Wow, I didn't expect to get such a tongue-lashing and belittling for my opinion and statement. To say I sound misinformed makes you sound misinformed, since Am Staffs and APBTs are actually two different breeds of dogs. I've owned pit bulls for the last 8 years and had to do extensive research on them, since we are a military family and the military has tough restrictions on them. To say that the AKC recognizes Am Staffs has nothing to do with APBTs. As for the APBR, that is an American Pit Bull Registry, and is completely different from 'papering' a full-breed dog. You guys can try to be nasty and talk down to me all you want, but I didn't say anything wrong, nor did I try to cast a bad light on the breed. Get a grip. As for the weight, pardon me for not noticing he was over 70 lbs. yeesh.
