The APBT exterminated plagues of rats.   The APBT were used in long ago in the mines extracting the coal pulling trucks on rails.
 
When the immigrants of the United Kingdom especially from Ireland, began to arrive with their dogs at North America since 1800, is when the two parallel ways that gave rise to the breed began to fusion in a single way, already of one more defined way with regard to the phenotype and genotype that own the American Pit Bull Terrier of nowadays.
 
Certainty of the names of several British breeders is had that moved to North America with their dogs, like for example; Charles Lloyd began to concern english dogs to America from year 1840. Also from England the also breeders arrived to USA, Con Feeley, Frank G. Henry, Richmond, Delihant, Farmer, Earl Tudor, Joe Corvino among others.

From the Wales Country arrived; John PH Colby, who tapeworm preference by the Irish APBT, although later used much in his raising to Lloyd Pilot of English origin.

From Ireland they arrived at the USA; W.S. Semmens, William J. Lightner, Jim Corcovan (this it went to the USA to dispute the heavy weights world Championship title against Sullivan and later was stayed as Police in Boston), Mc Hammock, Bob Hemphill, Bob Wallace, Johnny McDonald (Gas House), John Noonan and other many.

The dogs arrived from Scotland, megred quickly with the other English and Irish dogs, reason why an own line of Scottish dogs was not followed.
 
The dogs of the breeders previously mentioned, were American Pit Bull Terrier been born in Great Britain and are the already distant parents of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier of nowadays.

The popular breeder Charles Lloyd, transferred around the 1880 from England to the USA to the popular APBT Lloyd´s Pilot, Lloyd´s Paddy and Burke´s Rafferty. These dogs were superclasses of their time and the landlord to follow, by the American fans in their different breedings with the American Pit Bull Terrier.

To put to the breed the name of American Pit Bull Terrier, in my opinion was the more suitable name than it was possible to be given. Deserving of the term of  “American”, for be America one of both places where the breed was originated, especially for be the place where later it was defined as far as which we know it at present, when the two parallel varieties or ways fused in only one. In addition, was in America where the breed with effort and commitment was taken care of and conserved. Nevertheless the England Government not only noncare the breed, rather be strived in to apostatize and to eliminate it of his country, with the aid of absurd and ineffective DDA in 1991.


 
The terms “Pit Bull” were additions to recall the place where the American Pit Bull Terrier faced or harassed to the bull. That work was very useful for the butchers and of great importance for the hard selection of the own breed. The term “Terrier” did not given to the breed to have mixed with some class of Terrier no, rather was addition for being a breed that was used to work under earth (Terrier = Earth), hunting inside the caves and burrows, extracting the coal of the mines of long ago, etc.
 
The new name of American Pit Bull Terrier for the breed, later also was given by the British dogmen to his dogs, being finally to the passage of time in that country like Pit Bull Terrier, obvious without the American. These dogs were being tried like the same breed, by their great similarity of phenotype and genotype with the American APBT. This similarity was due, to the dominant genetic contribution that passed on the spanish Alaunt by the two parallel routes of the origin already described.


Logically, when were located in Great Britain the people not called them like APBT, they were continued calling them with other names like Bull and Terrier, Old English Bulldog or Pit Dog. When I talk about to the British dogs with the name of APBT, is for facilitating the understanding to the readers and so that they really were the same dogs but with different names. Passed the years, after to be Officially baptized like APBT in 1898 in the USA, the British breeders also they finished unifying the name of his dogs by Pit Bull Terrier, but without the American ahead for obvious reasons.



 After that, in 1909, will be founded the American Dog Breeders Association (ADBA) and by his good doing in the conservation of the original APBT, it obtained that nowadays will be the APBT Canine Mother Internationally, recognized it by to the FIAPBT in the year 2000, by not to have yielded with the course of the years not one step backwards, than he is the authentic, genuine, pure was based and original APBT. The FIAPBT give its recognition by it, is thanked for it and animates to them to continue doing the same good work.
 
In 1935, the K.C of Great Britain, welcomed the reduced version of the breed, in honor of the APBTs used to pull carts on rails of the dangerous and rough mines of the Staffordshire county. The landlordof the standard of this group of APBT, with the changed name and fixed to a concrete standard, was take from a APBT that the owner was the president of the Club Jack Banard, call “Jim the Dandy”.
           
“Jim the Dandy”, of 33 l., was the APBT that was used to make the standard from the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.


 
A year later, on June 9th 1936, the A.K.C of the U.S, welcomed to their lists the large version of the APBT with the name of Staffordshire Terrier.  The dog used to establish the standard of this larger version of the APBT breed was a dog born in May 29th of 1935, called Colby´s “Primo”, bred by John P.H: Colby.
 
Colby´s “Twister”

 In this picture we can see the great American Pit Bull Terrier called Colby´s “Twister”, at 36l., whose breeds name was later changed and whose pattern was used to establish the standard of the new breed AST.
 
Even if now the names and standard of the APBT bred in England or in the U.S had chanced, these dogs still were the same dog, a pure breed APBT.
 
To emphasize, the most important policy in the breeding selection of the American Pit Bull Terrier since its origin to nowadays, is to reproduce American Pit Bull Terrier with an exceptional disposition in the relation with the people, rejecting in the breeding the units that showed the minimum gesture of aggressiveness without reasons. After that, the more fundamental genetic characters that fix inside the breed were and in the present continue being: Intelligence, class, chaste, value, tenacity, balance, attitude - positive personality, ability, resistance, powerful prey, a provided functional phenotype that allows him to combine agility-power and with a good bony constitution. By this, the APBT is the breed dog of work by excellence, with great desire to please to its owner.

Breed-specific legislation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
 

Breed-specific legislation is a law passed by alegislative body pertaining to a specific breed or breeds of domesticated animals. In practice, it generally refers to laws pertaining to a specific dog breed or breeds.

Some jurisdictions have enacted breed-specific legislation in response to a number of well-publicized incidents involving pit bull-type dogs or other dog breeds commonly used in dog fighting, and some government organizations such as theUnited States Army[1] and Marine Corps[2] have taken administrative action as well. This legislation ranges from outright bans on the possession of these dogs, to restrictions and conditions on ownership, and often establishes a legal presumption that these dogs are prima facie legally "dangerous" or "vicious." In response, some state-level governments in the United States have prohibited or restricted the ability ofmunicipal governments within those states to enact breed-specific legislation.[3]

It is generally settled in case law that jurisdictions in the United States and Canada have the right to enact breed-specific legislation; however, the appropriateness and effectiveness of breed-specific legislation in preventing dog bite fatalities and injuries is disputed.[4] One point of view is that certain dog breeds are a public safety issue that merits actions such as banning ownership, mandatory spay/neuter for all dogs of these breeds, mandatory microchip implants and liability insurance, or prohibiting people convicted of a felony from owning them.[5][6] Another point of view is that comprehensive "dog bite" legislation, coupled with better consumer education and legally mandating responsible pet keeping practices, is a better solution than breed-specific legislation to the problem of dangerous dogs.[7][8] A third point of view is that breed-specific legislation should not ban breeds entirely, but should strictly regulate the conditions under which specific breeds could be owned, e.g., forbidding certain classes of individuals from owning them, specifying public areas in which they would be prohibited, and establishing conditions, such as requiring a dog to wear a muzzle, for taking dogs from specific breeds into public places.[9] Finally, some governments, such as that of Australia, have forbidden the import of specific breeds and are requiring the spay/neuter of all existing dogs of these breeds in an attempt to eliminate the population slowly through natural attrition.[10][1
