Temperament of Pitbull Dogs

We all know the famous Pitbull dogs which can range from the American Pit Bull Terrier to the Staffordshire bull terrier or Chamucos Mexicano, all dogs are procreated from the same origin, a bloodline called Pitbull.

We will explain what the character of this breed is like,the Pitbull dogs temperament of those who talk so much lately accusing them ofbeing aggressive and even calling them murderers.

While it is true that Pitbull dogs have a slightly strongertemperament than other dog breeds, it is also true that the character isacquired largely in accordance with the education and socialization that thedog receives from its owner.

That is to say, we can not say in any case that the Pitbullsare aggressive, since all dogs can be aggressive if they do not receive anadequate education. From the smallest of the Poodles to the biggest of theGreat Danes, a badly educated dog can be a great danger.

Clarified the part in which we must understand that it is the owner who largely defines the temperament of his dog, lets see some of the most notorious qualities of Pitbull dogs.

Pitbull puppies are small gladiators, measure their strength

Unlike the vast majority of dog breeds, Pitbulls are likelittle fighters since they are born. Being puppies they play to fight amongthemselves, without obviously hurting each other, to measure their strength.

It is a primary instinct very characteristic of the Pitbull breed, which has been selecting for many generations the best specimens when its function was that of prey or guard dogs.

Pitbull dogs have a strong character

This statement is totally true despite the fact that many ofus do not like it. Pitbulls are dogs that have a strong character so theireducation is paramount.

Try to take the place of leader of the pack on multipleoccasions and therefore we must be consistent and firm. Pitbulls are not dogsfor people without experience in the world of dog education or for people witha weak personality.

We must make clear from puppy to our Pitbull what is his position, without letting him pass or one. That they have a dominant character does not mean that they are dominant dogs, with an adequate socialization and a good education; they will be as good dogs as those of any other race.

The Pitbull have a huge heart

Despite their strong and fierce appearance at times, thoseof us who have had the luck of having a Pitbull know the enormous heart theyhave, the great capacity to love that they possess in an innate way.

A Pitbull is not a bad dog, nor a killer dog, it is simply adog. The Pitbull needs as much affection and pampering as any other dog and hewill give us as much love as he receives multiplied by ten.

They are also excellent caretakers of the herd, great protectors of their offspring and even our children, provided they are well educated (like any race). It is not the first time that they refer to the Pitbull breed as "nanny dogs", due to the love and protection they provide.

Real temperament of a Pitbull

Among the many things that can be a Pitbull dog depending onthe correct education it receives, it should be noted that in an innate way,that is, by mere instinct, the following qualities predominate:

• The Pitbull is a very intelligent and
  affectionate dog, with a lot of attachment to its owner.
• The Pitbull is a very obedient and hardworking
  dog, he loves to learn constantly.
• The Pitbull is a brave and loyal dog, he does
  not fear anything.
• The Pitbull is a very sociable dog, friendly and
  even something clownish, who loves to play.
• The Pitbull is a bit stubborn at times, dominant
  if not well educated.

As you can see, the Pitbull dog stands out for many goodthings, although every time it comes out in the media it is because it hasattacked or bitten someone. Something that used to happen with the Doberman andbefore even with the German Shepherd are the fashions of seeing who is themost bad dog, although that does not mean that the race determines its danger.
