People often buy a Pitbull based on the dog’s temperament, price, and looks. When it comes to looks or coat color, many dog lovers tend to pick a Black Pitbull dog. Most people find the black to be a beautiful color and that kind of color on a Pitbull makes the dog very pleasing to the eye of the dog lovers.
What is Black Pitbull?
Dog breeds like American Staffordshire Terrier and American Pitbull Terrier often produce pups that have a solid black or black mixed with a white color coat. Pitbulls with a solid black color have no other color on their body while those with black with little white have chest or other body parts that are colored white. Regardless of the dog’s coat color, these are still considered as Pitbulls, and they are not a separate breed of dogs.
The dog breed was bred and used for blood sports like bull baiting as well as bear-baiting. Later they used as fighters in lowest pitting Pitbulls against fellow Pitbulls. The breed’s power and aggression had another use namely for domestic purposes. As a result, their breeding was more focused on enhancing their guard, cattle driving, and hunting instincts. A few generations later they found their place as pets for families and their children. These are Pitbulls that one finds in the lineage the Black Pitbull dog.
The dog breed was the favorite Pitbull pet of some famous persons like General George Patton, Helen Keller, and Theodore Roosevelt.
Why is There Some Negativity About the Black Colored Pitbull?
The negativity surrounding the dog is at best underserved and worst blown out in proportion. One sad fact is that some despicable people still use the dog as a fighter in dogfighting. They tend to use Black Pitbull Dogs as fighters and, as a result, most uninformed people think that black colored Pitbulls are aggressive. This kind of generalization often drags other dogs that are lucky enough to be family pets, not fighters.
The other kind of negativity comes from the often exaggerated reports of black colored Pitbulls attacks. Yes, it is true that some of these dogs attack humans and animals. Said attacks happen because the dog is not properly trained and socialized. Pitbulls who have been trained and socialized are more restrained (except when it comes to being affectionate to their owners)in their behavior.
The Popularity and Health Issue of the Black Pitbulls
Black Pitbull Terrier is a very common variation of an American Staffordshire Terrier and American Pit Bull Terrier breeds. This abundance of black colored dogs makes them the least expensive or cheaper dog that a person can buy. Still, some of the dogs that are in kennels are overlooked by people who are looking for a dog to adapt. There is also the fact that some people mistake a Blue Pitbull Dogs with Black Pitbull Dogs. The blue coat of Blue Pitbull Dogs is so dense that they look like the color black to the eye of the casual observer. Make sure you check the Pitbull if it is indeed dark or just solid blue.
A disease like joint problems, heart disease, allergies, and cataracts often afflict the dog. In spite of these ailments, the Black Pits is a relatively healthy specimen of a dog. All pets have their share of health problems, and the dog is no exception. Proper care and the occasional visit to the vet can mitigate health problems.
How Much Is the Black Pitbull Puppies?
At a $100 to $500 price range, this is the lowest price available though the puppies are of poor quality. If you’re on a budget, you could go for an $800 to $1000 Black Pitbull puppy. Finally, if you want a pup from a well-known bloodline, then the pup’s price tag is at $2000 to $20000.
Regardless of whether the dog is a Black Pitbull or not be sure to train and discipline it. With the proper attention, love, and affection your Pit will be a loving and valued member of your home and family.

Jason says
mine is very sweet, but if you get a puppy good luck with potty training, took 7 months before mine finally stopped pissing in the house, even though i was very firm with her. Mine sleeps with me at night in the bed she loves to cuddle with me and she loves baths she is always begging me for a bath and lot of times she will hop in the shower with me and play in the water while I shower.

I’m gutted because in the U.K they are banned , black Pit Bulls are a thing of beauty but the closest I can get to one is a Staffordshire bull terrier . I just lost my staffie Reggie last summer and after finding out that Am/staffs are also banned . My two favourite legal breeds in U.K are Staffordshire bull terriers and American bullys I’ll probably get one of each . It makes no sense how English bull terriers and Staffordshire bull terriers are legal and Am/staffs are illegal 🤔Proves that the politicians have a lack of knowledge about the similar temperament between our English staffies and am/staffs and even Pit Bulls carry similar traits in their character probably because they are all related. My point is even in America Pit Bulls are being euthanised every day….I’ve watched videos of Pit bull cruelty on the Dodo channel that left me shocked and upset too the point of tears 🙏Prey for justice and people who love the breed must back them up in their fight against those who have demonised and ruined their reputation!
