A pit bull can be right dog for you...

The pit bulls are aggressive, agreed. The press report is very bad about the pit bull because of the same aggressiveness. In spite of all these dis-advantages pit bulls are excellent pet animals. The reason is that pit bulls are very intelligent, very loyal, loves to play with children and crave for love and affection.

The aggressive nature of the pit bulls is because these dogs were bred for dog fighting. So genetically they carry the same legacy.

Pit bulls cannot tolerate and adjust with other dogs. The same sex dogs can never be tolerated by the pit bulls. But if the owner is knowledgeable and train the pit bull properly and believe me, these dogs are the best companion for the human beings.

Pit bulls are very confident of their strength. These dogs are very loving and very bright. These dogs depend on human beings more than other breeds of dogs. This can be proved beyond doubt.

The pit bulls cannot tolerate separation from the owner too long. They will show their unhappiness by developing destructive habit such as chewing, biting the other objects.

So the owner of the pit bulls needs o is very responsible person. The owner must take care of all the requirements of the pit bull which includes time spent with the animal.

The pit bulls are athletic animals. They require regular exercise to keep them in physically fit condition. Training is must for them to reduce and regulate their aggression.

As discussed earlier, these dogs cannot share the house with other dogs; hence keep only these animals as pet.

As reported in the press the pit bulls are not aggressive towards the human beings. On the contrary these pit bulls love to play with the children. Since these pit bulls are filled with energy from the head to toe, these pit bulls will be very fast and agile while playing with the children.

At times due to over excitement these pit bulls may knock the children down. This may be wrongly interpreted by the press. The pit bull lovers and the owners vouch for this. This habit is more found in young pit bull.

Pit bulls are easy to train. The reason is that these pit bulls are highly intelligent and have desire to satisfy the owner. Positive training methods are the best for the pit bulls. The punishments may at time become counter productive as these animals are highly sensitive.

The average life span of the pit bull is 12-14 years. These pit bulls will maintain their health well in most cases. Of course these dogs can have hereditary problems, displasia of the hip, parvo infection, allergies etc.

In short these pit bulls are easy to socialize and it will be a lot of fun having this at the house. These dogs are excellent for playing Frisbee and ball playing. hence one need to just brush aside the bad press about these wonderful animals and go ahead selecting these dogs for petting without any doubt in the mind.
