American Pit Bull Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

The American Pit Bull Terrier is the genetic marriage between bulldogs and terriers. They were bred to be solid and strong like Bulldogs, and tenacious like Terriers; this crossing developed into the American Staffordshire and the American Pit Bull.

The American Pit Bull Terrier’s reputation has wildly changed in history -- in the '50s, they were a popular family pet, epitomized by Petey on the Little Rascals. In World War I propaganda, they represented America due to their bravery and determination.

This breed is subject to more laws than any other. Contrary to their reputation for aggression and their sad history of being used in dogfights; they are used as police, companion, and therapy dogs, have enthusiastic temperaments, and make wonderful pets.
