Free Pit Bull Puppies

You’ll see free Pit Bull puppies offered from time to time, but make sure you’re prepared before bringing a Pit Bull puppy into your home.

Pit Bull dogs can make excellent pets, if you’re prepared to understand the breed and pick out the right puppy. You also need to have the right supplies on hand and think about the time and expense required to properly care for a Pit Bull.

About Pit Bulls

When talking about Pit Bulls, we’re usually describing three slightly different dog varieties - the American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Pit Bulls were originally bred to combine the hunting and aggression of terriers with the power and stable personality of bulldogs. This made them excellent farming dogs and also gave them the capacity to excel in dog fights.

Pit Bulls have the capacity to be very gentle or very aggressive. It’s all a matter of how they are raised. If they are raised in a gentle, unthreatening, and caring environment they’ll grow up to be gentle, non-aggressive, and caring. If, on the other hand, they’re raised in an unstable and abusive environment - they might very well turn out to be emotionally unstable and aggressive. This is why it’s a good thing to get a Pit Bull while they’re still a puppy - when you can mold them into exactly the type of dog you’re looking for.

Healthy Pit Bull Puppies

When looking at a litter of pit bull puppies, take your time and examine them all closely. If any puppies look sick, then it might be a good idea to look elsewhere. Even one sick puppy could mean that they’re all sick - the others just might not be showing signs of illness yet. A healthy Pit Bull puppy will have bright, clear eyes. His eyes, ears and nose will be free of mucous (dried or wet). Her coat will be smooth with no bald patches or sores. And she will walk straight, without a limp. Be sure to ask the owner for a medical history on the puppy, including any veterinary records.

Pit Bull Expenses

Although you may be getting a free Pit Bull puppy, you’ll still have expenses. You’ll have to pay for veterinary expenses sooner or later. And you’ll need supplies such as: feeding dishes, food, collar, leash, shampoo, flea and tick products, crate or kennel, etc.

You’ll also need to be prepared to invest the time to walk, train and bond with your new puppy. Pit Bull puppies make wonderful pets if you’re ready for the challenge.
