Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). #playful #balls #stuffies #treats #water #softmouth #athletic #basic commands Murphy is the complete package. He is a great size and is easy to handle. He loves to play. He is smart and loves to choose his own toys, carefully examining each one before making a selection. He gets so focused on playing and he forgets he also loves treats and rushes over to sit politely before using a soft mouth to take what is offered. Murphy also has the cutest expressive kinked tail that he wiggles when he is happy. We think Murphy will be at his best in a moderately active environment with a lot of activity to keep him engaged.

Overview:
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a robust and intelligent breed, originating in the United States from crossbreeding Old English Terriers and Old English Bulldogs for dog-fighting purposes. Physically, they are medium-sized, known for their muscular build, broad heads, and powerful jaws, typically weighing between 30-60 pounds. Their coats are short and come in a wide array of colors. Temperamentally, a well-socialized APBT is often described as loyal, affectionate, and people-oriented, displaying a playful and sometimes clownish demeanor. They can be excellent family companions, provided they receive consistent training and early socialization, though their high energy levels mean they thrive with active owners. While they can adapt to apartment living with sufficient exercise, a house with a secure yard is often preferred. Notable health considerations include a predisposition to hip and elbow dysplasia, allergies, and certain heart conditions.
