Welcome to Pit Bull Community!
We are dedicated to the preservation of the pit bull in its original form as a game-bred dog and in its modern incarnations as a loving companion pet and top competitor in weight pull competitions and conformation shows.
We are opposed to all forms of animal cruelty, and do not promote any illegal activities, but we celebrate the history of the pit bull and value its qualities of courage, strength and tenacity as the essence of the breed.
We are therefore against all forms of breed-specific legislation, and work to protect the constitutional rights of pit bull owners.
If this is your first visit with us, or even if you have been browsing around, we urge you to register and join our community!
Registration is completely free and allows you more access to the site. Once you are a member, you can interact with others and share your experience, knowledge and pictures of your dog!
