Hi Guys
This will be my first time post here, so be gentle. I am the proud owner of a beautiful 8 month old APBT called Baily. Now before owning her I must admit I was one of those weary joe public kind of guys who really didn’t understand the breed, and it took a hell of a lot of convincing from my wife to actually bring Baily home from the breeder. I can honestly put up my hand and say my misconception where totaly misplaced and that I have found a breed for life.
The main reason I am posting, out here in South Africa, there seems to be a general opinion that if your dogs pedigree does not show a proven “tested” dog, then it is definitely not an APBT as it cannot proven to be game. Now I’m 100% against dog fighting and could never imagine putting my dog in a pit to prove its gameness, and because of that fact, if I have to call her a petbull instead of an APBT, well I can do that with a smile on my face and a clear conscience. What is your view on testing for gameness and is it frowned upon in the general APBT community.
Thanks
Brad
