I can't explain how well they have met my expectations. They can be a handful. Thanks again for the wonderful work on your Web page. First this is not a reflection on anyone or any dog. It is simply my take.
Form follows function, aesthetics follow fashion.
If you will look at the old pictures of Staffords that were used in the pits, they bore a striking resemblance to today's American Pit Bull Terriers. Smaller heads, deeper chests, longer muscle, etc. etc. This was strictly due to their success in the pit, not because he had a perfect bite, topline, ears, and so on and so forth. Conformations only contribution to the working pit dog was wrestling ability. Gameness, stamina, biting ability, and conditioning were all as important if not more important than what the dog looked like.
