What to expect ( Pitbull Temperament ).

 
Every website has its own opinion or fact about pit bulls. One website was a guide to pit bull temperament it talked about how a pit bulls behavior should be and if not it should be put to sleep. I thought it was stupid because not any dog is going to follow every single qualification, every dog has its days and may act different doesn’t mean we should put our animal to sleep. Some of the key points off the website were: Pit bulls are always friendly, they love everyone and they are never shy or fearful. I do not think that is true. My pit bull is a huge baby he is scared of my little jack Russell terrier. Another key point was that the pit bull is NOT a guard dog, which I understand because some people abuse the meaning of a guard dog but honestly pit bulls are guard dogs at heart any dog is its instinct. Some more key points were to NEVER trust your dog around other animals OFF LEASH or home alone with another pet. Now that’s just over exaggerating about how aggressive the breed is. Pit bulls are really not that any more aggressive than any other breed of dog unless they are trained to be. Some of the information you may find on the websites about this breed may not describe your dog and that’s because every dog is different depending on how they were raised. Pit bulls need socialization right away when they are little and a lot of it, around humans and other dogs. Introducing your pit bull puppy to people and other dogs at a young age and continually can decrease aggression in later life. You must be sure that the puppy’s experiences are ALWAYS positive. Pit bulls become very dominant when they hit maturity and may become aggressive towards the same sex. A dog that was previously non aggressive may turn on randomly at or near sexual maturity. Pit bulls are considered fully matured temperamentally and physically around 3 years old. Other than all the aggression pit bulls are very intelligent and enjoy lots of exercise. They are very loving and will do anything to please their humans.

  1. I understand what you mean about how a dog has it's day. They get crabby and pissed off just like humans do. But you don't see a person getting killed for beating someone up. Also, I get how your saying that pitbulls aren't always mean, and how yours is a baby. Good blogs for sure!
