About The Breed

The American Pit Bull Terrier is a strong, muscular, and athletic breed known for its loyalty, courage, and intelligence. Standing at 17–21 inches tall and weighing between 30–85 pounds, the Pit Bull has a robust, compact build. Despite a reputation for aggression, when properly trained and socialized, they are affectionate, friendly, and good-natured, particularly with their families. American Pit Bull Terriers are highly trainable due to their intelligence and eagerness to please, making them excellent companions for active owners. They are great with children, playful, and enjoy engaging in physical activities. However, their strong prey drive and need for consistent training and boundaries make them best suited for experienced dog owners. The breed has a history as a working dog, originally used for bull-baiting and later as a farm dog, but today they are more commonly family pets and working dogs in roles like search-and-rescue.
