I have two full breed pitbulls. The breeders were too lazy to reg the puppies for one of them. The other one's father was reg but the mom wasn't. Needless to say none of them came with papers. Can I register them? I know a lot of people won't take them. If there is someone I can reg them through how do I go about that?

Answer
In the case of the dog with the unregistered mother you can't, both parents have to be registered for any legitimate agency to register them. In th case of the other dog. It depends. If the litter was registered and the breeder just didn't get the individual registration paperwork you may still be able to get the paperwork from the breeder if your dog is not to old. If the litter was not registered you can't register with any legitimate organization. You could probable register with the Continental Kennel Club but it would make you look sketchy to anyone who knows dogs at all as they will register anything. (Just to test the registry people have registered hamsters and other small pets as purebred dogs.) If your dogs are altered you can get an ILP through the AKC. You just choose the bred your dog is closest to (in your case American Stafford shire Terrier) You can find the infromation here http://www.akc.org/reg/ilpex.cfm

What is the difference between a american Staffordshire bull terrier and a pitbull?

I have this dog and i don't know how to tell if is a pit or a Staffordshire.

Answer
I have a huge long explanation for this, but I'll try to keep it simple.

Essentially, there are TWO different breeds, which originated from the same stock.

AKC registers dogs called American Staffordshire Terriers, they are bigger, more muscular, with squarer heads. They are showing dogs, not working ones.

UKC registers dogs called American Pit Bull Terriers. These dogs are tall, slender, athletic, with longer, wedgier heads. They are working dogs.

AmStaff and APBT originated from the same stock, however, when AKC decided to accept the breed into it's registry, it didn't want to have the words "pit bull" associated with it's organization, so they changed the name to Staffordshire Terrier, and later, American Staffordshire Terrier.

Here are some picture references:

There is also a breed called the American Bully (Sometimes referred to as an APBT, but they are NOT APBTs, they are MIXED BRED dogs (admittedly by Dave Wilson, the man who "created" this breed) They are SEPARATE from the REAL APBT

There is also a few breeds called Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Bull Terrier which some people confuse with other bully breeds as well.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a small, power packed mini dog, with round, bulbous heads. They stand less than 2 feet tall (normally 1- 1.5 feet)

Bull Terriers (come in standard and mini sizes) are egg headed shaped dogs, which are compact, but SOLIDLY built.
