    he looks happy and healthy..he does look like an A.P.B.T. or he could be a staffordhire terrier..who know unless theres a pedigree to show where hes from..

    other than that he has that smile and that gleam.. overall he looks happy healthy and I hope your parents would consider keepin him.. if not ,its time to move anyway..lol

    yes i well get him fixed, no its because i own a German Shepherd already i was hoping that i can keep him so my GSD could have a playmate and i want a Pit Bull so bad:) GSD was my favorite dog but when i got my job as a dog trainer i fell in love with the pit bulls so thats my next dog and i hope its Tank:)

    He looks like an APBT to me, or at least predominantly. Have you had him with your GSD? Do they get along? One thing you should be aware of in this breed is the high prevalence of dog aggression. If he's a young dog, he may yet mature with a bit of fire in him. Some dogs get on fine with others, and some don't. One recommendation I can make is to not leave the two dogs unsupervised together. Get a crate and train him to accept being in it while you're away from the house.

    I've got 3 APBTs and they're all crated in their own room when I have to leave. When I'm home we have a rotation of this dog with that dog for a short play session, then so and so goes into the bedroom while the other gets to be out in the living room, etc. It's a pain, but it's the best way to keep peace in the household. Also a good idea to have a breaking stick if you ever need it. It's kind of like an insurance policy that you hope you'll never need, but you'll be glad you have it if you do. :)

    Sorry for offtopic.. But i have to ask. Here in Europe Amstaffs are registered with FCI and in their standard it's a MAJOR fault if an amstaff has a red nose (it's almost impossible to find one). Amstaffs and SBTs can't have a red nose. Only APBTs can. At least here in Europe. Is it different in the US?

    No. It's a big deal with AmStaffs over here as well. The nose is supposed to be "definitely black," so even blue nosed dogs will get penalized by the right judge. Also, the eyes are supposed to be dark, and rednose dogs tend towards light eyes. I've seen very few rednose AmStaffs. I could probably count on one hand the true AmStaffs I've seen over the years that have a red nose. (True meaning actual AKC AmStaffs rather than a bully-style UKC or ADBA dog.)

    Duke&Tank, nice looking dogs. Seems as though you're doing an excellent job of caring for those two. Keep up the good work.:) Cutty and BahaMutt gave you some great advice. Remember this, a bored dog tends to become a destructive dog, and those destructive habits are hard to break. Especially if left in a crate all day. To beat boredom, you must ensure they get enough exercise everyday, especially during their youthful years. Good Luck.

    They are both beautifull dogs and good luck with keeping him. Just do your homework on the breed.

    Wouldn't an AB be almost as big as the GSD, though? I'm not AB-familiar, so I don't know.

    To be honest, where I'm from, he looks like what everyone here calls a "pitbull." I think a AB would be larger also. You will never know without a paper trail. You might not even know then.:eek:
