What is a Red Nose Pitbull? This breed of canine is a different type of American Pitbull Terrier instead of a separate breed. The Red nose pitbulls, have many interesting facts like its origins, personality, appearance, etc. If you want to know more, then go and read the topics below. [toc]
The Origin of Red Nose Pitbull
The Red Nose Pitbull breed’s origin goes back to the mid-1800s in Ireland, and the dogs’ ancestor is Old Family Red Nose (OFBR) family strain. The entire American Pitbull Terrier (including the Red Nose), were originally bred as fighting dogs in blood sports and dog fights. Thankfully the canines have another purpose as home guardians, catch dogs, hunters and family pets for English immigrants to America. Today the animal is not just a family pet, but also works as therapy, police and companion dog. It’s a good thing that the Red nose pitbull is past its bloody and savage beginnings because we now have an excellent pet.
Red Nose Pitbull Temperament
The original Red nose pitbull dogs have an aggressive fighting nature due to their roles as a blood sport and fighting dog. Nowadays thanks to careful breeding, the canine’s aggressive nature is gone. You get a dog that is friendly, loyal and protective. The protective nature of the canine shows itself when they detect a threat to their family and home. Also, the hunter instincts are still present so be careful in letting the Red Nose Pitbull dog meet unfamiliar animals or pets. Training and socialization methods on a Red nose pit puppy also help in improving its behavior.
Many people have an unfavorable view of the dog due to reports of its aggressiveness and attacking people. It’s true that some pitbulls has aggressive behavior, but the negative reaction of the animal is due to poor breeding methods, lack of training, poor socialization and abuse. The result of breeding and raising a Red Nose Pit properly is a well-adjusted animal.
Red Nose Pit Health Problems
The Red Nose Pitbull like any other dog breed is relatively healthy, but they do suffer from health problems. Knowing what can ail your pet is essential so that you can take action in preventing the problem. Here are four examples of health problems that affect the dog:
- Allergies – Three types of allergies affect the dog. Skin Allergy is due to fleabites and causes the skin to be inflamed, red and scabbed. Food allergies are due to certain types of foods especially if the food is not suitable for canines. Lastly allergies due to mold, dust, and
- Joint problems – Dog joint pain is the result of degenerative or developmental issues. Elbow along hip dysplasia are degenerative-type problems, and they are hereditary. Developmental issues are usually due to age or overuse like osteoarthritis. Also, some canine breeds are predisposed to have joint problems.
- Heart disease – Similar to humans, heart disease in dogs is common. A will Red nose Pitbull canine show signs of fatigue, walking or exercise difficulties, sleep trouble, breathing problems and weight loss. You can prevent heart disease (except heartworm disease) in your pet, but you can reduce its chances of happening.
- Cataracts – Disease, trauma and old age can cause the canine’s eye to become opaque thus leading to partial or total blindness. Depending on how severe the cataract, it can’t bother the dog that has it. Still monitoring the progress of the cataract is a must.
Whether the American Pitbull Terrier has a red nose or not, it is vital that your pet visits a veterinarian to check-up its physical condition. The disease can be mitigated if not stopped should the vet discover it. Also, a healthy lifestyle for your dog can lessen the chances of disease and increase the Pitbull lifespan too. Do not let the problems get severe so try to nip them in the bud as early as possible.
Cost of Red Nose Pitbull Puppies
If you are willing to spend some cash to buy a Red nose pitbull puppy, then make sure that you got plenty of money to pay. The pitbull cost the same as an American Bully dog. A top quality canine ill cost as high as $11000, as low as $3000 or somewhere in between the two figures. The price tag applied to either Red nose pitbull puppies or adults. The lineage and quality often determine the price of the breed. A dog for breeding competitive and show purposes will be expensive while those for pet companionship only will cost less. Bear in mind as what kind of Red nose pitbull’s you want before buying.
Buying a very cheap canine may be tempting, but I’d advised that you don’t get one. Cheap-priced canines are they adults or puppies usually are of low quality and have health issues that can cost you more money in the long run.
By the way, the color of the dog’s nose has no bearing on its price.
Red Nose Pit Appearance
A Red nose pitbull is more massive than normal Pitbulls and is muscular and stocky as well as agile. The canine’s brick-shaped head is broad between the cheeks and has massive, powerful jaws. The body has a broad chest and a deep thick muscular neck. The coat hair is shiny and short making hair grooming less difficult. The dog’s coat color is reddish with patterns of cream or white on both the chest and toes. Lips and toenails are red, and the eyes are either red or amber. The nose is not red, but copper-red.
An average male Red nose pits is 18 to 22 inches at the withers and weighs at 35 to 65 pounds. Females are slightly less tall and weigh less as well.
The canine’s rough and tough looks along with its bloody history are why some people mistake the breed as dangerous. As the saying goes “looks can be deceiving” and if one looks past the exterior, the Red Nose is a sweet animal.
Training Tips
A Red nose pitbull dog has an inherent streak of stubbornness in its personality and has a strong will. Training will mitigate the stubborn aspect of its character, and you can teach the dog some tricks as well.
When doing some Red nose pitbull training, try to use lots of positive reinforcement. If the animal fails in its training, don’t get angry or hit it physically. Instead, give some encouragement to the doggie and redo the exercise again until it gets it right. Should your pet succeeded in its training or doing a simple trick, give it some reward in the form of nibbles and praise the dog for its success. You need not worry about the training being troublesome for the Red Nose since it’s an intelligent animal and is willing to please you.
Training a Pitbull red nose puppies quickly is possible due to its age, but training adults are hard due to them being set in their ways. You will need to put more effort and time into training the latter.
Exercise
Keeping a red nose pit is essential for its health and physical well-being. The canine is adaptable to both outdoor and indoor environments, but keeping it indoors for an extended amount of time is not good for the dog. At least once a day, the red pit its needs to go for a walk and given enough playtime. Vigorous exercises like hiking is another good way for a workout.
Lack of exercise can lead to the dog becoming obese, and you could end with more health problems that you and your pet can handle.
Just bear in mind one thing: the Red nose Pitbulls is just a variation of the American pitbull terrier, who just happens to be born with a red nose pit. Do not pay heed to the claim of some breeders that the dog is an entirely new and different breed of Pit Bull. These breeders will sell you the dog at an expensive prince when the actual price is similar or equal to the one would typically pay for an American Pit Bull Terrier. So be careful of buying a Red nose puppies at a very high price.
Regardless of whether your American Pit Bull Terrier possesses a red nose or not, the dog deserves all the love and care that you give to it. Looks are not important if you truly love something especially if it is your Pit Bull dog.
Types of Food
A strong and agile animal like the Pitbull dogs requires the best kind of doggie food to have long as well as healthy life.
The dog requires high-protein meat with low-grain type doggie food. Avoid potatoes, corn or wheat since these food types have allergens that can affect your pet. Also, avoid foods that have lots of fillers since they lack the proper nutrients.
You can feed your Pitbull once or twice a day and make sure that during each meal, your pet receives its daily food allowance. If you are daily giving your homemade dog food, then serve it meals that are 2 to 4 percent of its total body weight.
If you are feeding very young puppies, serve them softened dry food two or three times a day. Once the pups are fully weaned, use high-quality puppy food (for large breeds) to serve them two to three times a day. Continue serving the pups with this food until it reaches twelve months of age.
You have a choice of serving your pet dry dog foods, wet dog foods or homemade dog foods. Dry foods tend to be healthier, while wet foods are rich in calories and fat. Raw dog foods are good to eat and healthy depending on the preparation. Before serving homemade foods, consult your veterinarian.
Lastly, do not feed your pet too much food. Coupled with lack or inadequate exercise, your dog can become obese due to overfeeding. A Red nose Pitbull lifespan is affected by its state of health be it good or bad.
Living with Red Nose Pitbull Terrier
The Red nose pit dog like any dog breed requires that its owner (that’s you) know how the canine will affect him or her and the family. For starters, you will need to spend a considerable amount of time with the dog. Be it training, play or exercise the Red Nose loves your company. Neglecting the animal can cause it to to get bored and acquire destructive tendencies.
The dog is an excellent guard of your home and will not attack unless it thinks that the threat or danger is apparent. Nonetheless, the canine can discern friend from foe. When interacting with kids, the dog shows affection and love; still, you need to supervise any interaction between them. Your pet could unintentionally hurt a kid due to its strength. Living with other animals pets can be difficult if the Red Nose is not adequately trained and socialized.
Grooming a Red Nose Pitbull Terrier
A well-groomed Red Nose Pitbull’s coat is shiny, vibrant and healthy-looking. Due to the canine’s short and flat hair grooming it is easy if you know how. A daily brushing using a rubber curry brush is more than enough to straighten out the coat hair.
If you intend to bathe the canine, then do it only when the need is great. A doggie shampoo that is natural with no pesticides or chemicals is suitable for use. Do not use any human shampoo and soaps with sulfur, alcohol or tar-based. Make sure to rinse the Red Nose thoroughly to remove all the shampoo. After bathing, use a towel to dry-off the canine.
Make sure that you check the Red nose pitbull’s body for signs of scabs, sores and hot spots since these can be signs of infection. Also, trim the toenails if they get long enough.
Also, brush the canine’s teeth once a day to keep it clean of tartar and to prevent bad breath.
Recognized Clubs
The Red Nose pit has recognition from several doggie clubs: the American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC), the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the United Kennel Club (UKB). These clubs keep a registry of many Pitbulls and have a notable list of the breeder and their kennels as well as rescue centers.
Rescue Clubs
If you can’t buy a Red Nose Pitbull for whatever reason, then adopting one is your other option. Here are some rescue centers in where you can find a Red Nose Pit:
- Bobbie’s Pit Bull Rescue & Sanctuary
- Pit Bull Rescue Central
- Villalobos Rescue Center
Most dogs in these rescue centers are adults and are already set in their ways so there will be some difficulties on their part in adjusting to a new owner. Rarely will a young pup be available for adoption, but if you can get one then do it.
Finding a Good Breeder
If you haven’t got a Blue Nose Pitbull, then a trip to a Pitbull breeder is on order. The first thing to do is find a breeder that has an established reputation for producing high-quality pups. Check the canine’s antecedents as well as visit the kennel in person. By visiting personally, you can get a gist on how the breeder treats his dogs. Lastly, the breeder must have a certificate of health for his or her puppies.
If you are looking for Red nose Pitbull breeders, then you’d out of luck. For one thing, a Red Nose Pitbulls are not a separate breed. There is no sure way of breeding a Red Nose Pitbull since it happens by chance or is random. You’d be likely to see more Blue nose pitbull canines than Red nose pitbull. On the other hand, you could ask the breeder to reserve you a Red Nose, though you might have to wait for a while.
Red Nose Pit Dogs Socialization
Socialization tends to go hand-in-hand with Red Nose Pitbull training. Here are some general tips to help you:
- When you bring your eight-week-old puppy home, introduce him to a variety of experiences.
- Have the pup interact not just with your family, but visitors as well.
- Take your pet to locations that you would likely visit like say a walk in the park.
- Also, make the pup get used to interacting with other dogs.
Socializing an adult Pitbull can be difficult, so you going to do more work on it.
One important thing to remember about the Red Pitbull dog: it’s not just a pet companion, but an integral part of your family and home. A Red nose pitbull dog that has experienced proper handling along with correct training is loyal, protective and adoring of its family. You can’t get a better dog as a pet, and this guy is worth the time and effort you put into it.

