Aaahhh, the sun feels good! Let's play ball!
Pit Bulls Form Very Strong Bonds with Their Owners.
You will have a devoted friend for life. But this friendship comes with a price tag. You'll have to honor your dog's loyalty and devotion and be ready to commit LOTS of quality time (at least 2 hours a day) to your pet for life. To banish your dog to the backyard or leaving him alone for long periods of time for weeks on end can cause him to become depressed, and/or destructive. The more time you spend with your Pit Bull, the more you'll enjoy him.
Pit Bulls are Agile, Athletic and FUN.
Pit Bulls can be escape artists! Many can climb tall fences, dig underneath, or Houdini their way out of the most secure yards. Many are forever lost or stolen once they're out. A Pit Bull running loose is likely to get into the kind of trouble that gives this breed a bad rap. Owners should provide a very secure set-up and supervise all play when the dog is outdoors, and keep him indoors when no one's home. If indoor accommodations are not possible, we recommend an outdoor kennel run with a good lock, or a well designed cable tie-out. Always have a collar and tags on your dog in case they do get lost. Microchip your pet too! On behalf of all the lost Pit Bullies who never make it safely back to their home, LCAS asks you to PLEASE be extra safe with your dog! Shelters are filled with Pit Bulls and Pit mixes even though they account for less than a third of the dogs impounded. Fewer are returned to their owners and they are much harder to adopt into good homes.
Pit Bulls are impressive dogs to show off in agility work, fly ball, and other exciting dog sports. You can utilize a Pit Bull's athletic talents by having a great time with your pooch in ways that may surprise you.
Pit Bulls Love to Swim, Run, Play Frisbee & Romp in the Great Outdoors.
Finding places where your dog can run off-lead can be very difficult, if not impossible! If your dog gets in a fight with another dog, things could go very badly very fast. You may be the one to get into trouble and your dog could end up impounded, even if he wasn't the one that started the fight. Because there tends to be some current prejudice against Pit Bulls, because your Pit Bull can cause a lot of damage to another dog, and because it's impossible to completely avoid poorly managed loose aggressive dogs in dog parks (this includes YOUR dog if you're not on top of his dog aggression potential), smart owners of mature bull breeds choose to play it safe and steer clear of these places in favor of safer options.
Because many Pit Bulls tend to be happier around dogs that they know, you may be able to find or create 'play groups' where your dog can regularly visit with other dog 'friends' for fun and exercise. Both you and your dog will benefit from the extra socialization.
Pit Bulls are very active dogs that need a LOT of run around time and exercise, but are generally not compatable with off-leash dog parks. Don't get a young Pit Bull if you live your life in the slow lane.

Pit Bulls Love Kids.
Its a well known fact - Well managed, responsibly owned Pit Bulls are some of the best family dogs. The American Canine Temperament Test Society lists this breed as having one of the most stable temperaments of any of the purebreds, right up there with golden retrievers.
Pit Bulls are Social Butterflies -
Your dog will LOVE to go places with you to see the sights and visit with your friends, family, and strangers on the street. Over the last 20 years or so, the Pit Bull has fallen victim to the careless deeds of unethical breeders, irresponsible and even shady owners. This bad combination, along with the handiwork of sensationalistic media, has created a terrible thing for our beloved breed. As a result, myths, misdeeds, misunderstanding and hysteria abound! When you walk around with your Pit Bull, you'll no doubt encounter people who'll be afraid or who may give you trouble for having a Pit Bull. By taking your well behaved bully out into the world, you'll have the pleasant opportunity to talk to lots of folks that you meet. By doing so, you can help dispel the myths about Pit Bulls as you proudly show off the lovable dog by your side and the experience will probably allow you opportunities for more interesting conversations then you ever thought possible. Undoubtedly, you'll be making friends while you're busy changing minds. Enjoy!
Pit Bulls are Clean Animals with Short Coats-
These handsome hunks have few grooming needs and are generally easy to care for. They don't like to be left out in the cold. Your Pit Bull will want to be where its warm which is inside with you! They'll keep you warm while trying to keep themselves warm. They look great in groovy little winter dog jackets and sweaters.
