Black Pitbull: Nothing But Love

September 9, 2020 by Anita

The noble pit bull breed has had a bad rap. There are two schools of thought about these dogs. One, that the american bully is a very dangerous animal and should never be around children. Two, that this dog breed is a very loyal and faithful pit bull dog, loving of its family.

So, which is it? Should you have an american pit bull or no? It is a very difficult decision to make, and one which you should weigh carefully. However, there are ways to ensure that your “bully” will be a wonderful pitbull dog. The best of the breed is the black pitbull, or the black and white pitbull, since these dogs are purebred and will not have much of the fighting dog bloodlines from other mixed breed dogs in them. To help you make an important decision about getting a “bully”, the following is provided.

Why “American Pitbull”?

The reason why pitbulls are called pitbulls is that they were originally bred to fight in dog pits. The “bull” part is because these dogs have such thick skulls that they can ram heads and not really feel it. Later, the dogs were trained to herd large cattle, wherein their thick skulls protected their brains from getting trampled and crushed.

It is both their skulls and the fighting instincts that have garnered them a lot of negative attention. Because a vicious male pitbull will not shake its target loose even when clubbed with a bat, and its skull cannot be damaged enough during such an incident to let its target loose, there is always a concern for safety. Still, it is possible to train an american bully puppy to be the sweetest, gentlest dog breed in the world.

The Black Pitbull Puppy and the Black and White Pitbull Puppy

These are not really “types” or “breeds” of pitbull terrier so much as they are the purebred version of the pup coat colors. If you have a purebred pitbull, it is most likely black or black and white. If it is another color (e.g., tan, brown, chocolate, golden, bluenose pitbull, brindle pitbull etc.), it is possible that the pit bull puppy bloodlines were tainted in the past by other pitbull terrier or strong-jawed breeds. If your a pitbull lover and buy a pitbull, and it is black or black and white, be sure to get papers attesting to its bloodlines. You can also have a genetic test done on any pitbull puppy that appears to be black or black and white but you question its lineage.

At any rate, what you want is a black pitbull puppy. A full-grown dog should be well-trained, but only if it was properly trained by a licensed breeder. Starting with a black or black and white pittie puppy is your best option for raising a loving and well-behaved dog. There are plenty of pitbull breeders in the U.S., but be sure to check their license and ask to see their AKC or Kennel Club papers.

Training Is HUGE

Do these dogs still have a fighting instinct? What about a herding instinct? It would not be truthful to say that these instincts are completely gone from these dogs. However, these instincts can be trained in puppies to work for good. For example, a pittie puppy can be trained to “herd” small children in the family and keep the small children from getting too far away from adults. They can also be trained to save the children in the family if the children get too close to dangerous situations.

As for the fighting instinct, a well-trained pittie puppy is not likely to attack or hurt anyone unless a threat is perceived. A pittie that has been well-trained has been observed to be a very mild-mannered dog until its family is under attack, harmed, or the family home has been broken into by potentially dangerous individuals. Then the instinct to fight might be brought to the surface of the dog’s mental status, but only to protect his or her “pack.” Thankfully, such incidents are very rare unless you live in an area with high crime rates and the potential for such risks and dangers.

To begin the training, your pittie puppy should begin obedience lessons at about three months of age. Socialization of these puppies has to begin the moment they are born, or they may not grow attached, trusting or dependent upon humans no matter how genteel they seem. Handling your puppy often and playing with him/her for the first three months is crucial to establishing a loving bond and developing socially acceptable behavior in your dog.

Obedience classes for the next six months or so are key to having a very well-trained and well-behaved adult pitbull. If you are in control of your dog, and he or she is consistently obedient to you, there is little to worry about in terms of aggressive behavior. It is wise to continue training with other family members so that everyone old enough to issue commands is someone your dog recognizes and obe
