This is probably the most commonly asked question about pit bulls. In short, the answer is no.

Absolutely! Pit bulls are extremely capable working dogs.

The American Pit Bull Terrier is a high energy, highly athletic breed that belongs to the Terrier family. They enjoy life, and need LOTS of excersize, as well as proper socialization with other dogs at an early age.

No, this is completely false. There are absolutely no scientific studies proving that a Pit Bull’s jaws are any different than other breeds’ jaws. There is no “locking mechanism” in a pit bull’s jaws.

The American Pit Bull Terrier must be both powerful and agile so actual weight and height are less important than the correct proportion of weight to height.
