Pit Bull


The Pit Bull was bred for working and eagerness. They originated in England. the Pit Bull is recognized in the     AKC and is put in the terrier group. Instead of it being recognized as the Pit Bull it is known as the American Staffordshire Terrier. They are one of the top breeds that is used for ILLEGAL dog fighting. In the united States they were used as catch dogs for cattle and wild hogs. Pit Bulls don't actually lock their jaws when they bight someone or something they just chose not to release. they use the "bite, hold, and shake" behavior which is seen in most other dogs.