Rho says

My boys still ask about him which makes me so sad…..My heart will always hurt because I was there at the end….he was sick and I had to hold him till he fell asleep….
clarence ingalls says

Mel says

He does get bad allergies & is allergic to the protein in red meat- who woulda thought huh? When bad he comes up in hives, I give him abt 10mg Telfast or Zyrtec which helps.
Kullike Mand says

Elden says

Elden says

AMOS lee says
I have a red nose pit and she is very protective but she do not make no worries or attack she will lay in the yard and watch what you do but she will not get up and try to attack you
Vinny says
Red nose isnt a breed of pitbulls red yes thats a bloodline. They are working dogs and companions alot have high drive for a reason rhey used to be for rounding up bulls or big cattle every dog can be aggressive because of the breeding and genetics i know because i lost my tri American pitbull yea i said tri color try to find a pit tri with out bully or American staff. My buddy went back to the original Foundation to make American pitbull to make the tri color pit to papers because he was all messed up to even file them or ask the people he got the dogs from probably because he burnt bridges
Cindi McGinnis says
I have a red nose pit-bull that is12 years old. She is the best dog I have ever had. They get a bad rap because of the media and I believe it is all in how they are raised. My dog loves kids and is very loyal to our family, she is very smart and easily trained. They are very jealous and don’t play well with other dogs. You must train them at an early age to be around other animals. Rozi had been a joy to our family and I will have another one should something ever happen to her.
Kendra Hite says
I agree girl
Sophie says
Looks are deceiving I was petrified when my son got one but it’s down to the owner if their aggressive as most gang members or boys who think their hard terrorise them so they become aggressive we have a puppy and shes adorable x
Maxine Totten says
My boy is 8 now and would never ever use the word Devil to describe him or his breed,he has always been a very obedient and trustworthy part of our family and pray he will be for a few more years to come,I have never had reason to doubt his behaviour or temperament x
Toni says
You are part of the problem. I have an 11 month old red nose, who is also a rescue. He has been beaten, starved, neglected and STILL defies all odds and is the sweetest, smartest, most loyal, and all around best dog I have ever had. Keep your ignorance to yourself and go buy a chihuahua. I guarantee it will bite someone before my pitbull.
Don Holland says
Thats true about Chihuahua biting but there has NEVER had a single reported mauling or death from one. Can you aver to the contrary about “bully pits?”
Lamarious Q Williams jr says
i want one of your red nose pitbull
Budda says
Yea check the stats buddy those little shits kill more babies than pitbull
Patricia Newell says
The only reason pitbulls have mauled or attacked or killed is because some ignorant jerk taught them to be aggressive. Rottweillers,dobermans,german sheperds, and even labradors can be taught the same way and be just as dangerous! They also have had a bad rap before pits. Now people have chosen to unfairly judge pits due to the same ignorant slugs that torture these innocent animals. They become EXACTLY how YOU want them to be. Like a child teach them aggression and tgey learn aggression but teach them love loyalty respect and patience and they learn just that. I have a rednose have had her 5yrs. She went from the torture of being fought to the most loving loyal kid friendly and super intelligent REGISTERED SERVICE DOG(companion) So go on somewhere with the judgements because they are based on MAN MADE tragedies.
kathleen bouchard says
amen
Lynn Allison says

