Pit Bulls are wonderful animals who deserve a chance to have a good life like any other dog. However, it’s important to remember that Pit bulls are not just any other dog – They are a little more of everything a dog can be.
Pit Bulls have great physical and mental characteristics that make them excellent partners for responsible active and caring owners. On the other hand, these same outstanding qualities can make them a little difficult to handle for people who don’t have a lot of experience with dog ownership or for those who don’t understand the breed very well. Luckily, Pit Bulls are very responsive to training and eager to please. It is therefore strongly recommended to take them to obedience classes as soon as they are up to date with their shots. A well behaved and obedient Pit Bull will be a great ambassador for the breed and help fight prejudice and misconceptions.
Pit bulls are very adaptable and will even do well in urban living provided they have enough exercise or other positive outlets for their energy. Many Pit Bulls are easy going couch potatoes, but can also be quite rambunctious until they mature. Maturity can come pretty late with this breed (2 to 3 years old in some cases). Pit Bulls remain playful all their life and have a great sense of humour. These dogs will make you laugh like no other.
Pit Bulls are strong, energetic, agile and powerful dogs. They are also very resourceful and driven. “Determination” is one of their most notable traits. Whatever they set out to do, they put their heart and soul into it…
