Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). This handsome guy is easy to leash, walks beautifully down the hallway, and checks in with his person like a pro. He appears house trained (a true gentleman â he waits until heâs outside), and heâs calm passing other dogs. On leash, heâs loose, wiggly, and happy to stroll by your side. In a quiet space, Peso really starts to shine. Once heâs had a minute to explore, he becomes affectionate and even a little playful. Heâll politely ask for attention, lean in for more pets when you stop, offer default sits, nose âtouch,â and will even give you a little paw shake. He takes treats gently and is highly food motivated â especially if cheese is involved. (Cheese is a love language.) Peso prefers consent and clear communication. He may feel uncomfortable with close, hovering handling or sudden restraint, but when you go at his pace, heâs thoughtful, cooperative, and incredibly sweet. Heâs the kind of dog who bonds through trust. Give him time, move slowly, and heâll reward you with soft check-ins, gentle treat taking, wiggly walks, and leaning into your hand for just one more pet. Peso doesnât want to be rushed. He wants to be understood. And once youâre on his team? Heâs all in.

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.
