About this Guide
In order to help improve adoption success rates, The Essential Pit Bull was written to help educate those involved in selecting, handling, and placing Pit Bulls.
The Essential Pit Bull is an aid for rescues and shelters seeking to choose the best American Pit Bull Terriers (Pit Bulls) for placement into new homes within society. In addition to a step-by-step evaluation, extensive information on Pit Bull temperament is included. The temperament information, perhaps, is the most important aspect of this guide.
What must be made clear is that Pit Bulls do not need a special or unique evaluation; standard temperament evaluations work on Pit Bulls. The Essential Pit Bull is more than anything, meant to be a handbook on unique breed temperament. It describes in detail what the correct, true American Pit Bull Terrier is at its core, then helps the reader apply this knowledge when interpreting temperament evaluation results. The evaluation described herein is one that the author has developed and used almost exclusively on Pit Bulls.
“Pit Bulls”? The correct temperament described herein refers to that of purebred American Pit Bull Terriers (Pit Bulls). The Essential Pit Bull has been written to help shelters and rescues identify and understand temperament correct purebred (or believed to be purebred) Pit Bulls while weeding out those dogs that deviate from the norm. However, shelters and rescues are encouraged to use this guide to help them evaluate Pit Bull mixes and dogs of unknown breed that may be referred to as "pit bull type" dogs. Any dog that may be referred to as a “pit bull type” has a profound impact on the breed as a whole and must be held to the same standards as purebred American Pit Bull Terriers.
