Pitbull

The Pit Bull immediately strikes one as being a dog of power, passion, and undying willingness. The brick-like head, which is especially broad between the cheeks (to house the powerful jaws), is carried upon a thickly muscled, well-defined neck. Its coat is made up of thick, short, shiny hair. All colors are admissible. The tail tapers to a point.

 Temperament

That sly smile, those determined eyes, that unwinding pleasure to please... the mere quality and characteristics of the APBT have evoked more human emotional, rational, and irrational response than any other breed that exists today. The American Pit Bull Terrier can be willful and needs a firm hand. They are generally okay with other pets if they are raised with them from puppy hood. 

 Exercise needs

American Pit Bull Terriers must have plenty of regular exercise and need to be taken on long daily walks.

 Trainability

Before you start training your pit bull you need to have a CLEAR picture of why you are training, how you are going to train and who you are training...

 Nutrition & Diet

Pit Bulls prefer dog foods made of meat, as they are primarily carnivores. Meat is a good source of energy and helps your Pit Bull grow, but he also needs fiber and carbohydrates to help with food absorption. Many Pit Bulls also love to eat vegetables, hard to believe, huh? Check with your veterinarian first to make sure it is okay, then try it out. If your Pit Bull likes them, he will be getting plenty of additional vitamins and nutrients that dog food alone may not offer. It will also help to add some variety into his diet.

 Living conditions

Pits will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. They are very active indoors and will do alright without a yard provided they get enough exercise. Prefers warm climates.

 Life expectancy

About 12 years
