"And a lot of pit-bulls are short statured like that. I heard that it was a bulldog, which in that amount of time could be mistaken."

There is a HUGE difference between an American Staffordshire Terrier (so-called Pit Bull) and THIS dog, which was a Boxer/English Bulldog mix. Pit bulls have short, stubby legs and enormous heads and move stiffly. This dog had a normal-sized head, was more lanky, and moved gracefully.

The video showed the dog loping gently, not running in a threatening manner.

.......an American Staffordshire Terrier (so-called Pit Bull).....

From The Truth about the American Pit Bull Terrier by Richard F. Stratton.....

"The American Staffordshire Terrier is one of many bulldog breeds, not too distantly related to the American Pit Bull Terrier.
Breeders today do not cross the breeds, and hence they grow ever more distant as cousins."

It bugs me when people call my Amstaff a Pit Bull. Not that I have anything against Pits
