Chicago: A Perfect Place for Pitbulls

American Pitbulls possess a charm unrivaled by any other breed. This charm led the strong, able-bodied Pitbull from its original purpose, baiting bulls, to the farm as a working dog. Once on the farm, their charm proved irresistible, and they became nanny dogs because of their gentle nature around children.

Pitbulls’ loving nature makes them a great companion for a growing Chicago family. Pits are friendly, affectionate, and protective of their loved ones. Incredibly intelligent, Pitbulls can be easily trained if you can accept a little barking back talk now and then. You can read more about the history and breed attributes of the American Bull Terrier here.

Chicago apartments may be a bit cramped for a Pitbull, so you can supplement activity time for your Pittie by exploring the city’s many dog-friendly places to help them receive the physical stimulation and guidance they need. Norwood Park's Dog-Friendly Area is a popular destination for larger breeds like the Pitbull, because they can run around off leash and get lots of play in.

While Pitbulls have a rough-and-tumble side, they also love to be pampered, and fit right in amongst the toy dogs of the world when it comes to their love of cuddling. If you’d like to take your Pitbull pup to indulge in some luxury, then why not visit Temple of the Dog and Meow Lounge, where an expert, caring staff will groom your dog by appointment.

There is plenty to do in Chicago with your Pitbull, so get out there!
