American Pit Bull Terrier Profile

This canine product of the American melting pot is a true success story, a bulldog-terrier cross that made its way out of the fighting pits and into the hearts of dog lovers. Nicknamed Yankee Terrier, Pit Bull Terrier, Half and Half, and American Bull Terrier, it was admired for its tenacity, courage, agility and spirit. Now known as the American Pit Bull Terrier, it has been recognized and registered by the United Kennel Club since 1898. The APBT is a strong, athletic dog. Males measure up to 19 inches at the shoulder. Ears may be cropped or natural. The short, close, stiff coat may be any color. With regular brushing, it's easy to keep a Pit Bull looking sleek. The dogs must be kept firmly in control; they might not go looking for trouble, but they won't back down from it either. Early training and socialization result in a calm, loving dog that enjoys such activities as obedience, herding and weight-pulling.
