Let's learn about the Pitbull

Fun Facts

• "Pitbull" is not an offical name “Pit Bull” is an umbrella term commonly reported to contain the following 3 registered breeds of dogs: Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and American Pit Bull Terrier..

• Bloodsport? In the 1970s, dog “blood sports” (i.e., dogfighting, street fighting) began to get more attention by law enforcement and, therefore, the media—making the public much more aware of these cruel practices. The hype drew people to conclude that the Pit Bull-type dog’s history of involvement in “blood sports” made them uniquely dangerous.

• Pit Bulls are not born aggressive It's practically the case of “nature vs. nurture”. Pit Bull-type dogs, just like any other type, follow “learned” behavior taught by the humans who raise them
