So we had our Halloween party tonight at Dog class!!! After the group photos everyone took the costumes off...but I actually got pictures to share!

In this one below the trainer is distracting them with this skeleton that laughs and lights up...

I love all the dogs in the class! they are all so great! Seeing them all work together really makes you laugh about the breed stereotypes

Wow that rottie in the first pic look totally possessed!!! Great pics LD, thanks for sharing with us! Everybody looks like they must have a great time there!! That third one done is great, rotts, a pit, and a dobe, enough to send most two leggers running for cover

Duchess was kinda hard to see in the first group picture...I just put her in a stand stay and I took a picture of the group...she is such a good girl...you can tell she is just staying as still as can be even though everyone around her is still getting situated...and talking to their dogs lol.
she wore her horse costume since the class didnt see it last year. I was so upset I cant find her ladybug costume I made

I wanted her to wear that

actually i THINK it is an Amstaff....I still dont know the difference between a pitbull and an amstaff....maybe some of the people that show dogs know more about the differences...or I should look it up at AKC lol. in the last group picture you can see there is another amstaff...but brindle. They are all great dogs.
This is the same group that we did the recall ALL at the same time once. It was awesome to see all the dogs just running/trotting to their owners side by side

Yeah, ive never been able to tell the difference either. gorgeous dog either way. Looks like they are having a ton of fun.

lol actually i just went to the AKC website...and I didn't see the pitbull or American Pit Bull as a breed...the American Staffordshire terrier was there...I wonder if "pit bull" is just a category...or general name...given to them...

i was told by an amstaff breeder that they are different, and one distinguishuing characteristic is that amstaffs have black eyes. Funny thing is, every "amstaff" ive seen other than heres have had light color eyes.

Great pics LD. Looks like they had a great a time. Duchess looks very cute in her costume.

Pitbulls just aren't considered a breed by the AKC. Several other orginizations do recognize them though. I believe that American Staffordshire Terriers are slightly smaller and stockier than a pitbull. There may be a few other small differences, but half the people walking down the street will call an amstaff a pitbull and stay as far away as possible because of ignorance.
