Our American Pit Bull Terriers are
Pets, Watchdogs, GuardDogs Catchdogs, or all of the above.
APBT's are what you make them!-They are willing to be what you want them to be!!!
What is surprising to many people is that a breed that is such a threat to other dogs usually have a great disposition with people. The American Pit Bull Terrier has to rank as one of the most affectionate of all dogs, and if raised as a house pet, he will be a veritable lap dog, entertaining the family with tricks he has learned and with his generally clownish personality.
In spite of his gentle nature, the APBT, because of his unusual abilities, is unexcelled as a guard dog. His appearance alone, with his robust build and his unafraid direct stare, is enough to deter the majority of would-be burglars. If more is desired, the breed is easily encouraged to protect property and people. However, it must be admitted that the APBT, properly trained, is a guard dog par excellence - and he is less likely to bite the wrong people!