Jess says
Thank you Toni truth needs to be said more often when concerning any pitbull. They are the most loyal loving sweetest dogs ever and it would be a tiny rat thing of a dog to bite first.
Tiff.herrell says
We have 2 chihuahuas n 4 red nose Apbt’s n the little ones r hands down the aggressors in the house. Try to train a chihuahua then go try it on a Pitbull and see who gives the results. I hate when u find yourself always having to explain or vouch for these dogs lack to knowledge and information and ignorance of the breed. Always the ones who’s never owned or been around this type of dog.
Ace_G says
chihuahuas are not inherently nasty. no breed is inherently nasty.
AMOS lee says
That is so true

All pitbulls should be put down. https://youtu.be/UNpWE2JPC54
Greg says
You should be put down I have raised my pitbull since he was 4 weeks old and the first person to touch my dog will figure out not to fear him but to fear me
Stacey Lynn says
I believe you should be put in a cage, starved, beaten and tortured, hoping death will come but yet you stay alive only to go through the same living hell everyday. My pit bull’s life means much more than yours ever will. You probably only said that to piss people off because you have nothing going on. Sir if you’re that pathetic put a gun to your temple and don’t miss :)
Kathryn says
Stacey you spoke for me also, thank you!
Rick says
Then Mark, would you put your own children down if you raise them like some evil people do the Pit then that’s telling me your evil – your stupidity of the Pit shows it here okay if you remember the program back in the 70’s the little rascals, the white dog that was on there Pete D was a Pit Bull – plus a pit is known as a nanny dog, people,media and being stupid,retarted has made it like they are monsters and they are not at all.
Rico Suave, seattle says
Dogs in general are men’s best friend, one day you are going to be a real old man, with needs and you are going to have the need to have a dog next to you to help you with your therapy, and depression and a pit bull is the best dog to calm u down and think different about pitbulls
Kenneth Musson says
Mark Anderson, that is a racist attitude, and stereotyping to the extreme. I would not wish the hatred and fear people have of my dog to anyone.
Emelia says
Cunt you’re fucked in the head no dog deserves to be destroyed I can’t say the same about people tho, these dogs are the most well mannered, intelligent and loyal dog I’ve ever owned please never get a dog you’re a shitty person :)
Marilyn says
Hello Toni, very well said. I don’t have a red nose pit. But I do have an American Pit. And I will never own another dog. His name is Cullen and he is just like my son. And do me a favor take good care of yours and have fun. The Pitbull breed needs more people like us.
Kendra Hite says
Toni I honestly agree with u. I have one and he is the same. Your 100 percent honest, my pit has never been vicious
Michael Fry says
Don’t be fooled by the comments here they are a very aggressive dog not for a person who doesn’t want be sued at sometime.
Ace_G says
there is no such thing as an inherently aggressive breed.
Laura K says
You are Stupid – you lack Intellectual capability!!! I have a Red nose/Blue nose mix-Bubba – I will never own another dog. They are everything your hearing here!! Sweet, kind, loving, loyal!!
Bubba loves to snuggle – Obviously your life sucks since you’re missing out on such an amazing dog. Your loss – Stupid
Tracy says
Please explain to me where these dogs look evil like the devil cause I own3 of them & don’t see evil anywhere all I see is a beautiful dog full of love
Mj says
Tracy, go lay down by your dish. Keep your stupid comments to yourself. If you want to see the devil, go look in the mirror.
Tom Frost says
You are foolish, and ignorant.
Macy says
If that is what you think, why are you looking at them. There are better things to do with ones time than go on a sight & make rude comments about the breed’s appearance that you obviously don’t care for. #judmentalgetabetterhobby
Fred SAnford says

Amy Albright these dogs are Beautiful. u must need a pair of glasses. not only the the red nose pitbull but all of them are beautiful.
Angela says
That is one of the most ignorant comments. They are beautiful, intelligent, loyal and very loving dogs. You have been brainwashed by people who have no idea what they’re talking about.
Louis Brown says
Wow Amy you are an Idiot!
AMOS lee says
Amy I do not know what you are thinking about or talking about but think about it if a man stared at you you will get him an evil look to the dog only looks like he was born but he will not harm you unless you harm him
Aino Sandell Bredtved says
To me they look absolutely stunning – adorable and beautiful – gentle and loving – it’s all in the eye of the beholder.
Stephanie Thompson says
I have owned several dogs, and my most recent is a red-nose pitbull. She is beautiful, protective, and my best friend. ALL DOGS CAN ATTACK AND HURT, but often times its a BAD owner giving the dog a bad rep. Having a pitbull is like practicing safe gun control. When a dog behaves badly, look at the owner, not the animal.
Vi says
They are the sweetest dogs ever
James says
You’re a loser, these are beautiful animals and my dog would protect me and my family with its life, yet she goes into the yard next door and let’s the girls dress her up in dresses and boas for tea parties. At least twice a day I hear how beautiful my completely red, rescue dog is. To hear you say they look evil is annoying. My mother and grandmother hated animals until meeting my new buddy, now my mom feeds her off of her own fork, which if you knew her, you would pass out. I bet you look evil and are just jealous of the perfection you see in these beautiful souls. Go to hell!
agathastravels says
I agree. My Buddy also loves to dress up, and have clothes put on him by kids too!! They are such kind souls!
DREW says
Thank you James, I have a wonderful family, people, and kid loving red nose pit who also protects my home and love. I agree, haters and brainless and jealous can just, ” GO TO HELL”

