dog
broke skin of a finger! So what?). However the dog mauled to
death - such a heading will puff up a website traffic and a
rating!
Mighty sinews, massive jaws,
menacing look, broad chest – these are what strikes to the eye
before everything else when you look at American Staffordshire
Terrier and Pitbull Terrier. Short-sighted people speak at
once "the Killer!", and owners of these dog breeds call them
the best friends and the partners.
(Note. We live aside dog
haters, dog hanters and other people of similar way of
thinking at once – they can hate both cats, and hamsters,
and pigeons with equal probability, their hate is based on
different factors (psychological lameness or child fear of
bite – this is not essential).
However few of everymen know and
understand that American
Staffordshire Terrier was never intended for fights.
When these dogs was bred the emphasis had been put on sole
orientation, adoration and love of a person, on a heroic
exterior (appearance), on tolerance to other animals. Fighting
qualities and aggression, pugnacity and drive "to gobble up
everything" were never the purpose of Amstaff and Pitbull
breeding and were carefully eliminated by the breeders.

Moreover, a direct ancestor of
this dog breed – Pitbull Terrier – being wasted upon FCI, the
largest international cynological federation, wasn't also
oriented toward aggression to people, and was bred for fights
with dogs only. After all during dog fights the owner of a
"rival" has the right (and in 99.9% realizes it) to feel "the
enemy fighter" for a forbidden "surprises". And the slightest
aggression to the person, which feels the dog was leading to
disqualification and automatic defeat in this case, which
would hardly please the owner of an aggressive Amstaff or
Pitbull.
Therefore professional American
Staffordshire Terrier and Pitbull Terrier owners and breedres
speak in the same breath: "We have the best dog breeds,
Amstaff and Pitbull are superdogs!" Of course, after all they
train their dogs the like they should be and get as a result
smooth-tempered and faithful pet.
However everymen, having heard
this phrase, believing it and hurrying to adopt the same
four-legged friend, often dealing with just the opposite
situation – the dog who behaves itself perfectly in somebody's
hands, becomes uncontrollable at their home. And these people
say there and then that they were deceived.

And the truth is that Amstaff
and Pitbull
are not for everyone! Amstaff and Pitbull are not dog breeds,
they are the way of life of the person. Amstaffs and Pitbulls,
having an amazing strength for their small size, which allows
them to pull the car, energy that will be enough to tucker out
all the family in play, massive jaws to bite through a heavy
stick as well as somebody's arm with equal probability, an
unusual spring ability – these dogs will obey only to the
person with a strong will, physical endurance, attentiveness,
concentration, responsibility, love of a dog as of the living
being. It's even not worth trying to adopt such a dog without
having these qualities – the result may be either a dishoused
and then dead Amstaff or Pitbull, or direct threat to not only
people around, but also to the family members.
That's why there is a saying
among Amstaff and Pitbull owners: "Ill-bred "fighter" is
welcome when it's gone!" Fellow breeders are ready even to
fight against weak-willed, dishonourable and irresponsible
Pitbull and Amstaff owners for breed discredit, for turing
nice dogs into uncontrollable monsters. By the way, the
irresponsible dog handling is harmful not only according to
standards of ethics and morality, but also is illegal.

In simple terms, American
Staffordshire Terrier or Pitbull Terrier owner is a decent and
responsible person with an backbone, strict, but not cruel,
loving, but not weak-minded. Only possessing these qualities,
the person has the right to get Amstaff or Pitbull.
