The American Pit Bull Terrier has one of the worse reputations among all of the dog breeds in America. Sadly, these dogs do not deserve the reputation of being an aggressive dog that attacks when unprovoked. This is one of the few larger dog breeds that are completely devoted to their owners regardless of circumstances.
The American Pit Bull Terrier is strong, powerful and agile dog breed. With proper training a Pit Bull can be a great family pet, guard dog and lifelong companion. Generally speaking, there is no such thing as a bad dog, there are simply bad owners. The Pit Bull is a dog that loves to please its owner and will do everything that is expected of him or her. Unfortunately, that includes harming another animal if that is what the dog believes the owner wants it to do.
The American Pit Bull Terrier dog breed is an extremely muscular breed that also has the power to stand behind. They have a short coat that does require minimal grooming. Pit Bulls have been known for their inability to act like a dog of their size. Many American Pit Bull Terriers prefer to be considered a lap dog. They are very friendly and tolerable of situations, as long as they know what is expected of them.
The American Pit Bull dog breed is a breed of stamina that requires supervision, structure and consistency with rules. If you leave a Pit Bull unattended too much you might come home to a home that has been chewed out of mere boredom. Stimulation and guidance is key to keeping a Pit Bull happy. Otherwise, they will do what they can to find the stimulation they desire.
You will also find that the Pit Bull is a dog breed that is eager to please its master. They are very obedient and fast learners. However, they can be stubborn at times if allowed to be. It is important that you exercise a Pit Bull often and consistently. Otherwise this breed can become overweight and less active. They need to keep working their muscles to maintain their muscular stance. This can be going for a run with you in the park or catching the ball in your back yard.
This dog breed is one of the few that make great family pets as well. Not all dogs of this size are good with children, but the Pit Bull has proven time and again to be quite fond of children of all ages. It is important that both the child and the dog understand what is expected of each other while with the other. Teach your child to be nice to the dog and the dog to be nice to the child. In most cases, when a dog bites a child it is only doing it in defense of itself. After all, the dog can’t run to the owner and tattle tale like the child can.
