A healthy Pit Bull is a happy Pit Bull.
Pit Bulls are energetic and need plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation to stay out of trouble. They're highly trainable and food-motivated, and gentle-jaw training early on goes a long way. Despite the breed's reputation, they're not recognized by the AKC – but Pumpkin doesn't restrict coverage by breed.
