Pitbull History The Source of Pitbull Dogs
Modern day pitbulls, are believed to be decendents of Europen bulldogs, and other related breeds. These dogs were of very powerful mastiffs bred for farm work.
Specifically, these dogs accompanied farmers into the fields to help with catching dangerous bulls in for breeding, castration, or to be butchered.
These dogs, known generally as this cross buldog breed, protected the farmer by subduing the bull if it attempted to gore him. Typically a pitbull would do this by biting the bull on the nose and holding on until the bull submitted.
