The nature and character of the American Pit Bull Terrier, whose ancestors were once bred to participate in most forms of 'Blood Sports', emerged from this purgatory physically and mentally strengthened. Today he takes his place as natural guardian of the home, protector, and playmate of the children.
The Pit certainly owes its anatomy and essence to its history. Long after the time when wild dogs became pets, determined by fitness and adaptability, the ancestors of the Pit Bull survived only thanks to strength, intelligence and courage. This is one of the reasons why the Pit Bull remained a functional dog, more than just an exhibition dog. His unique bravery used to be shown at American borders, but today the dog proves it every day at work on farms and as a family dog at home.

A Pit Bull that lacks character is a caricature - a sad, not an amusing one. The typical Pit Bull is a pattern of self-confidence not only at home but also at the dog show, in the park, on the main road. This dog is playful, loves to please. As robust as he is, bursting with strength, he is gentle and sensitive with all he loves. He shows little respect for territorial claims, unlike most dog breeds he may seem to believe that whose property he happens to own belongs to him. He is benign towards children and has something of an 'eternal young dog' about him.
He enjoys games like rope pulling, catching and retrieving even at an advanced age. He accepts reasonable rebukes benignly. Often a rebuke in words at the right time is all he needs because by nature he always wants to please his owner. And one of his great gifts is to notice the difference. No own watchdog training is necessary or to be recommended, because the Pit Bull is by his nature an extraordinarily capable watchdog.
