The Pitbull is good-natured, amusing, eager to please and very loyal. When properly trained and thoroughly socialized, Pitbulls make loving family companions who will happily put up with rough child’s play. Like any breed of dog, a healthy Pitbull puppy that is raised correctly will remain devoted, trustworthy and friendly to their death.

The Pitbull can be willful and needs a firm hand. They are highly protective of the family and property. They do have natural aggressive tendencies toward other dogs and animals, but are generally okay with family pets if raised with them from puppyhood and properly socialized.
