The APBT is not a dog for everybody. It is a dog for the purist, for a dog lover prepared to spend time, patience, energy and attention on a dog that can drive you to distraction but can repay you in loyalty, obedience and affection in a way no other dog of other breeds can. The ban on importation limits the gene pool and it is difficult to find good APBTs locally. I tried but in the end settled for an APBT crossbreed. She is still young but shows good promise. Thai origin pitbulls are available but are mainly of the fighting line and very animal aggressive. The males are extremely competitive and do not mix well with other dogs, they always want to be #1, the alpha dog. If not well exercised, they can be destructive. If not well socialized, they will bark incessantly at all other passing dogs and animals. Your neighbors will hate you. Still want a pit bull terrier? Think 10 times again.
