Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Pit bulls can weigh in at about 50 to 70 lbs. What does their distant cousin, the American bully, weigh?

Answer: About 150 lbs.

American bullies are a variant of the pit bull. They are a mix of American bull terrier and American Staffordshire terriers. They are not pit bulls, but they are easily confused with the breed.

2. What agency started using pit bulls as sniffer dogs in the year 1987?

Answer: US Customs

The US Customs used pit bulls as sniffer dogs because of their great sense of smell and for their high capacity for learning. In the first quarter of the twenty-first century there are several pit bull/pit-mixes in use.

3. In 2020 The American Temperament Testing Society (ATTS) had various breeds tested. Which one of these four had the highest percentage pass rate?

Answer: Belgian Malinois

The American pit bull terrier did NOT have the highest percentage pass rate among these four breeds, but the Belgian Malinois did with 94.1% of the dogs tested passing. The American pit bull terrier scored 87.4%, the Alaskan Malamute scored 84.8%. The bloodhound scored 75.0%, so the American pit bull scored highly on temperament.

4. Why were pit bulls generally not trained as guard dogs?

Answer: They were too friendly

They were indeed not bred to be guard dogs because they were just too nice. They wanted to be man's best friend!

5. Theodore Roosevelt's had a well known dog, widely reported to be a pit bull. What was the dog's name?

Answer: Pete

Pete was a very aggressive dog; he bit a French ambassador, among others. Some sites say Pete was not a pit bull but a bulldog.

6. What is the least common eye color in adult pit bulls?

Answer: Blue

Blue is uncommon because of the lack of tyrosinase. Tyrosinase contains copper and it also catalyzes quinones from phenols and polyphenols so the eye turns blue in animals which have this enzyme.

7. What is the most rare nose color on a pit bull?

Answer: Blue

Blue nosed pit bulls are indeed more rare than your average black nosed pit- bull. Your chances of having a blue nosed pit bull are low, but there's no difference between blue nose, black nose, or red noses.

8. Where on a pit bull are marks that are like human fingerprints?

Answer: Nose

No dog's nose has the same print as another. So this is why it's like a fingerprint, except it's a noseprint.

9. Weighing in at 175 lbs, he was dubbed "World's biggest pit bull" in 2012. What was his name?

Answer: Hulk

Hulk weighed 175 Lbs. at 17 months old. What a whopper weight! He's still alive at the time of writing, reaching eight years old in 2020. Hulk lives in New Hampshire with his family and puppies.

10. in 1989 what was one of the first communities in America to ban pit bulls?

Answer: Miami

Miami may have been one of the first communities to ban pit bulls in 1989 but also in 2013 a dozen countries banned this misunderstood breed.
