I have a female Pit that was a pound dog. I have had her for 3 months now and she is believed to be 1.5 to 2.0 years of age. She is a total nightmare around other female dogs. A huge male Pit ( not fixed ) came up to her and she was fine. LOVED him. Female dogs of any breed and she wants to devour them. She's the Queen of the Walk. So I have to keep her on leash at all times. No dog park visits either. I don't dare. She however adores babies and children. Never has bitten any human in my presence, not even a nip. So just like people there are gonna be things Little Miss I'm The Only Cute Girl Dog In Town is just not going to like. Baby steps when introducing your Pit to anything. You never know what will trigger any dog to be aggressive.
Dogs are pets bread by Man and therefore dogs are present on all continents.
"Pit Bull" came from dogs that had Bulldog bloodline, that were fought in Pits. Before Dog Fighting, they were used for Bull & Bear Baiting & Ratting. The Bull & Terrier Breeds divided into American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier & Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Before being called APBT- they were called the pit dog, the 1/2 & 1/2, Yankee dog, and more. The Bull & Terrier Breeds came about by mixing the White Terrier w/ Bulldogs, they chose the Terrier for it's High Prey Drive/ Agility & Determination & the Bulldog for the Strength & Endurance to create what we know as the " Pit Bull" Breeds. When Imported to the USA, people in the East Coast still used the dogs for fighting, while Farmers moved West & used them as Farm/ Livestock dogs.
Bully breed dogs are dogs that are classified as pit bill type breeds and were originally bred to fight bulls for sport. Not all dogs that have the term "bull" in their breed qualify. Bully breeds include the American pit bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, Staffordshire terrier, English bull terrier, miniature bull terrier, and the American bulldog. (The English bulldog is not considered a bully breed.) Bully breeds are all part of the pit bull family, but each breed has unique personalities and temperaments. Bully breeds have gotten a bad reputation because of their aggressive beginnings, but they are great dogs to the right owner.
Pit bulls often refer to breeds of dogs in the Mastiff group of dogs, which are generally larger dogs that are often (historically) used for dog fighting. Other breeds of dogs which are in the same category are the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the American Staffordshire Terrier. I do know that Pit Bulls derive from cross-breeding's of Mastiffs and American Staffordshire Terriers (look at a pic of Staffordshires and Pit Bulls, they look almost the same!!) and maybe other breeds. Good answer! But, the term "pit bull" refers more to terriers. "Pit Bulls" included the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Terrier. The most common reference to the term "pit bull" refers to the American Pit Bull Terrier, which does not stem from the Mastiff family. The American Pit Bull Terrier more closely stems from a mix of Staffordshire Terrier and Old English Bulldog (not to be confused with American Bulldog.) The American Bulldog is more closely related to the Mastiff family, not the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, or the Staffordshire Terrier.
Boxers are great dogs Boxers can be very energetic and lovable. It depends on how they are raised. Many people judge boxers and pit bulls at first glance, yet they really should get to know them firsthand. Foxxy1313
