What is a Pitbull?


Read More
Read Less

A pitbull is not just one breed of dog but a collection of breeds created by crossing bulldogs and terriers. The common dog breeds that fall under the “pitbull” umbrella are:

  • American Pitbull Terrier
  • American Staffordshire Terrier
  • American Bulldog
  • English Bull Terrier

At one time, pitbulls were prized family dogs, nicknamed "nanny dogs" for their attention and care around children. Unfortunately, they were also bred for cruel and inhumane "sports" like bear–baiting and dog fighting for many years. Because of that history, their breeds have been considered aggressive and intimidating. However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    Doug came to my home for an initial evaluation with our puppy, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly patient, informative, and a wealth of knowledge. As first-time puppy owners beginning the training process, he took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. I was really impressed by the wide range of training services Dog Training Elite offers and how personalized their approach is. After meeting with Doug, I'm excited to enroll my puppy in their day camp and continue working with the team. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for professional, knowledgeable, and supportive dog trainers!

Common Pit Bull Personality Traits

Because of their tumultuous breeding past, pit bulls get a bad reputation for being mean, loud, and fierce. But if you have ever met a well–trained pit bull, you'll quickly learn that most do not possess those qualities. Below are a few common pit bull personality traits you may not know about.

  • These breeds are often easier to train than other breeds because of their loyalty and desire to please their owners.

  • Pit bulls are highly energetic and love to be active.

  • Because these dogs are usually misunderstood and consequently given up, pit bulls are the most adoptable breed in need of loving homes.

  • Pit bulls have a lifespan of 8–15 years.

  • These breeds usually don't bark a lot. However, if there is a barking problem, it's probably due to boredom or anxiety, which the trainers of Dog Training Elite Carmel / Fishers can address!

  • Pit bulls are highly affectionate, making them great family and service dogs.
