Pit Bulls have very high intelligence and obedience

When it comes to fierce dogs, we generally first think of Tibetan Mastiffs, Caucasians, and other large-sized dogs with longstanding reputations for being "ferocious." However, the current number one ferocious dog is not these two breeds, but the Pit Bull. The Pit Bull’s muscular skeletal system is very strong, and they have a unique trait that greatly enhances their combat ability — their pain nerves are very insensitive, which is a formidable advantage in fights. This breed is often used as fighting dogs, and they also possess high intelligence; with proper training, they can become great domestic pets.

When selecting this dog, one must first understand its characteristics. As for the dog’s appearance, there is ample information available elsewhere, so it will not be detailed here. Additionally, we should understand the dog’s temperament, starting with its attitude toward us.

Pit Bulls are friendly and loyal only to their owners, but they are highly alert and tend toward aggression with strangers. Owners must provide professional training from an early age or have professional trainers involved, to prevent the dog from being provoked by strangers into causing harm. It is advised to avoid keeping such dogs in residential communities; if kept outdoors, the dog should wear a muzzle. Private villas are recommended for housing.

An excellent Pit Bull should have an intimidating muscular physique, unyielding willpower, long-lasting endurance, extremely strong bite force, sensitivity, and a thoughtful brain. Since this dog's skin lacks nerve endings, once it bites, it won’t release easily; even if incapacitated, it is hard to separate it from the biter. Therefore, the country that created the Pit Bull has historically shot on site any Pit Bull displaying aggressive intent toward humans to protect people from threat.

Proper and careful management is essential when raising this dog

Pit Bulls have delicate emotions; their incredibly gentle gaze can melt a person’s sorrow, loss, and loneliness. A thoughtful mind and expressive face have rightfully earned them the title "the most humane dog breed in the world." Pit Bulls clearly express their feelings of joy, anger, sadness, and happiness. When displeased with a person, they will turn away, ignoring all entreaties. Their high intelligence means you cannot deceive them out of any toy they cherish. This is what makes Pit Bulls so endearing.

Pit Bulls excel at continuous running and have astonishing endurance. Their tenacious fighting spirit and tough character also make them excellent bull dogs. It is said that once they bite their opponent, they will not let go. Their compact body structure, strong muscle groups, and skin with delayed pain reflex seem born for bullfighting. This is the greatest secret that has allowed Pit Bulls to dominate the fighting dog world for over a century. Although fierce to opponents, Pit Bulls are absolutely loyal to their owners. Their bones are over three times harder than those of other dogs, preventing them from being bitten and fractured by other dogs.

The spirit of the Pit Bull lies in its toughness, using an extraordinary perseverance to complete tasks. People leverage this trait to train Pit Bulls for human work such as search and load-carrying. Thus, the role of Pit Bulls is not limited to fighting dogs; with good training, they can perform many jobs. Additionally, this dog has a smart mind and good obedience, so training is not overly difficult. However, if you choose to keep this breed, safety measures must be strictly implemented, as it is called the most ferocious dog for good reason. Good management habits are essential at all times.
