Its origins began in 19th-century England, a time when bulldogs and terriers were bred to create strong dogs for bull-baiting. When these activities were banned in 1835, breeders focused on dog fighting.

When these dogs were brought to the US, they were used as working farm dogs. Pit bulls became an essential part of farms, helping owners herd and guard livestock.

Over time, breeders developed these dogs to hold values such as loyalty and companionship. By doing so, these dogs became a favorite among dog lovers, especially those looking for a friend. Today, these energetic dogs have become one of the best choices for people wanting a trustworthy companion and protector.
