American Pit Bull Terrier

Good to know

• People-loving: typically very affectionate and eager to please with their people, and they thrive on time and attention from their family.
• High energy, strong bodies: athletic and determined, they need daily exercise and enjoy activities like fetch, agility and tug.
• Dog-to-dog care: some can be intolerant of other dogs, so early socialization and careful introductions matter.
• Easy coat: the short, glossy coat needs only occasional brushing.

Getting out with a American Pit Bull Terrier

They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
