Black Steel Kennel

The APBT has a history and those interested should learn as much as possible and use all the internet resources available today.

New to the breed then know and remember this THE AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER WAS BRED TO BE HANDLED IN EXTREME SITUATIONS, so any excuse making for poor or bad temperament in the APBT is not acceptable for any reason and all APBT’s with bad temperaments should be put down PERIOD.

Unfortunately over the last 15 years or so, breeders with no actual knowledge have taken the pit bull to height and weight limits that are not acceptable in the bull dog world, meaning they are not real pure bred American Pit Bull Terriers of the standard they were meant to be. In fact it is my opinion that these hugely over done Hybrid (to what I’m not sure, if you want an Old English Bulldog then get a real one) pit bulls that are not pure bred, but are bred merely from bigger is better mentality. They are ruining a wonderful and courageous breed and should be called something else for they are not pit bulls any longer. A real APBT should be athletic, structurally sound and posess a solid temperament as they were bred and used for many working aspects and were family pets. If you see a pit bull that has a huge body, head and 4 inch legs that can’t make a trip around the yard let alone the block, think again is it real or hybrid. It is important to educate yourself on a breed you intend to own. So if you are confused on what’s what then ask as many questions from reputable breeders and do your home work.

Owning an APBT is a huge responsibility and only dedicated owners should own one.