Jaso says
I bet you look evil yourself they are the best looking dogs in the world hands down you evil lady
agathastravels says
My red nose is 4 and I rescued him when his owner died. I have owned him for a year now and is the most gentle giant and is huge at 90 lbs. Totally looks intimidating but is truly sociable and smart as heck. NOT a fighter dog, and this was after he was rescued by his first owner, who in turn rescued him from a hellish life when he was 6 months. The idiot who owned him as a pup beat him and tried to break his spirit and broke his leg. When he gave up on him he deserted him on a street. These are anything but devil dogs, and my dog is proof that he is full of love. He truly lives a life of luxury now in every sense of the word.
Drew says
My red nose pit-bull rescue (Neesa), and she is the sweetest, smartest, and gentle baby girl I have ever had! My partner and I rescued her from a kill shelter, and almost lost her due not getting proper treatment at the shelter where she picked up kennel cough that turned into double pneumonia, worms, and skin infection.
We had to keep her in 24hr emergency care the first week on strong antibiotic, (“Bayteil,” the equivalent to “Cipro” for humans) oxygen, and breathing treatments, nevertheless, with a lot of care, love and attention she pulled through.
Unfortunately, like us, the pneumonia and antibiotics have there side effects; when playing hard and running at the dog park, her growth was effected and could have joint issue from the such a strong antibiotic at a young age.
All in All, she is a wonderful loving baby girl, gentle, loves kids and people in general. She rather play with kids or people run and play with other dogs at the park.
” IT’S REALLY SAD HOW MANY IGNORANT, HATEFUL, AND CRUEL PEOPLE HAVE ***LABELED and given *** “PIT-BULL’S*** a ***BAD-RAP.” I was one of those people who just thought PIT-BULLS were aggressive in general, however, after adopting my baby, and “I DID MY OWN RESEARCH,” which did not include hate sites, I found that all the bad raps come from people who don’t think on their own nor does research, and the “Only” aggressive dogs, I FOUND IN ANY BREED, the dogs that are aggressive, NOT JUST PIT BULLS, was due to the OWNER ABUSE….”KEY-WORD****OWNER****!!!
Unfortunately, like any other powerful animal, tamed or wild, they have the ability to do damage or even kill when all they know is that PEOPLE hurt them and they are protecting themselves just like women or men would do in an abusive relationship.

Good on you saving em! Did any of em have white around their eyes? If so did the colour change as they grew up?? Super cute ?❤?

amy albright and don you guys are the most ignorant people i ever heard.. why are you on this page anyway if you hate on pitbulls??? really are you that bored that you go onto dog pages you dont like lol??? i dont go on chiuaua pages and talk crap when i sure as heck could. pitbullls deserve to be in the world more then you two amy ..why? cause they dont discriminate or have hatred like you and don.. your made for each other.. BYEE
DREW says
I agree Ryan! Don and Amy Albright are “IGNORANT AND HATEFUL PEOPLE TOWRDS PIT BREED”
zita says
I wonder how you look like?
Sandi says
If you ever had one you would quickly change your mind. They are always smiling and happy and love to play. Our Red Nosed Alligator Pit looks at you with those big gold eyes and melts your heart and the only way she might hurt you is with that constantly wagging tail.
Cally Phillips says
I had a server fear of dogs due to being bit as a child, my partner wanted a dog and he had talked me into getting a puppy. He walked through the door with a red nose pit bull pup and my jaw dropped, the safety of me and my 5 year old had me in a panic……turns out he was the most loyal and loving dog i had ever seen and my girl and i can play, cuddle and and run around with him and all he does is love and protect us. I now know it is not the breed that makes a dog evil it the the owners that do not treat them right that give pitt bulls a bad rep.

You, Amy Albright are uneducated about Pit Bulls. I own a Pit Bull and she is the best dog I have ever own and she is fantastic around my two year old.
Camille says
That is ridiculous, what an asinine statement! You obviously know nothing about these dogs. Mine is the sweetest dog I have. Nothing “evil” about him at all!!
Mark Anderson says
I am glad to see that there are so many mentally handicapped people with access to a computer. You should probably use your time on the internet to educate yourselves. Pitbulls were created, bread to be aggressive, to fight to the death. try a google search of people that have been killed by pitbulls. It is sickening. IT IS SICKENING. I wish it were possible for me to post photos here. I would show you what a pitbull did to me. I am a service electrician. I was called to a residence to do some electrical repairs. I rang the doorbell, AND WAS SAVAGELY ATTACKED! i spent a week in the hospital. i was the third person that this pitbull attacked. The dog also attacked the mailman and a plumber. But the owner proclaimed that her dog was an angel. The pitbull breed should be annihilated. If one human being loses their life to a pitbull it is too many. Do a google search and see how many people have been killed by pitbulls, let alone the the number of attacks.
Reuben says
Come on, I have a red nose pit ridge back cross, he is the sweetest, I also have an American Stafordshire, such sweet bully breeds. Wouldn’t have anything else.

