Pitbulls
Personality
Pitbulls have been given a bad rep they are actually very eager to please, loving, loyal, sweet and intellegent dogs. Pitbulls are not born aggressive, it is the way they are brought up which shapes their personality. The pitbull is a dog that can snap so is not a dog for everyone. Pitbulls need early socialisation and socialisation throught out their life to make them comfortable and friendly with people and dogs.
Looks
Pitbulls have a broad chisseled head, a strong body packed with muscles and amazing jaw strengh. People say that pitbulls' jaws lock but actually they don't however they have a tendancy to bite and hold on.
How they were made
Pitbulls were made by crossing the bull dog with terriers. They were called pitbulls because people used to put them in pits and made them fight. (Still happens illegally today)
