Breeders wanted to maintain these qualities, especially those in the American Pitbull Terrier, yet at a smaller size more equipped for households rather than farms.
Once in America, these breeds drew attention by their usefulness as well as good temper. Breeders would not choose to use those who displayed aggression to maintain their pleasant personalities. While they were expected to be aggressive as game-working animals, their aggression toward humans was not encouraged. Originally Pitbull Terriers were bred for hunting, specifically for the purpose of capturing and restraining semi-feral livestock. The name is applied to other bull-type breeds, such as the bull terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Today, they are incredibly loyal pets when trained and given the proper mental and physical exercise.Īmerican Pitbulls Terriers were first recognized as a breed in 1898 by the United Kennel Club (UKC). The breed originated in Northern England and was initially not considered to be “companion” dogs because of their usefulness in the field. They are known to be hard-working and possess high energy, and their desire to please their owner is only topped by their desire to hunt. Patterdale Terriers are considered to be one of the last true working terriers of today. Let’s first take a look at the parent breeds of the Pocket Pitbull, the Patterdale Terrier, and the American Pitbull Terrier. They are considered to be a designer breed that is highly sought after. While both parent breeds are considered purebreds, Pocket Pitbulls are not. They are a cross between the American Pitbull Terrier and the Patterdale Terrier. Pocket Pitbulls, also affectionately known as Pitterbulls, Mini Pits, and Pocket Bullies, are a hybrid dog breed.
