Pitbull

Strong and loyal dogs known for their affection toward people.

Temperamento

Pitbulls are loyal, affectionate, and highly people-oriented dogs that thrive on close interaction with their families. They are playful, athletic, and courageous, often forming strong bonds with both adults and children when properly socialized. While naturally friendly with people, they can be protective of their home and family, so early training and guidance are important.

Consideraciones de Salud

Pitbull-type dogs are generally robust and athletic, with an average lifespan of about 12–14 years when well cared for. Common health issues can include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, allergies (especially skin allergies), cruciate ligament injuries, and certain inherited eye conditions. Some individuals may also be prone to thyroid imbalances or heart conditions such as aortic stenosis. Responsible breeders screen their dogs for genetic problems and maintain detailed health records, so choosing a reputable source is important. Routine veterinary checkups, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and dental cleanings will help your Pitbull stay healthy throughout life. Maintaining a healthy weight, providing appropriate exercise, and addressing any skin or joint issues early are key to long-term well-being.
