Pitbull history

A Little Pitbull history
Fighting I know, I know people dont like to dog fighting, but this is some posative stuff. Fighting did some good for the pitbull, yep I was surprised to but it did, because of dog fighting there non human agresive (so they were not bred to be human agresive?) yep because two people had to be in the ring with the pitbulls and pull them apart, any dog that bit any one where cunned and never bred (cunned is a fancy word for killed) but that does not mean that there not dog agrasive because they can be. So to recap we learned that 1: there not human agrasive and is not standard to the breed 2: they dont have locking Jaws(witch is a stupid myth) because two people had to pull them apart.

Every ones herd of the bulldog, no not the english bulldog more like the amercain bulldog but not quit, I'm talking about the original bulldog which was mostly used for boar hunting as well as companion and guarding purposes and dating back as far as 1500 in paintings, they look similar to todays pitbull.They were given the name "bulldog" because of the horrible sport bull baiting became popular. When out lawed in england in 1835 and looking for new profit they turned to ratting and dog fighting, likely when they added the terrier.

The American pitbull terrier came from english and irish stock brought to the US in the 19th century.When they were in the US they excelled in cattle dogs and catch dogs for pigs. They were still used as fighting as fighting dogs sadly, but most were not instead earned a keeping as hunters, herders and guardians and friends.


These are two bulldogs of the old days
