| HISTORY |
THE AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER IS SAID TO
BE A MAKING OF THE BULLDOG FROM THE BULL
BAITING ERA AND THE TERRIER. IN THE EARLY
1800'S WHEN BULL BAITING WAS FINALLY
FROWNED UPON, THE DOG KNOWN AS THE
AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER BECAME AN
ICON ACROSS THE WORLD. PLACES LIKE
IRELAND, ENGLAND, AND AMERICA MADE THIS
BREED THE KING AND QUEEN OF DOG-ON-DOG
FIGHTING COMPETITIONS. THIS POWERFUL AND
CRUEL ACT OF NATURE WAS STARTED TO SEE
WHO'S DOG HAD THE MOST GO (GAMENESS) TO
BE CONSIDERED THE BEST AT THE SPORT. IN
1898, THE UNITED KENNEL CLUB WAS STARTED
BY A MAN NAMED MR. BENNETT, WHERE THE
AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER WAS FIRST
RECOGNIZED AS BEING A SPECIFIC BREED OF
DOG. SHORTLY AFTER IN 1936, THE AMERICAN
KENNEL CLUB RECOGNIZED THE BREED BUT
CALLED IT THE AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE
TERRIER. LET'S BE REAL, STAFFORDSHIRE IS
WHAT THEY CALLED THE FIGHTING DOG IN THE
OLD DAYS OF ENGLAND. LETS FACE IT, THIS
DOG IS FAMOUS. IT SERVED IN THE WHITE
HOUSE WITH THEODORE ROOSEVELT AND WAS
THE DOG OF WORLD WAR 1.
"I'M NEUTRAL, BUT NOT AFRAID OF ANY OF
THEM"
