new type of APBT? there is only 1 APBT and only 1 is needed. there are many breeds that fall under the "pitbull" category but we deffinately dont need more "types". What are your goals for this dog? are you wanting to show? if so then what kind of show, conformation, weight pull, agility, some other type of sport like dock diving? what are your activity levels? do you run? are you active? how often are you able to get them out ? are you prepared for dog aggression seeing as you have other dogs? can you manage a crate rotate system if needed? What style of dog catches your eyes look wise, would help if you had pictures or could point dogs out on here you like for us to give our opinion. { many who think they like APBT's are sometimes shocked to her the dogs they like the looks of arent even APBT's} . What kind of shows do you have in your area that may play a factor as well AKC would be am staff, UKC is show bred APBT's, ADBA is APBT but differnt then the UKC style build wise , or are you looking for a working dog? There is no LACK of discrimination on this breed , infact there is an abundance of discrimination on them.
