2. friendly ball of muscle and teeth
3. Here: http://www.ukcdogs.com/WebSite.nsf/e63329fac2fcceaa8525735c0061eb4d/4645dc79ede77b4e852574b10060ded0?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,Pit The Pits that you see with the huge heads and overly muscular bodies, low to the ground... etc. are not at all breed standard.
4. Its usually the triangular shape of the head, and the lean figure.
5. They are sort of short, stocky. Their legs are stubby, their heads are wide as are their mouths. Dr. Dog
6. Shorter snout, muscular body.
7. The Pit Bull immediately strikes one as being a dog of power, passion, and undying willingness. The brick-like head, which is especially broad between the cheeks (to house the powerful jaws), is carried upon a thickly muscled, well-defined neck. The neck runs into a deep, thick, well-sprung chest. The American Pit Bull is a very muscular, stocky, yet agile dog which is extremely strong for his size. The eyes are round, and any color is acceptable. The teeth should form a scissors bite. Its coat is made up of thick, short, shiny hair. All colors are admissible. The tail tapers to a point. 18-22 inches in height and on average weigh around 35-55lbs.
