Smokey is a Pit Bull Terrier!
The Staffordshire Terrier is sometimes known as the "Pit Bull" because of its history of being used for bull baiting and dog fighting. Because it was important that the dogs be docile and easily handled - even during a fight, most of these animals have a sweet, trustworthy disposition around their owners.
This strong, agile dog is intelligent and "creative", often stubborn, and may be defensive around other dogs. They need daily mental and physical exercise to prevent them from thinking of mischief!
Despite the short, easily maintained coat, this dog should be considered a housedog because of its low tolerance to weather extremes and its high need for human companionship.
We are pleased to welcome Smokey to our practice!
