At the dawn of the APBT's history, both men and dogs relied on each other to achieve a goal. The dog faced opponents and won competitions, while the man chose and trained the subjects he deemed best and/or most pleasing. The first foundation of selection, in the dog/human bond, has deep roots that have shaped the figures of this extraordinary breed, still today the basis and foundation for its continued existence. APBT, this word encompasses not only the troubled history of a dog in general, but even more so the people who have passed down its guidelines to this day. Without their work, their passion, their countless efforts, today we would not have this extraordinary dog ​​called the Pit Bull. The name "American," I believe today more than ever, is merely a coat of arms that no longer makes sense, given that this dog originated in Europe, developed in America, and then evolved again in the old continent. But who allowed all this to happen? Who exported these animals from Europe to the United States in the early 1900s, whether for glory or necessity? Who in the United States worked hard with imported subjects, purebred or crossbred, creating the foundation of the modern pitbull? The DOGMANS. The true fathers of this dog, sometimes aided by BREEDERS or sometimes themselves, breeders and dogmen, merging in a union raised to the highest power. Everything in this world of passion revolves around these two extraordinary figures, legends and daredevils, who nowadays are gradually disappearing, replaced, alas, by wandering forms that have gained power because they have conformed to the masses. But always remember, this specimen, in its most perfect form, is beyond any closeness to the masses, and never should be that way.
