Pit Bull Mix

John C. MauzeSex is a Pit Bull Mix!

Studies have shown that mixed breed dogs tend to be average in size; but it's necessary to keep the size of the parents in mind when evaluating the eventual size of your puppy!

"Mother Nature" tends to breed for sturdiness, intelligence, playfulness, ability to co-exist with other pets and people and longevity, so we can expect John C to be healthy and sturdy. His short haired coat indicates that he won't need a great deal of grooming or special care

Pit Bull's are very athletic and need a lot of exercise! They are very poor swimmers and have a low tolerance for cold weather.

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 John C. MauzeSex to our practice!
