Pit bull dogs playing with balloons like children.

The Pitbull dog, or truly known as the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT), is an extremely affectionate, loyal and intelligent pet. However, for a long time his image was linked to rude and aggressive behavior. Contrary to what many people think, this puppy is very docile, especially when we talk about children.

So much affection for the little ones made him become known as a nanny dog, demystifying the past of the breed, which was created to be used as guard and fight dogs. There are several theories about the true history of the Pitbull, taking into account the crosses that originated it and its true function.

Physical condition
The Pitbull breed has always attracted a lot of attention due to its physical and athletic build. The muscles of this dog are quite visible and require special food to stay healthy. For this reason, it becomes an extremely active pet with a high need for walks, games and physical exercise.

One of the myths revolving around the Pitbull's physical condition is that its jaws lock, claiming that when you catch something in your mouth, it's impossible to let go. Researches carried out with different breeds report that this is not true, despite the strength that this puppy has and the “scissors” style of its teeth.
