Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Edge is a 4-year-old cutie with a big heart and an even bigger love for cuddles. Heâs wonderfully socialâfriendly with both people and other dogsâand the moment you sit down, heâll come running to snuggle up beside you. Edge enjoys an active life and would thrive with someone who can give him regular exercise and outdoor adventures. He loves hikes, playing fetch, and playing with other dogs, but he also knows how to relax and be calm at home. Heâs fully house-trained, well-behaved indoors, doesn't jump on people (although he has springs in his feet at meal time) and has demonstrated excellent manners in his foster home. No counter surfing or destructive chewing! He sticks to his bones and balls and leaves everything else alone. Edge knows how to sit, seems to have a great recall, and while heâs not formally crate-trained, he happily goes into his crate and sleeps there through the night without complaint. If youâre looking for a playful, affectionate companion whoâs equally happy hiking trails or cuddling on the couch, Edge could be your perfect match.

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.
