This post makes me really uncomfortable. I guess I just don't understand how in today's day and age, DA can be considered acceptable, especially in a competition meant to judge the best of the best. I realize that the breed was bred to be that way originally, but it just seems like such a massive fault. I'd personally rather see dogs with underbites or other faults than ones with DA.
Also, the very trait that makes them DA, that drive, allows these dogs to excel in MANY sports.
And, also, sorry if it makes you uncomfortable. It's part of the breed, so I would suggest not owning an APBT if it makes you uncomfortable and then you won't have to make yourself comfortable with it.
And I guess you won't be an ADBA judge anytime soon.
And that's ok. To breed DA out of the APBT would be to change the breed entirely. And some people prefer their APBTs just the way they are.
At least the owners at the show were responsible with their dogs.
APBTs aren't a breed for everyone.
Obviously.
