Dogs of all breeds have been man's assistants since the beginning of time. Given the natural skill set the Pit Bull has in various areas of service work this gives the Pit Bull an excellent opportunity to provide valuable and needed services in our community as well as debunk many of the common myths associated with the breed. Pit Bulls are currently used and suitable for all types of service work including drug detection, emergency rescue, service and therapy work, military service and much more. Pound for pound the American Pit Bull Terrier ( APBT ) is the strongest breed in existence and has a tenacity to meet its objectives as no other. Because the Pit Bull puts its own interest second to that of its owners the chances of it achieving a task are greater than that of other breeds.