Rey Saplala says
Amy .. yes, they look evil – like the devil (from a distance) but when you hug the dog and hold them close to you, that “evil” look disappears and replaced with the face of a loving dog. I recently adopted a red nose pit bull. I hated her at first as she really was a “wrecking crew” but as the days past and constant watch, she’s beginning to behave like my other 2 older dogs (mix breed American bull dog and a Labrador retriever). Crate training is an effective way to curve that destructive habit. Hope this helps
Kay says
What???? I have red nose pitbulls and i bet they are more beautiful inside and than you chatting doo doo
Virginia Varney says
You are really evil like the devil for even making this comment!
ABYNEI says
you idiot
ABYNEI says
honestly, people like you deserve to get attacked
Kendra Hite says
How dare you I have a red nose, blue bullies mixed and he is as sweet as can be. He gets along with all children my 3 year old niece loves him and he loves her more then she loves him. He does everything with her. Pit bulls are only demean if you train them to be. And for any dog fighters and abusers, all y’all need to go to hell.
Ace_G says
no such things as an inherently evil breed
Eric Moss says
I have two reds, 1yr and 11months, had forties all my life. These pits are the best family/kid friends ever. You have proved your ignorance and lack of education by your poor choice in comments. People like you perpetuate the lie that these dogs are “evil” Grow up and stick to poodles.
redwoodrebelgirl says
Wow.
If you are willing to designate an animal as “evil” based on his/her looks, I hope that you will avoid bringing any animals into your life.
You have demonstrated a truly shallow, ugly, immature, & reprehensible way of being & acting in this world.
I hope that you grow up & gain some insight, depth, wisdom, intelligence, discernment & perspective.
Please stay far away from dogs–especially beautiful red-nosed pitt-bulls.
My red-nosed pit is the sweetest, most gentle, loyal, loving, empathetic, devoted, beautiful animal I have ever been blessed to encounter.
And, although you hardly seem worthy of the kindness & affection of a being as sweet, & as gentle, & pure of heart & Spirit as my wonderful red-nosed pit-bull, he would be affectionate & loving & sweet to you anyway–because he is noble & gentle & pure. Qualities that you probably wouldn’t even recognize if they licked you sweetly in the face.
Please–for the love of God!–do not bring any dogs or children into your miserable life.
Attitudes like yours only degrade & destroy.
Carly Restrepo says
I love my red nose furbaby he’s the cutest thing ever !!! I grew up with pits and they were always big mushers! Had a lab pointer mix and had to return him wound up biting my husband. But not my pit never got aggressive like that!
Charlene Lindridge says
Thier farts are more devlish
Emma says
And you need to learn not to judge a book by its cover. These dogs are the sweetest creatures ever. I have never met an aggressive pitbull in my whole life. Before you judge things you should get to know one first then say what you think.
Macy says
Agreed
Berry says
I have red nose pit end he is so lovely end good end you can’t judge the pit if you did not get to own one ore atlases’ to pet one u will love them
unanamous says
your a complete moron!!
dick says
pits are sooooooooooooooooooooo cute
Laura says
I have one of these dogs and she sleeps in the same bed as my Staffordshire Bull Terrier, she is the most loving and beautiful dog.
Bob says
I had many dogs (Kangal, Bull Terrier, ..), and my red nose pitbull is the most friendly and lovely dog i have never had.
I love my pitbull
tracey says
Love your comment!
Macy says
Agreed
JOHN CALVO JR says
Lovable…caring…and playful…the red nose pit bull just wants love and attention like all of us…the best dog we have ever had
lawny caracci says
We are on our 3rd pit bull as part of our family. Bailey, Buddy and now Buster. All rescue dogs and all have been nothing but our best friend, loving and yes protective to their owners but have NEVER even came close to harming anyone, or even another animal. Bailey and Buddy have passed away, but the most loving dogs till their last breath. Lawny
jeffhardy says
I have a red nose pit and doberman pincsher and the pit was so rough with other dogs it actually attacked a golden retriver once, but that was before i trained it so you can’t say they are nice
Tom Frost says
Well, they are nice. Any animal can attack another. Your bias is why pits get a bad rap and get put down so quickly at shelters. Not a valid point, Jeff.
Jessica Henderson says
Okay, I was growled at by a pitbull, i was right beside its muzzle. and quess what, she didnt bit me! she only growled. she thought i would hurt my mum, who the pitbull was really close to. but she never bit me. I could pull Sky’s tail, and she wouldnt turn around and bite me, i Could hand some meat to her and i’ve known quite a few dogs who would grab at the food, but Sky would delicately grab the food making sure she didnt grab my fingers. She would let me put my hand in her food bowl, and she would not bite me. I’ve been bitten by plenty of dogs in my 16 years of my life. Pitbulls often refuse to participate in fights, and guess what would happen to them. they would get so much punishment for doing that. read the facts before you ever think they are not the type of dogs to be trusted.
tracey says
I am the proud owner of a beautiful red nosed pit, she is such a sensitive, gentle and loving dog, but yes she also is very protective of her loved ones. I think they are such handsome dogs and when my girl smiles she lights up my life! its sad that people cant get past the media propaganda and actually get to know what beautiful dogs pittys can be, its not dangerous dogs its dangerous owners that have given our babies a bad rap!
Randyh says
Our family has a red nose/American bull and is the biggest baby(130 lb) to ever walk,never aggressive even when other “nice” breeds confront him.to own a bully is to love a bully
Ace_G says
dont imply tht oher breed are nasty. no such thing as an evil breed
Marie DeStarrette says
I have a one year old PitBull named Mase, he’s the absolute love of my life. In fact it might even be fair to say that I hadn’t truly understood unconditional love before he came into my life, I thought I had, of course. It’s as if his every action is driven by the most pure, innocent curiosity, or his devotion to being my true and loyal, ever-loving companion always by my side or at my feet. Not a moment with him goes by, not a thing takes place, nor a person arrives without him first looking to me to be sure I’m happy with what he’s doing and how he handles each situation. Training him was delightful because more than anything else in the world, he wants to be a good boy and make me happy. In fact he so much loves when I laugh, that he’s found ways to make me laugh all on his own initiative. He’ll charge up to me then jump to the side and playfully leap over me at the last second when I’m sitting down, to nuzzle his nose right up to my ear. Then he’ll just freeze and breath in and out right beside my ear… All the while I’m trying to dodge what I know is coming as he sits there all regal and statuesque using my ear as a snorkel or something… Then out of nowhere it’s as if he bursts with a shower of kisses always being sure to sneak in at least one wet Willy smooch right on my ear. All the while I’m squealing with laughter and delight in how well planned this attack of sillyness is. He wags his tail with such fervor and so evidently enjoys my amusement that I doubt I’ll ever have the heart to stop him, even though it’s super weird! It’s just so funny to me, that he tries to make me laugh, I never imagined a dog could have feelings and motives so complex.
JR says
I absolutely love how you describe the love between you and you pitty! I just lost my beautiful 5 yr old pitbull Lily to cancer and reading your post gave me an emotional response I can’t quite put into words. Thank you for putting your eloquent comment out there.
Samantha says
To Marie, This has broken my heart, for I am also convinced that Pits can zoom in & appreciate moods like no other, our 14 year old half Pit half Presa Canaria will cry like a baby if she hears us laughing & if she can’t join us. She can now barely get up unaided, but will drag herself across the floor to us if we (my daughter & I burst out laughing). When she was a pup she found my daughter would laugh like a fool if she (Champi) picked up a sock (only used would do) & taunted my daughter with it, even now, 14 years on, no sock is safe, all for her desire to see our faces. If I have a siesta on the sofa I will often wake to find her nose an inch away from my shoulder, eyes wide open just waiting for me to wake, the first time this happened I almost had a heart attack, I have pretended to be sleep for up to half an hour just to see if she will move & she does not budge, I have just picked out a new Pit puppy, & if he only has half the character of champi I will be thrilled.
Drew says
Marie DeStarrette, I have a very similar experience my self. My baby love to push her way into the bathroom while taking care of business, and tries to jump into my lap and lightly sockel/ lightly nibble on my ear lobe, and love to sneak in a wet willie when I lay on the floor to play and cuddle, however she is protective of her owners. Our red nose (neesa) does not even like if we raise our voice with one another and will get between my partner and I barking in protest protest.
Drew
Candace says
I own a 10 week old red nose her name is Nemesis she is one of the best pits I have owned, people r to quick to judge she luvs Mt kids and would never hurt one of them….people r just ignorent! I have also owned a blue nose and a bull terrier…I have not had a bad bully yet!
Onda says
I am also an owner of a beautiful red nosed named Maximus. Couldn’t be happier with his temperament and disposition. We are looking forward to obedience classes which I think is super important. I should mention we have a Chihuahua/Pomeranian too. And all is well in the world with the two of them getting along.
Teresa Sims says
Lol really? Wow! Well you should of trained your pit before it attacked. Any dog can be aggressive it’s all in how they are raised!!!
jackko says
mine passed away , will love him forever, people who don`t know what a friend is don`t have a rednose
Colin says
*You’re. Irony huh?
Guadalupe Ruiz says
My rednose pit was my best friend but I regret never socializing him when he was a pup. He was overly protective of me and my house..I MISS HIM DEARLY, R.I.P. CHOPPER.
Me says
The American Pit bull Terrier is not a “bully”dog. A “bully” is a mutt, APBT bred with generally the English Bulldog. Which leads to a painful life usually because of short legs and large body. But yes, my red nose APBT is loyal and a lover. Best dog ever!
jade and grayson sharp says
RED NOSE PIT ; PATTYCAKE, my sugar muffin was a year and a half when we got her. She loved popcorn and catching it in her mouth when u toss it. She hated kids, its the only time I saw the ugly face, Kids get near the car shed show her teeth and growl if they didn’t back off.We kept her away from kids for this reason. She loved swimming, and was smart and sweet, Iams green bag is what we fed her. She was 12.5 when she passed just june3rd, of cushings desease. I miss her so much, we did everything together, she was so smart, she knew where we would go, shed spout out when wed get near a favorite lake or firehydrants at Walmart, 3 of them, freedom and shell gas station for beef jerky.to know her was to love her. I sure did. Jade Sharp central Oregon
John Millard says
I hope you find a new red- nosed Pitt .I’ve had one for five years and she always sleeps with me in my bed. She is a great watchdog. Her birthday is April 16th, 2012
Lizt says
My boy Tana will be 8 yrs old in November and he is soooo beautiful, WE LOVE OUR PITTY. He has so many sides to his personality – he’s goofy, mischief, cheeky, sooky, smoochy, no ears, very very clever boy. But he is also protective, weary of strangers and an excellent guard dog, omg when he ‘strikes his on guard’ pose he is so convincing but our 16 yr old burmese cat is more vicious then our boy lol. We have 8 grandchildren who move around him freely and as far as Tana is concerned he is one of the kids. He plays with them, smooches them to death and sleeps among them on sleep overs and he obviously has his favorites. When the kids where babies Tana helped with baby sitting, seriously he’d sit by while they slept, watching when they started crawling and panicked when they started walking around, that so funny. When he gets a growling he wanders off like ‘what did i do’ and i’ll tease him like ‘really?? Tana’ and he literally beams a huge smile on his face, goes all sheepish and does the whole paw over the eyes thing, CUTE and cracks me up. Strangers are frightened of him because of his breed and he plays on it lol. He is a great watched dog for the entire neighbour hood, unlike the rest of the dogs down the street, Tana only barks to alert us all of strangers loitering down our street, he gives off a couple of quiet barks and if they do not move on he goes full on, top of his vocals until we quite him down. So to the haters…dont jugde the breed, get one and rise it or just SHUT UP!
linn says
It’s funny how it took one person the speak their opinion, wether true or not and everybody has to talk so hateful.. seriously!! And yes I have a red nose an he is great.. not everybody likes the same breed as I do an that’s fine.. I’m not going to get all bent outta shape about it .
Deb says
I have a 6 year old Red Nose, she is such a living doll. My daughter brought her home and I said, “what is that”.. Unfortunatley they post strong looking creepy dogs, which some pit bulls look like. Mine is an angel.. I adore her like my two sweet Lab”s. A lab and a pitt can have the same temperament. In fact my pitt is sweeter then my lab. She is a love bug.
jade sharp says
The end of the trail came for my PATTYCAKE on june 3rd. Patty was my SUGAR MUFFIN, she died of cushings desease, hyper thyroidism and diabetes. We fed her old roy and purina the first half of her life and green bag iams the second half. I miss her a lot. She went from 94 pounds in april, when she was diagnosed, and shrunk like a bag of bones, she died in my arms at 220 in the afternoon. she was creamated and now shees in a box.12.5 years old.she was never sick, she hated kids and was afraid of them. she was a very happy dog and went with us everywhere, iams isn’t that expensive, but its worth it.
T.K.L. says
whoever said these dogs are bad or “devils” your an idiot because I owned 6 red nose pit bulls at once and they were excellent dogs.
Lizt says
aren’t they? they just a beautiful, loyal and entertaining breed. im on this site because im away from the family at the mo and i miss my boy and i love reading about other pitty owners who love and cherish their pittys.
jill still says
jade, im sorry to read that your dog passed away,my two are still missing,i miss them everyday. I sang to mine..”Just till the gate closes, holding them on leash or still till the automatic gate closed behind us,then they were free to run! Someone let them out the gate, they havent come back!
jadie sharp says
THERES SOMETHING WRONG…YOUR DOGS WOULD COME BACK TO YOU IF THEY COULD…SOME ONE HAS THEM ANIMAL CONTROL ETC, ID CALL A PHYCHIC…THATS HOW WE FOUND OUR…SOME ONE LOCKED THEM IN A SHED, FAR FROM HOME…we left a recipe card on a bulletin board met a gal who told us here neighbor locked them up,and they got out, so they were lost…and pretty far fromhome. attempted theft. 3 weeks they were gone.

