2. AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER

Although they’ve had a bad rap for years, what many people do not know is that Pit Bulls are actually excellent family dogs. They are good watchdogs, are great with children; they can definitely tolerate rough play, and when socialized properly as a puppy, are friendly towards strangers, other dogs, and even other species like cats or rabbits.
These strong, muscular dogs have been used in weight-pulling sports, and there is quite a number involved in therapy and guide dog programs. When acquiring a Pit Bull, exercise and socialization are vital in order to raise a balanced and confident dog.
