The first time I saw a pit bull service dog in action was at a grocery store in Austin. Big red-nose boy, calm as a lake, walking next to a woman using a cane. A guy behind me muttered something about it not being a ‘real’ service dog. He was wrong. Pit bulls can absolutely…
My neighbor’s Pitbull once ate an entire rotisserie chicken off the counter in under two minutes. Bones and all. The vet bill was $400. That’s the reality of feeding a dog that’s equal parts muscle and appetite. Finding the best dog food for Pitbulls isn’t about buying whatever’s on sale. This pitbull dog breed burns…
The first week I brought my blue pit home, I scrolled through about thirty pit bull names before anything stuck. Picking the perfect name for your pit is harder than it looks, because pit bulls have a blocky head, a muscled frame, and a personality closer to a goofy toddler than a guard dog. This…
A friend’s Pitbull just turned 15. Fifteen years old. She’s slower now, grayer around the muzzle, and takes her time on stairs. But she still greets everyone at the door like she’s a puppy. That’s the best-case scenario with this breed. The average pitbull lifespan and life expectancy is 12–16 years, longer than many breeds…
The first time I saw a Pitbull Dachshund mix, I thought someone had photoshopped a Pitbull head onto a Dachshund body. Short legs. Broad chest. Muscular build on a low-rider frame. It’s one of the most unusual-looking mixes out there. This crossbreed goes by several names: Pitweenie, Dox-Bull, Doxie-Pit, Pitshund, or simply Pitbull Weiner Dog…
The internet says Pitbulls have a bite force of 235 PSI. Or 300 PSI. Or 1,800 PSI. The numbers change depending on who’s writing and what point they’re trying to make. Here’s the truth: measuring bite force in dogs is complicated. Most numbers circulating online are estimates, not lab measurements. And the pitbull bite isn’t…
I once watched a Staffy and an American Pitbull Terrier meet at a dog park. Same blocky head. Same muscular build. Same loving eyes. To most people, they looked like the same dog. They aren’t. These two breeds – the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the American Pit Bull Terrier – share ancestors but grew up…
If you’re here, it’s presumably because you know all there is to know about English Bulldogs, from their colors to how much they typically cost (their price). You’ve just gotten a puppy and are curious about its eventual size. We can’t say that we’re surprised by your decision to bring home such a cute puppy…
The English Bulldog is a round yet adorable breed. They are kind and humorous and take great delight in being included in a family. It’s essential to keep an eye on your new pet’s development, particularly in the early stages when they’re still tiny with this English bulldog weight chart. This covers how much they…
A friend of mine once messaged me in total shock after walking into a pet shop and seeing the price tag on an English Bulldog puppy, and honestly, I get it. These wrinkly little charmers don’t come cheap. But it’s not just about the initial cost, it’s about understanding what goes into that price, why…