i got a 5 week old red little boy,toe nails too.abandoded in detroit. i love him
Julie Seiger says
So true! I’ve never had a Pitbull and I got my Red Nose Maple and White,RAJ, as an 11 month rescue dog- he loves our cat, he loves our German Shepherd (from Hungarian showlines) (older brother- terrific companion for him) and they are great breeds together- both super protective, smart, energetic and the 54 lb Pitbull can hold his own against the 90 lb GSD, Khiero. Raj sits on my feet facing outwards to attack any predator that may come into our living room, lol. He learned all our dog rules/tricks from our GSD within a week- he loves to be a good puppy. All his instincts, however, are bad, lol- he wants to tear stuff apart oh yeah- but if you tell him know he corrects the behavior- but by do they love to chew and they are damn good at it with those sharp teeth! Anyway, Raj loves babies, is gentle with his mouth and is a TOTAL CUDDLEBUG!!!!!!! I LOVE how he cuddles next to me every night and nibbles my earlobe! They watch everything very thoughtfully with the gorgeous moon eyes. So strong and smart! Our German Shepherd posts at our front door…. This little one is at my feet or by my side- also being protecting, of course. So fricking wonderful… such a dog is one of the GREAT JOYS OF LIFE! Seriously, the two make my life complete…. and I’m safe as can be everywhere we go! LOVE this breed – my first Red Nose!!!
Lynn says
I have had a Red nose for about 10yrs and he just past away 9-20-16. He was the BEST freaking dog I’ve ever had. Never aggressive and loved to be in the middle of company because he loved attention. He was my guard dog and my exercise partner. I truly miss my sweet boy. Pitbulls get a bad wrap and that’s unfortunate.
catlover4doglover1 says
Can anybody give me some advice. My husband and I recently took in a stray white pit bull with a red nose and she attacked our 18.5 year old cat twice and attacked our baby cat as well. Both cats did not provoke the attack. According to the vet, she is 10 years old. She is intact and has heart worm. We have on other dog who is a lab mix and a happy go lucky dog who gets along with the cats. Our 5 cats love our lab. Otherwise, she is sweet and affectionate towards us and our lab but I am afraid she will either severely injure or kill our elderly cat or the baby. Lily does not seem to bother with the other 3 cats. I am very concerned because we want to give Lily a chance of a loving caring home but I will not tolerate her going after the two cats. What can I do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Ace_G says
mean dog. nothin to do with the breed tho
Susan Campfield says
I have a 15 year old red nose who has always been a great dog loving loyal faithful very very calm have never seen her aggressive toward anyone or anything. Don’t judge a breed by what you think or have heard they are what the person who has raised to be if they are taught love then they show love in return
jabulani says
really nice dogs
Angelica says
Maybe you should have trained your dog properly. You just said that was BEFORE you trained it. I blame you, not the dog for attacking a golden.
Bobbi Brown says
I have a Red Nose,Lab mix 10 mo old and he is going through training to be my disability service dog. What a loving,caring beautiful family member he is. NOT A EVIL BONE IN HIS BODY.

