Build: Medium sized, solid and muscular
Weight: 35-65 pounds
Height: 15-20 inches
Coat: Thick, short, shiny hair
Litter size: 5-10 puppies
Life span: ~12 years
The American Pit Bull Terrier is a medium-sized dog, solidly built, with a short coat and smooth, well-defined musculature. The dog's appearance is powerful and athletic without being bulky or muscle bound. The length of the front leg is approximately half of the dog's height at the highest part of the back. The American Pit Bull Terrier's weight is roughly 35 to 65 pounds. The dogs head is in proportion to the rest of it's body with a triangular shape, a broad, flat skull and a wide, deep muzzle. The eyes are set well apart, sit low on the skull and are round to almond shaped. The ears are small to medium in length and may be natural or cropped. The nose may be any color. The neck is muscular and moderate in length. Dogs forequarters have long, wide shoulder blades, are muscular, and well laid back. The hindquarters are strong and muscular, moderately broad and in balance with the forequarters. The tail is thick and tapers to a point. The coat is glossy, smooth, short, and slightly coarse and can be any color.
<b>Temperament</b>
The APBT is a strong-willed, sturdy companion. It is a breed that is loyal to friends and family, and friendly to strangers. Under a firm hand, APBTs are obediant and show a high desire to please. However, when left without direction they can be become stubborn and they're a breed well-known for dog aggression. This fact, combined with the APBT's remarkable strength and ability, means that they are not the best choice of dog for someone who is not well informed about the breed and committed to dealing with a dog of this nature. While human aggression and animal aggression are not the same thing,[3] dog aggression should never be encouraged.
A well bred APBT should have a stable and dependable temperament. The American Temperament Testing Society shows a pass percentage of 84.1% for American Pit Bull Terrier.[4] However, a firm, even hand and early obedience training are strongly recommended for this breed. They generally have a lot of energy and high predator drive; they need exercise and stimulation in order to channel their energy properly and not become frustrated, bored, and destructive.
APBTs often display dog aggression, especially towards unfamiliar dogs of the same sex or level of assertiveness. Early socialization and good training can mean that many individuals of the breed never display this trait however there is no guarantee and extra precautions should be taken with this type of dog to prevent any incidents. While and APBT may not start a fight, even the best socialized APBTs don't generally tolerate as much from other dogs as other breeds might. As dogs bred never to back down from a fight, it is sometimes more responsible to avoid certain situations of interaction if the owner feels that he or she cannot handle the dog. A responsible owner should not let their dog interact with strange dogs unsupervised and should know how to avoid a dog fight.
When selecting an APBT puppy, it is paramount to find a breeder who selective breeds for sound temperament and good health. A quality breeder will know the breed standard as set by a reputable breed registry such as the UKC or the ADBA (the AKC does not recognize the American Pit Bull Terrier) and should both health and temperament test their breeding stock. A breeder who boasts about their dogs' "guard dog" skills or "protective" behavior is an indicator that their dogs may be inappropriately bred for human aggression. It is a good idea for prospective APBT owners to research the breeder, ask for references and ask to see their facilities and the parents of the prospective puppy.
Adult pit bulls are frequently also available from animal shelters. Reputable shelters will temperament test their dogs before adoption, so that only dogs with stable temperaments are available for adoption. The advantage of obtaining an adult dog from a shelter is that the dog's temperament is already known, and a dog with low dog aggression or low prey drive can be selected if desired.
