American Pit Bull Terrier

I think it's interesting where the term comes from.

There is an actually AKC recognized breed called American Pit Bull Terriers.

And they do have a block head like a lot of other breeds.

They've coined that.

two each there's four what's that call the wild word with Buck he's in it but he's like he's like an out an off pister isn't he I believe that any dog could pull a sled I've seen Kevin pull a sled once granted it wasn't on

the American

it's not originally used

And not breed.

There's a breed, the American pit bull terrier.

But I feel like that's an important vocabulary thing because, like you said, mixed dogs, breeds, it's a big... umbrella term for a lot of different dogs.

And even professionals like shelter staff, as you mentioned, sometimes struggle to identify it.

I was telling Doug about our dog, Goldie.

She's an American pit bull terrier.

She's about 14.

We're guessing about 14 because she's a rescue, and

The hour is getting late.

Hey, I'm going to take another drink.

So Goldie, American Pit Bull Terrier, we've been kind of waiting for her.

I would have moved out of this house.

Sporting is the Golden Retriever and the Labrador Retriever.

Then the Guard is Rottweiler, Boxer, American Staffordshire Terrier, and American Pit Bull Terrier.

We always knew he just had a crap load of stuff in him, and it was just, like, one of those things where we just figured we would never really know, but then my mom had done it in the past and was so pleased with the results, and always so excited.

And so I'm just so glad we did it, and I'm so glad that he was still alive.

Now, when does that family of dogs need to be crossed out? Some people ask.

I come from an American pit bull terrier group of people who love those dogs.

I come from out of that world.

And that's how those dogs are bred.

but yeah that's exciting congrats yeah yeah so I'll have to get your input on some things

we'd love to yes we would love that um but yeah you hit it kind of nail in the head right there we just I Chris's, you know, road to sobriety is not the one that's, you know, through AA and all the things that you're supposed to do that are, you know, normally on TV or the certain steps.

And then for me as well, I really didn't... relate much with Al-Anon myself.

And so we just felt like this title really helped encompass that, you know, there's no right or wrong way to the road of recovery, as the person who's struggling, what we like to call the drift, and then the person that's, you know, the loved one that's really sitting next to them through that whole process, which we like to call the anchor.