Nik says
Fuuuuuuuck what beautiful creatures they are ??
Kodi says
About 8 months ago I purchased two purebred American Pitbull Terriers. Know that I have always had a heart for these misunderstood canines. I don’t know why I HAD to have them but I begged my mom to let me get them, and I didn’t stop until I got them. Obviously, I made the best decision of my life picking out my puppies. I have a female Red Nose and a male of the black coat color. Now, most of the time, I see the males be more hyper and playful but I believe my pups have switched roles. Dixie is the most hyper and lovable creature ever. Diesel is so laid back and quiet that sometimes I have to go and find him just to make sure he’s okay! Now, its 8 months later and I don’t regret spending a single dime on my babies. They follow me everywhere, to the barn, the mailbox, the kitchen. I didn’t have to harness train them due to their willingness to constantly be with me. Honestly, I heard so many bad stories about Pits when I younger that I almost changed my mind. I’m glad I gave them a chance, they deserve it. Every single Pitbull deserves a chance. They aren’t bad dogs, just misunderstood.
Jose Alfaro says
Any dog big enough wether threatened or trained aggressive will hurt or “maul” someone to death. People need to understand that its all about the people that the dog has interacted with in life. When a dog bites its the owners fault, because you set the dog up for failure by letting them out of your sight or not putting in the time to achieve a well mannered dog. ALL DOGS OBEY THEIR MASTERS IF YOU CANT CONTROL YOUR DOG YOU ARE A BITCH IN HIS OR HER EYES.. Stop judging the breed my pit bull is a chocolate red nose apbt… Love your pets! Death to all those that train aggressive dogs/pit bulls for fighting purposes.
Dick williams says
3 yr old female red nose. This dog never ceases to amaze me, totally loving, smart and loyal. This girl will protect her pack but have never seen any sign of aggression. Other dogs or cats don’t bother her, she enjoys their company. I am amazed daily by her intelligence and her love for her people. I have had several dogs and at age 72 this’s member of my family is the best ever.
cody says
its stupid he only says that because people have clipped there ears
Pitbull mom says
Love my pitty pups I have an 6 month old Red nose American pitbull terrier cross Staffordshire terrier and an 8 week old red nose Pitbull puppy, and no they are not my first pitbull the bred is so gentle and loveable
Kimberly Hendricks says
We have a red note white and brindle boy who is our pride and joy. He is the sweetest baby and nothing evil about him…like previous poster’s have said, a Chihuahua is meaner.
cathey says
we have a pretty red nose who is 14 years old! She has always been a great dog. Maybe
Amy or someone she knows had a bad experience with a dog. You never know but it’s good to hear a lot of positive support for pit bulls.
Rocky&Tu... says
First of ALL……People who watch to much TV and listen to the News hear what they want to hear…and make assumption of what they think they know….and SO unless U OWN one U dont know……2nd……the OWNER….how they TREAT their PITBULL is how it will behave…..so please why get into long conversations with IDIOTS who dont know waste your time..
Jane says
I am experiencing my first pit. She’s a rescue, red nose. I’ve had her just over 2 years and got her when she was 2. Belle is the most loyal, loving devoted snuggle bug ever. She loves my 5 year old grandson and gets the biggest smile when she sees him coming up the sidewalk. She’s gentle and always very careful not to hurt anyone. I also have a 91 lb. Border Collie that’s terrified of storms. She immediately goes to comfort him by snuggling up behind him and putting her legs over him. Tell me that’s not a smart kind & loving dog !
Nepps says
I adopted one from the pound, and now he is my best friend. He is a red nose with yellow eyes and I would not sell him for any price. As a matter of fact, I now want a pup just like him to raise from a baby so I can always have one in my lie. . He is very special to me.
Donald Black (@therealwon) says
Just saved one from a puppy mill. She was so sick that she couldn’t hold her head up. Now she is bouncing around the house and slowly putting weight on. I am thankful to you all for your comments. I to am ignorant to the breed and am giving it a chance. She is around 4 other dogs two rabbits and a cat all rescues. Have had no problems and can see the affection for us. Not sure if I’m going to be able to keep her but every dog deserves a fighting chance.
Charles says
chalo
everbody seem to own a pitbull(bondle of joy)..i also want one..ive bn looking all over for a puppy…pls hook me up
Mike and linda says
I have the best bull dog he is absolutely amazing he is six years old trained by all hand signals loves kids babies even loves our cat never showed aggression behavior unless given the command and when he is told to break instant with no hesitation I love my family dog he even yells love u so I would love to share my experience with my best friend and family member with the world
Vicky says
I rescued a red nose pit bull 11 years ago I already had a Shepherd and a Rotty, her eyes were baby blue bright as can be. She was my everything along w my other dogs. She slept under the blankets w me at bedtime, she smiled so big when I came ho.e from work, she was the bestest dog ever. Her name is BabyGirl. She went to doggy heaven March 29, 2015. I am still having a very hard time without her. I also lost my other 2 dogs. Needless to say they all 3 were and always will be the Loves of my Heart. I now have 4 PitBull Akita mix brother and sisters who I raised since 3 days old they are 2 1/2 years now. I Love them so much but can never replace the Love my BabyGirl had given me. So don’t knock these beautiful animals when you know nothing of the real animal they truly are!!
Ricky says
We had a Chihuahua d she tore my son’s face up for no reason at all, she also bit his face and got a good chunk of his lip, he’s autistic. My Pitt hasn’t hurt him once, she actually loves to snuggle him and love on him. Needless to say the chihuahua has a new home not with us, my Pitt is home with us.
Ace_G says
chihuahuas are not inherently nasty. no breed is inherently nasty.
misty says
im going to pick up a red pitt friday that just showed up at a guys house and never left so after seeing pics of him i couldnt resist his face nobody has any history on him the guy said hes very sweet. i am a little worried cause they said he looks like he is prolly like a year old already. but im hoping with enough loved showed we can provide him a good home and in return he will be a great addition to our family
Amanda says
Hi. Just had to put my two cents in. I dont own a pit bull of any type but have friends that do. One is a red nose that came from a bad life but she is as sweet as can be. I will say tho that i have a apple head chihuahua f rescued and will lets say she bosses my big dog around and is nasty to little kids. She went after one of my girl friends small children once and tryed to bite but we got her in time now i just put her in a bed room if small children come over. She does not like them but other wise she is a sweet heart. All i can say is thank god she is small.
Kikyo says
I have a red nose she is the sweetest dog ever
Me and my kids wouldn’t change her 4 the
world.
eddie says
if you dont like them then dont look at them or comment on them.
Tracii Blanton says
We just got our sweet little girl Harley. She’s a red nose/colby mix. She’s4 months old & the sweetest animal I’ve EVER seen! She loves to cuddle, give kisses, sleep in the bed with us (cuddled as close as possible lol). Just all around great animal. Any dog can be raised to be viscious or raised to be sweet. It’s up to their human. Amy don’t judge a book by it’s cover. You wouldn’t want someone to judge you & seal your fate based on your appearance would you?
Mary E Schmidt says
Why are all comments out of order? Confusing!
Mary E Schmidt says
Why are all the comments in strange order? Jumping from 2017 to 2016 and back to 2017? I get confused cause they are not in order….
Ace_G says
temperment is raised not bred (sorry if i spelled it wrong)
Megan Zupanic says
I had the pleasure of knowing a big, beautiful red nose pitbull, name of “Tiny”. We took care of him over the past 2 years while his owner was sick.
I love all dogs but had never known any pitbulls until him. I was cautious when I met him, but he turned out to be the sweetest, most calm, sensitive, and caring dog I have ever known. When I broke my arm and came out of surgery he was waiting for me in the car when my husband drove me home. He could tell I was in pain and scared and he comforted me. He would also put himself between me and any perceived threats, without being super aggressive…just staring, like try it and see what happens! He loved to kiss and cuddle and he slept with us in our bed. And while this may freak some people out or make some people say I am stupid I would put steak in my mouth and he would take it very gently like a baby bird. I love that dog and miss him every day.
boss says
scourge of the animal world should be banned as well as its owners.
alano says
personally the bull terrier is one of the best dogs existing then the one who criticizes its existance and or race who go to be fucked because if the person (s) want to banish and although he banished me me too because at this time it is not the dog that will bite it’s me the dog has fangs yes but me too and the bull terrier is one of the breeds very badly considered is very poorly recognized in making nicknames to breeds like american bully, boston-terrier, american, english staff, reno / nevada bull ….. and this has been going on for over 30 years and if it’s not some fucking offices that put shit, are some other very shitty ones who put shit in the dog
Shannon says
Pitbulls never had an aggressive nature. They used to be called “Nanny dogs.”
I have known people who breed dogs to fight, and they must go to extremes, in order to manufacture and extract aggression from this breed. It is not by careful breeding that their “evil” was removed, but by torture at the hands of humans that their spirits are broken and they are filled with terror/rage. The same methods would work on any breed or species, including you or me.
Please, don’t perpetuate this ignorance, under the guise of education. That makes me sick!
Scott says
I have owned a number of breeds of dogs and a Blue Nose was the first pitbull I ever owned. By 11 weeks she didn’t need a leash would walk by my side and sit when I stopped. She had Parvo and passed I wanted to hurt the breeder it was his fault. But anyways on to happier times I just bought a Red nose mixed with American Staffodshire she is great more intelligent then most would imagine. I was a letter carrier for 12 years by FAR CHIuahaS ARE THE MOST AGGRESSIVE BREED IVE YET TO MEET A NICE ONE!! I worked in some pretty tough neighborhoods in Boston and even the most aggressive dogs loved me it would take about 2 weeks of giving treats to ” attack dogs” such a Rottis and so on before they greeted me wagging there tales or stumps in this case. The most impressive dog I met was a Old English Mastiff 260lbs by impressive I mean size and calmness of the dog. I never once got threatened or attacked by a pit the only time I was bit was by a dog come on guess what kind…… BINGO A CHIUAHA!!!

