About the Pit Bull
The Pit Bull-type Dog is a medium dog breed originating in United States. Adult dogs typically weigh 30 to 65 pounds and live 12 to 14 years. The breed is described as affectionate, strong, people-bonded, energetic.
Experienced owners with secure fencing, written insurance confirmation, and a structured training routine. Excellent family dogs in the right home. Rentals with breed restrictions, owners without home insurance that covers the breed type, or households unwilling to do consistent training.
Adult Pit Bull-type Dogs need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 75 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
