Pit Bull Education


Special thanks to The Dog Files

Things to know

Fighting: Pit Bulls were originally bred to fight and every Pit Bull has that trait in them. They may fight over status, or because they get too excited. A responsible owner must remember that their dog can cause serious injury.
Human Aggression: While Pit Bulls were bred to fight, they were not bred for human aggression. If they show aggression towards humans, they have most likely been abused, never socialized, or not treated right. A Pit Bull kept on a tie out in the back yard, for instance, would be a good candidate to attack.
