These are the most wonderful beautiful and strongest dogs ever. I own four 2 girls and 2 boys i love how apbt are built and the loyalty these dogs have for their owners is fenomial my two year old loves to go out side and play or just take a nap with her puppies even if they are bigger that her. I love this breed and my dogs with everything that i have and if there is any one who has anything negative to say about a dog just because of their breed then they are just ignorant and plain dumb.

Pros: Greatest dog breed ever! trusting caring passionate brave and just awesome

Cons: none bad people giving great dogs bad names

I own three APBTs who are the loves of my life. They're amazing dogs and complete clowns. The oldest is a therapy dog at the nursing home and the middle dog is the top of his class in obediance school. The youngest is still getting started. They are great dogs and I will never own another breed.

Pros: Very loving with people and especially children. Loyal, brave and always ready for a good long hike in the woods.

Cons: Dog aggression and extreme escape ability when it comes to yards.

they are great dogs for young and old with kids or with out. My husband and i have been breeding quailty apbt for a little while and we are just head over heals for the breed any one i have talked to once you own one you will never go to another breed. one thing is they need such good owners that will put the time in to educate the public when they are out with there dog so others can learn how wonderfull the breed is. Helen Keller owned one and many presidents. also one of the only dogs to get a war ribbon was a apbt and he was owned by a general pretty cool huh we have some good info on our page with some good links at www.americandreamkennels.com

Pros: great with kids and high tolerance to pain so tail pulls and steps on feet from kids doesnt faze them.very loyal,playful,and with forever show you as much love as you can handle

Cons: can be dog aggressive but with proper socilaztion from a puppy on up and trips to pet smart there will be no problem

I rescued a male and female pit bull from my local shelter. Everyone told me I was crazy because the dogs were grown and they would turn on me. My husband picked the male up first and I returned in the car to get the female she hoped right in the front seat like she'd known me forever. I fell in love with them the first time I looked into their eyes. We've had our pits for almost a year now and they're part of our family and about 3 weeks ago my female gave birth to 7 healthy puppies. I'm so glad that i went to the shelter that day and adopted 2 new members to our family. I want to encourage people to go to their nearest animal shelter and adopt a new member to your family.

Pros: Loyal, brave,wonderful with kids, playful and alot of fun

Cons: No cons they're a wonderful breed of dogs they're a family pet just like any other dog

my niece brought her home last year when she was 6 weeks old and i was freaked out and did not want her. I was afraid she would kill our other dog when she got older. BOY WAS I MIS-GUIDED ABOUT THIS BREED OF DOG!!!!. She has been nothing but an absolute joy to our family. She's a little spoiled (my fault) and cries when she dont get her way...lol...but i would never trade her for the world. She has been nothing but a delight for our whole family and always tries to please us. The only problem she and I ever have with eachother is who gets more of the bed at night!!!!. shes great with my boys and loves to run and if there is a stranger knocking on the door she runs right up to me and wont leave me be with them until i invite them in then when she knows im comfortable with them she'll love them up too. I, like so many others were wrong about this breed and feel everyone should own a pit. We would be lost without her now that we have her and I finally tell my niece that I was blessed the day she dropped her off my door!!!!!

Pros: always so loving and playful and very loyal to our family

Cons: our other dog is a collie mix and she loves him to death definately her best bud but toward other dogs she is dog aggresive

I got my pit from a local shelter 3 years ago. He was a male over 1 year old and very obviously was fought by the so called human that owned him before me.Now he is almiost 4 and half years ago and probably as perfect as can get. Not only is he the most loving and willing to please dog I ever met but the attention his friendly demeanor gets from every person he meets simply can't be understated. He is utterly human and animal friendly and as charming as can get. Pitbulls were never bred to be human agressive and have a huge need to please which makes them very easy to train.Like any other dog they have to be socialized and taken care of properly. Mine has 3 cats living with him and has never even looked at them crosseyed..Pitbulls are the most popular breed in US and there is a reason for that. They probably are the best overall breed of dog .

Pros:

Cons: Everything. Personality,looks, ease of care,wigglebutt(you'll understand once you have one).

My Pit is the best and first dog I have ever owned. She is very loyal, and will walk a few paces ahead then wait until I catch up. She is always good with my little sisters and my nephews, but she can tell when someone doesn't like her, such as my stepfather. She will protect me no matter what. She is very dog aggressive. Yet, if she is associated with other dogs from young as I am doing, she will "be nice". This is one of the most athletic, loyal and wanting to please dog breed. Mine is 4 months old, and answers to Risky, because she likes to try risky things. They are nothing like what the media claims them to be. My pit's mother loved the water and could even dive! It's such a wonderful skill few dogs have. I would never change her for nothing in the whole wide world.

Pros: loyal, agile and athletic, protective, courageous, smart and keen, loves to exercise.

Cons: dog aggressive, only when not socialized.

I like many other people had the Pit Bull "phobia", but my boy-friend loved them. I thought the dog would eat me or anything for that matter, or turn on me in an instant. I am happy to say 3 1/2 years later my sweet pit bull is the best dog a person could ask for, not only did I not really like dogs, I def did not like Pit Bulls. My Layla has not only made me love dogs but really love Pit Bulls. Dont listen to what anyone says about them. I have to small children that she is great with she will put up with anything from them. It is truly amazing to me how she can tell the difference in friend or foe. I also know with not a single doubt that my dog will protect me and my children at all times. So basically she is my very best friend she goes everywhere with me and does everthing with me, I am happy to say we just got our second Pit Bull and he is a sweet cuddle bug too!!!

Pros: Loyal,loving,trusting, just simply the best

Cons: Dog aggressive(and my dog was socialized very well)
