They were originally bred to do bull baiting (when a dog grabs a bull by the nose and doesn't let go so that the person castrating a bull doesn't get gored). But then people turned it into a sport where the dog and bull would get into a pit and fight; that's where the name Pit Bull came from. But after that was outlawed they began breeding them to fight each other. Any human-aggressive pits were immediately shot.
Despite their gruesome past and present (in some cases), Pit Bulls can make great pets. They were especially bred not to be aggressive to humans, but can still have animal aggression. With proper training, socialization, and care they can be the most wonderful companions and family members.

∙ 14y agoIt is true that pit bulls were bred for dog fighting and bull baiting which are both illegal now. They were also bred to herd bulls. They were bred for courage and loyalty which are very desirable traits in a family pet. When properly trained by a responsible owner, pit bulls are one of the best family dogs. Today some legal sports that the dogs can participate in are weight-pull, agility, and fly-ball. They also make good service dogs, police dogs, and guide dogs. Most of all, they are GREAT family pets.
