In this episode of The APBT Ring Podcast, we explore one of the most misunderstood practices in the world of pitbull gamedogs: the use of chains to safely and humanely confine American Pit Bull Terriers (APBT). Far from cruelty, chaining — when done correctly — can be the most responsible form of confinement for a pitbull dog with drive, strength, and escape instinct. We break down why chain setups offer security, comfort, and freedom of movement — often outperforming traditional kennel runs in both safety and well-being.

🧠 Key Topics Covered:

✅ Why many Pit Bull Terrier escape fenced yards and end up injured, lost, or impounded

🔒 Chain setups vs. kennel runs: drainage, movement, sanitation & mental stability

🐾 Ethical confinement: protection of dogs, livestock, and neighbors

💬 Common myths about chaining debunked with real-world dogman insight

🧬 How chain management supports drive preservation and stable bulldog temperament

🛠️ What defines a proper chain setup: pivot points, collars, swivels & bedding zones

Featuring documented thoughts from experienced pitbull breeders and handlers, this episode sheds light on the reality of chaining in working bulldog culture — showing that responsible tethering is not abuse, it’s wisdom.

Gatorsun, whose fighting spirit and resilience earned him a place among the greats in American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) history.🐾 Raised by R.A. Faul, Rawhide was schooled alongside his brother Woodenhead (a dead game dog) and sister Ch. Peanut, showing dominance from his earliest rolls.

✅ Third match vs. F. Manganize’s brindle dog — fought with a 107°F fever and infection, still won in 1 hour 6 minutes

✅ Final match vs. Wedge, a 4x winner from Barney blood — Rawhide broke through after 40 minutes and dominated until Wedge was picked up at 1:20
