Unveiling the Origins: The True Purpose of Pit Bulls

Pit bulls were originally bred in the early 19th century in England, Scotland, and Ireland for the cruel and illegal blood sport of bull-baiting, in which the dogs were set upon a tethered bull and expected to attack its face and head.

Today, pit bulls, including the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the American Bully, are popular companion dogs and are known for their loyalty, affection, and playful nature.
