I am not ripping on anyone's dog and do not care what type or variety of "pit bull" people chose to own. That is not what my post was about. But I admit I have a hard time understanding choosing to own a pet bred variety of a working breed and then suggesting other workings breeds should not be bred that way.
You admit she's a great breed ambassador, however. You don't feel it's possible for pet bred dogs of others breeds to be good breed ambassadors in their own way?
Sorry, it still doesn't compute for me. It is cool that you chose to own pet bred APBT and love her and it is cool for me if others chose pet bred dogs of _________ breed and love them.

If I were to go out and BUY an APBT or Am Staff some day like I probably will... I would be looking for a working/performance breeder above all else, even if they show as well.
I bought a working border collie who's lines will never be shown.
I bought a split working line/show line GSD who's parents are both worked and who has the drive and nerve to do the same.
But sure, I adopted a pet bully breed from the shelter. I adopted a pet rat terrier years ago as well.
