More than a hundred years ago, Americans called the pit bull terrier a nanny dog. If you had to leave the child at home, then why not with a pit bull. Are you shocked? Nowadays we often see programs on TV that talk about the aggressiveness of this breed. In fact, the problem is not with the animal, but with the training.
I would like to debunk a few more common misconceptions. When bitten, the pita's jaw does not jam, as many are accustomed to believe. The bite force of this breed is also not the most powerful - this achievement belongs to Rottweilers. Pit bulls are not naturally aggressive towards people - puppies begin to prefer human company to their mother's two weeks earlier than other breeds. These dogs feel pain in the same way, so stories about an absent pain threshold are also fantasies. In general, the pit bull terrier is the most patient, calm and gentle breed of dog.
