It’s a common misconception that there used to be lots of these dogs and then they were completely gone. In reality, what was once the most popular dog in the United States is now an endangered breed. Today, around 50,000 of these dogs live in the U.S. Most of the time, when people ask if a dog is a pit bull, what they really mean is that they are black with a short thick tail and a triangular head.

Since pit bulls were used for all sorts of different purposes, not just fighting, they needed to be hardy. In their natural state, they are completely covered in fur and have a very thick, protective coat. They also had to be able to carry things around, which is why they were bred with jaws that were equipped to close and lock.