I’ve had a red nose pit for 9 years since she was a puppy, she’s an absolute angel. She has such a sweet, silly personality.. truly a blessing to have her. Lol @ they look like the “devil” comment, it’s quite the opposite

My husband and I have had many dogs over our 48 married years, Rotties, Bull Mastiffs, Jack Russell Terriers, and many mutts. When my Rottie Otis had a sudden seizure and died at 4 years old in June, we said “That’s it, no more dogs”. My daughter is a vet tech working at a hospital in Manhattan and she sent over a pic of a puppy that was found running around Central Park. She was covered in dirt and sticky from who knows what, but a stranger was able to get her and take her to the hospital. As soon as I saw a picture of her, I said “I want her!”. She’s 8 months old now and is the most loving, sweetest girl we’ve ever had, my first red-nosed Pitbull. If you try to pet her, she’s on her back, wanting a belly rub. She knows her basic commands (sit, stay, down, leave it), she does have accidents in the house once and a while, but all in all, I’ve never had a sweeter girl. Moral of the story is this…if you train any dog to be aggressive, that’s how they’ll be, but loving them and taking care of them produces a great dog. I feel bad when people cross the street to avoid us, they’re missing out on a friendly face wash by my girl and they might learn something else, they may have a bad rep, but be open and you’ll change your mind, guaranteed.

Anyone that thinks red nose pit bulls are evil looking and evil dogs really do not know anything about these dogs and should not make a comment on what they don’t know about. I have just lost my red nose pit bull I had her for 12yrs and rescued her from an evil piece of human that was training her for fighting she was in such a bad state when I got her and I had a year old rotti when our baby came I to out life’s. She was the most loyal loving dog I have ever had and from when I was very young have had a lot of dogs. It took me over a year to bring my baby to a good health she was great with my grandchildren and she is so deeply missed. I am lucky as she did have puppies and I did keep one of them so I still have a part of her with me but she will always be with me in heart. It is humans that are evil by training dogs to fight human beings are the worst animals around. Even in the wild animals kill for survival humans make money out of fighting dogs, humans kill each other for money, for drugs, over women, over oil over religion do I need to go on. So people think about what you say about our 4 legged friends. Especially ones that are given bad names because of vile human beings that own them
