The Pit Bull is energetic, playful,
comical, loyal, eager to please, intelligent, easy to train, tenacious,
strong and athletic, bonds well to people and is very loving. The
Pit Bull can however exhibit aggression with other animals especially
other dogs. Do not have your Pit Bull off leash especially in a dog
park. Tolerance for other animals varies from dog-to-dog and can change
as the Pit Bull reaches maturity which is between 2-3 years of age.
Even if your Pit Bull is friendly with other dogs DO NOT leave your
Pit Bull unattended when it is playing with another dog. Additionally,
avoid having food or toys out which may lead to competing for them
between the other dog.
The Pit Bull excels in obedience training, agility, fly ball and weight-pulling. Some Pit Bulls are used as Search and Rescue dogs, Animal Assisted Therapy dogs, and Drug Sniffing dogs. At the Humane Society of Broward County we have two Pit Bulls in our Animal Assisted Therapy Program, Amber and Lovey. These Pit Bulls have been brought to schools, libraries, hospitals, children’s facilities, nursing homes and other places to help educate people on their breed and to do what they do best…provide unconditional love to people and children of all ages, genders and ethnic backgrounds.
Now that you know the facts, please pass this information on to others and help us to help a much discriminated against and horribly misunderstood breed…the Pit Bull. Everything You Want to Know About Pit Bulls (continued) |
