American Pit Bull Terrier
This family dog blends strength, sweetness, and intelligence.
Height: 17 to 19 inches at shoulder
Weight: 30 to 85 pounds Coat: short and shiny Life span: 12 to 16 years Breed Group: Terriers The American Pit Bull Terrier is a companion and family dog. Originally bred to "bait" bulls, the breed evolved into all-around farm dogs, and later moved into the house to become "nanny dogs" because they were so gentle around children. Their tenacity, gameness, and courage make them popular competitors in the sports of weight pulling, agility, and obedience competition.
