Description

This pit was a rescue dog and is the best pup anyone can have around. This pup loves everyone and everything. You'd think he is a bird dog as he chases birds and buzzards. He is very happy and well taken care of. He also has a brother which he loves playing with and chasing around the farm. This pups are only mean if the owner make them this way which yes some do. A pup of this caliber can be your best friend if taken care of the proper way and raised right. These pups make a great therapy dog.
The Pit Bull Terrier was created by breeding mastiffs and terriers together to produce a dog that combined the drive and agility of the terrier with the strength of the mastiff.[6] These dogs were bred in England as all-around farm dogs as it says in the dogbreedinfo.com Website, and arrived in the United States where they became the direct ancestors of the American Pitbull Terrier. In the United Kingdom Pit Bulls were used in bloodsports such as bull baiting, bear baiting and cock fighting. These bloodsports were officially eliminated in 1835 as Britain began to introduce animal welfare laws. Since dogfights were cheaper to organise and far easier to conceal from the law than bull or bear baits, bloodsport proponents turned to pitting their dogs against each other instead. Dog fighting was used as both a bloodsport (often involving gambling) and a way to continue to test the quality of their stock. For decades afterwards, dog fighting clandestinely took place in small areas of Britain and America. In the early 20th century pitbulls were used as catch dogs in America for semi-wild cattle and hogs, to hunt, and drive livestock, and as family companions.[6] Some have been selectively bred for their fighting prowess.[7][8]

Pit Bull Terriers successfully fill the role of companion dogs, and police dogs,[9][10] and therapy dog.[11] Pit Bull Terriers also constitute the majority of dogs used for illegal dog fighting in the America[12] In addition, law enforcement organisations report these dogs are used for other nefarious purposes, such as guarding illegal narcotics operations,[13][14] use against police,[15] and as attack dogs.[16]

In an effort to counter the fighting reputation of pit bull-type dogs, in 1996 the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals renamed pit bull terriers to "St. Francis Terriers", so that people might be more likely to adopt them.[17] 60 temperament-screened dogs were adopted until the program was halted, after several of the newly adopted pit bulls killed cats.[18] The New York City Center for Animal Care and Control tried a similar approach in 2004, relabeling their pit bulls as "New Yorkies", but dropped the idea in the face of overwhelming public opposition
