The Pitbull immediately strikes one as being a dog of power. By no means are these dogs people-haters or people-eaters. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a good-natured, amusing, extremely loyal and affectionate family pet, which is good with children and adults. Almost always obedient, it is always eager to please its master. It is an extremely courageous and intelligent guard dog that is very full of vitality. Highly protective of his owners and the owner's property, it will fight an enemy to the death. It is usually very friendly, but has an uncanny ability to know when it needs to protect and when everything is okay. They are very friendly, but not recommended for most people, because most people do not understand how to properly raise and treat a dog. There are many Pit bull rescue organizations devoted to protecting the Pitbull and re-educating society regarding the care and training of this dog breed.
