Origin and history of the Pitbull

The American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier descend from the same lines. It is generally accepted that Staffies arose from crossing the Bulldog with the Black and Tan Terrier with the ultimate goal of creating a strong and brave fighting dog at a time when both blood sports were extremely popular during the 19th century.

The result was called the Bull and Terrier, which would later be called the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. They gained passage to the United States at the end of the 19th century, where they became known as the Pit Bull Terrier or American Bull Terrier. The Americans preferred a slightly larger dog than the English preferred, and over time the two breeds diverged.

Because Staffies were originally bred as fighting dogs, gaining recognition from the Kennel Club was a challenge and it was not until the 1930s that the Kennel Club officially recognized the Staffordshire Bull Terrier as a breed in its own right.

The personality of these dogs evolved into having a sweet and trustworthy disposition with people. Unfortunately, they have sometimes attracted people who seek them out for their strength rather than their loving abilities. Starting in the 1980s, they became the target of breed-specific laws intended to ban or control certain types of dogs. Despite this, he is extremely popular with people who want a people- and fun-loving dog.

Character ofthe Pitbull

Pitbulls are known for their bold and brave nature, as well as being completely trustworthy and intelligent, although they can be very stubborn. They need to be trained, as they are very intelligent dogs that learn new things quickly. Their reputation for being aggressive by nature is completely unfounded and they should not be thought of as a "dangerous" breed.

They love to be around people and do not do well when left alone for long periods of time, which could lead to destructive behaviors in the home. They are also powerful chewers and will resort to chewing anything they find around the house if left alone for too long. This is because they get bored easily or become stressed when left alone. They also need to chew things to keep their teeth healthy and in good condition. Chewing also helps older Pitbulls stay relaxed when they feel any kind of stress.

They can't help but show their affection and will jump up so they can lick your face, something even the best-trained Pitbull can't resist because it's part of their affectionate personality.

The "bad" reputation that has been given to the breed is undeserved and unfounded because American Staffordshire Terriers, when well trained and cared for, are wonderful, well-mannered and loving family pets that boast an infinite amount of energy and enthusiasm for life. life. Of course, they need to be socialized from a young age so that they accept being with other family pets and any introduction to new animals should be done carefully and slowly to avoid any aggressive behavior. In general, he shows a kind and exceptionally loyal character, especially with one person, who is usually the one who feeds him. It is a real pleasure to have them around and share a home with them.
