The American Pit Bull Terrier is the “Quarter Horse” of the dog world, a canine athlete known for his incredible versatility. These high-energy, confident and happy dogs love to work, and they want a job to do. The highly intelligent APBT can be trained to excel at nearly any dog sport, and they are dedicated to and love spending time with their human family. Often characterized as comedians, the APBT requires an owner who understands the challenges of the breed and is dedicated to proper socialization and training.

Written by experts and reviewed by a veterinarian and breeder, DogLife™ books are essential references that feature a spiral bound format, beautiful photographs and an easy to use layout.
