Are pitbulls good pets?

Asked by Wiki User

Igot my first pitbull when she was three months old and she was abused. I've taught her right from wrong and she's never bitten me or showed any agression. They are really good dogs as long as you raise them good, and treat them right from wrong. I wouldn't suggest you get a pitbull if you're one of those people that are never home because they get bad anxiety and tend to tear up things when they're are alone. You will have to watch them around people who over excite the dog such as kids running and screaming, people fighting ect. because they do have the tendency to getin the middle and tr to stop the chaos. But they are very goood dogs who need a lot of time with their owner, and they are very active as well.

pitbulls r actually one of the best breeds of dogs you can get for a family dog. they r loyal, easy to train, n will do anything to protect you. they will fight until death. also it depends on how you train the dog. Any dog can be visous even a chihuahua . the dog is its owner. matter of fact the only reason pitbulls are used for fighting is cause they r easy to train. loyal. and they will fight to their death. Rottwilers do the same thing but the only difference is that they r harder to train. that is why the pitbull is used for fighting. next time u r thinking of gettin a family dog that is nice with little children think of a pit bull n rescue one instead of getting one from a breeder.

I am 13 and I'm against the protest of how many people believe all pitbulls are bad. I myself own a pitbull, she is very nice with kids and doesn't have any problem with people arround. no, i do not believe what these people are saying. there like kids. they follow in there parents foot steps. if you just gave them a chance and treated one with respect as well. then i think you will come to find out that they can be very nice and protective dogs. thank you for reading.(:

How do pitbulls hurt people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

if pitt-bulls are raised aggressivly, that is exactly what they will be. you have to respect them and treat them nicely and they can be some of the sweetest dogs. so my answer is, it depends on you or the owner. if the owner is mean, or raises it to be a guard dog then you can expect it, but if the owner is nice and the dog is only raised as a dog, family dog, or service dog, they wont purposoly hurt a fly unless they feel threatened. but pitbulls usually will attack if they feel threatend its their way of nature, its not their fault it was bred into them! 3.) Look at a Chihuahua. There aggressive. My chihuahua will attack and bite any person or dog that comes near him and he's a spoiled brat, NOT raised to be like that, but he is. You hear of a small lapdog attacking you laugh, but pitbulls people freak! Pitbulls are NOT aggressive dogs and are alot more mild tempered than most popular breeds. It's NOT in their breed, they are MADE that way buy people. Shame on you blacks!! ~P.R.O~

What is lifespan of a red nose pit bull?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's the same as a normal Pit Bull 12 - 14 years. However, like even humans these dogs can live longer (they have tenacity) and may be lucky to have a great gene pool mixed with a lot of love from the owner and family and live longer. I've had dogs of all breeds live to be 17 - approx. 20 years old.

Do pit bulls brains grow to large for there skull?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. This Myth was started back in the 70's and 80's for the Doberman Pinscher. It is no more true now than it was then.

The myth was that when beaten, a dog's brain swells, causing it to go crazy and attack.

There was also a general version in which some dog's brains just randomly got too big for their skulls. It doesn't happen, and if it did, the most likely result would be death; not a murderous rampage.

_______________________________________________________________

No. This is not a problem found in pit bulls.

Syringomyelia is a condition that can be found in Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs. It causes brain swelling and incredible pain in the those dogs.

Brain swelling leading to aggressive behavior in pit bulls is a myth that was originally attributed to Doberman Pinschers. Neither of these breeds have such a condition.

What dog is tougher a pitbull or a American bull dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is an ignorant question and leads me to believe that you plan on "using" this dog for less-than-scrupulous motives.

As with any animal, no dog is inherently "mean" or "nice" simply due to breeding. It's all about how the animal was trainedor raised. If they were abused or taught to fight, they will likely be mean and dangerous. This is a common misconception about pit bulls.

Just as with human children, dogs learn as they are taught, and behave according to their environment. A well-trained, loved, and well-handled puppy will become a good-natured, affectionate, well-behaved adult dog.

What is the difference in a regular pitbull and a razor edge pitbull?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Type your answer here... the height of the pitbull usually razors edge are alot shorter and lower to the ground

******

A "regular" pit bull is one that conforms to the UKC American Pit Bull Terrier standard. A Razor Edge pit bull should not be considered a pit bull. They are technically what is now known as an American Bully. If you read the UKC standard for American Pit Bull Terriers, the standard finds faults with things like massive heads, short thick necks, short legs, short noses, etc., all of which are characteristics of the Razor Edge pit bull. In short, the Razor Edge pit bull is nothing like an actual APBT. And I'm using the term pit bull loosely.

What is the bite force of the English roman nose bull terrier?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pit Bull Bite: 235 pounds of force

German Shepherd: 238 pounds of force

Rottweiler: 328 pounds of force

Lion: 691 pounds of force

Hyena: 1000 pounds of force

Dog bite strength is proportional to the size of the dog. So an American Bulldog's bite would be somewhere greater than 235 pounds of force (as they average larger than pit bulls) and less than 328 pounds (as they average smaller than rottweilers).

German shepherds have the strongest bite force of all domestic dogs 450-100l0bs
