Pit bulls are often at the center of a lot of controversy, but these pit bull puppy pictures can remind everyone that these dogs start out life much like any other puppy. If they are raised properly and receive early socialization and training, they have the potential to be wonderful family companions, just like any other breed. Enjoy this gallery featuring several pictures of young pits!
Adventuresome and Outgoing
Like nearly any other pup, this blue pit bull puppy has an adventuresome nature and loves to explore their surroundings. They're great travel buddies, whether you're hiking a trail or exploring the city. They'll gladly join you on an adventure just to see what's around the next bend in the road or if there are any puddles to jump into.
Focus on socialization, leash-train early since your pup will get stronger and harder to control on-leash as they get older.
Time for a Nap
Of course, life is not all play for a pit bull pup. Once they have burned out all their energy, it's time to slow down. This little fellow has burrowed under the blankets for their afternoon nap.
Give your pit bull pup lots of love and a ton of enrichment, because these dogs need regular exercise and engagement to stay happy and healthy.
Inquisitive by Nature
Pit bull puppies are also naturally inquisitive, and they want to check out everything within their reach. They're equally comfortable exploring outside and chilling out with you at home.
Life's More Fun with Friends
Everything is more fun when you have a companion to share it with. These two little pit bulls are enjoying some time outdoors together. Who knows what fun they will find next!
Before you adopt two puppies, be sure you're prepared for the work. Dogs are a serious commitment.
Playtime Is Important
Pit bull pups also like to play with their human companions. This cute pittie puppy is taking a break after playing ball. But don't worry, this pup will be ready to go after a few minutes of rest time.
If you play with your pup indoors, don't forget to take them potty after each play session to avoid accidents in the house.
Pit Bull Puppies with Blue Eyes
It's not unusual to have a pit bull puppy with blue eyes. With most breeds of dogs, the eyes can be light to deep blue when they're born. With most dogs, the eyes will darken and change color as they become adults. However, some pit bulls keep their blue eyes into adulthood.
Pits Love Family Time
Those who know pit bull breeds know they're huge on family time. They want to be around everyone when they're well-raised, especially children. And children love making them the center of attention.
Begin socializing your puppy the moment they come home for them to become a well-rounded adult.
On the Lap
Pits are lap dogs. Or at least they think they are. They love to lie down and fall asleep in your lap. Or cuddle on the couch watching TV while you're resting. And they will still be a lap dog when they're adults. But they will be much bigger lap dogs.
Future Potential
What does the future hold in store for this little red nose pit bull? Will he live out his life in the company of a loving family who will provide him with the necessary tools to help him be the best companion he can be? Or will he fall into the hands of some unscrupulous person who will train him to fight for his life and his owner's financial gain? This is the situation all too many young pit bulls face. Hopefully, this little guy will be one of the lucky pups.
Carefully evaluate the breeder to make sure you aren't purchasing a puppy-mill pup.
