#7 It is strongly discouraged to keep these dogs on a chain.
Unlike German shepherds, from being constantly on a leash of becoming stupid, pit bulls on a chain just become aggressive. They, being tied, of course, begin to guard the territory. But this is more from despair than by "vocation" because the protective qualities of this breed are not inherent. Often, on a chain, they completely go berserk, which can then go sideways to the owner. Hence the myths about the "bloodthirstiness" of pit bull terriers. It is regrettable that in press reports about real cases of attacks by dogs on people, as a rule, the reasons for the aggression are not named. But she is alien to the nature of pit bulls and is usually provoked by adverse circumstances. Most likely, reporters simply do not know about these "pitfalls"
#8 Since the progenitors of the Pit Bull Terrier are the Bulldog and the Terrier, it would be logical to expect that the dog that appeared as a result of their merger would combine the features of both breeds.
However, in the nature of the pit bull, there is practically nothing left of the calm and lazy bulldog. In our "American" - cheerful, playful, restless - terrier genes won.
#9 Pit Bull Terrier – a dog, as they say, of a wide specialization
Do you want to get yourself a pet and almost a full member of the family? He is perfect for this role. Looking for a medal-winning sports competitor? Or is it a sniffer dog? Choosing a pit bull for these purposes, will not go wrong. Powerful build and extreme muscularity and at the same time athleticism - these are the main features of the ideal representative of the breed. Pit bulls are bred to perform a wide variety of tasks, and therefore some individuals can look like a tank, while others remain thin.
