Pit Bull

Lady is a Pit Bull!

The Pit Bull's love of a good game is exceeded only by its' need for human companionship! They are usually very good with children and, in England, are known as "Nanny Dogs" for their willingness to assume the job of nursemaid!

This strong, agile dog is intelligent and "creative", often stubborn, and may be defensive around other dogs. They need daily mental and physical exercise to prevent them from thinking of mischief!

The Staffordshire Terrier is sometimes known as the "Pit Bull" because of its history of being used for bull baiting and dog fighting. Because it was important that the dogs be docile and easily handled - even during a fight, most of these animals have a sweet, trustworthy disposition around their owners.

We are pleased to welcome Lady to our practice!
