Welcome to Pit Bull Chat!

We are a diverse community of pit bull advocates who strive to educate ourselves and others about the pit bull breeds. Through diversity, we gain perspectives and opinions from all walks of life and all around the world.

Our community covers a wide array of topics that affect pet pit bull owners of today. You will find forums referencing health, training, behavior, shows, rescue and adoption.

We also are concerned with the laws and specific legislation that affect the pit bull and bully related breeds. Our Breed Specific Legislation and Pit Bulls in the News forums are kept current and up to date to keep you abreast of current events and legislation and how it may affect you and your dogs.

We welcome not only pit bull owners and fanciers, but all bully breed enthusiasts, including owners of Bull Terriers, the American Bully, the American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Our community also loves pictures! You can browse through several categories of pictures posted by members by clicking the link above. You can also register with our community and share pictures of your dog! We love pictures and would love for you to share yours!

If this is your first visit with us, or even if you have been browsing around, we urge you to register and join our community! Registration is completely free and allows you more access to the site. Once you are a member, you can interact with others and share your experience, knowledge and pictures of your dog!

Lucky isn't so lucky : (


Lucky is a loveable, huggable, gentle old man who would love to snore at your feet. He is an absolute joy to have in our home. He was surrendered by his owners, who claimed he is 16 years old. I don’t know exactly how old he really is, but he is a genuine “Pop Pop”. He enjoys lying around and taking it easy and sleeps overnight on his blanket on our bedroom floor. This old man does, however, still have enough energy to get excited when it’s time to go for a walk.

Lucky is housebroken, crate... [Read More]
