Do You Know What A Pit Bull Is?
This is an American Pit Bull Terrier.
Most people who think or say "Pit Bulls" are inherently mean, have most likely never met one and rely on the inaccurate media hyped portrayal of "Pit Bulls" as the backbone of their opinions. Like any other breed of dog, the key areas of focus for ensuring a happy, well adjusted APBT as a pet are: Owner education, proper breeding, socialization, and training. A bread down in any one or more areas could lead to problems down the road.
The APBT is, contrary to popular belief, very human-friendly and will not naturally be aggressive towards humans. The APBT is, however, very loyal and eager to please, so that if an owner wants a dog to be aggressive toward humans and reinforce this conduct from an early age, the dog will most likely be agressive towards humans as an adult.
The APBT is a generally healthy breed. Some known problems are hip displasia, hereditary cataracts and allergies to grass. They can be expected to live about 12 years. A home with a fenced yard is recommended. APTB's are very energetic, and not a great choice for a first time owner.
