The black Pitbull happens to be one of the most loyal, loving, intelligent, and courageous dogs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, the beloved nature of this dog has been masked by the assumptions that they are unusually fierce and brutal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is an assumption that has seen these canines endure unfair treatments and stereotypes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But there is more to these beloved creatures than their wrongly assumed ferocity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Their reputation for being agile, vigilant, and courageous has endeared it to several dog lovers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Despite these endearing qualities, multiple factors, especially its looks, have made the black Pitbull subject to various speculations and controversies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What Breed is a Black Pitbull?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A common misconception about the Black Pitbull that emanates from its looks is that it is of a different breed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Black Pitbull is nothing but an American Pit Bull Terrier<\/a> with a black coat.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Most of these dogs boast of entirely black coats, but sighting them with white chests is not uncommon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For this reason, they have been dubbed Tuxedo Pitbulls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is a Black Panther Pitbull?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Close<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A black panther Pitbull holds no difference from all Pitbulls except its entirely black color. They boast of dense all-black coats with no white spots.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hence, it is unsurprising that most of these pooches are referred to as black panther Pitbulls.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

History & Controversies <\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The black Pitbull, like every other Pit, traces its origin to the British Bull and Terrier, which was introduced to North America in 1870.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But how the British Bull and Terrier came about reveals insightful details about these canines and their characteristics. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the 19th century, blood sports, of which canines played a dominant part, was prevalent, and dog breeds with aggressive attributes were highly sought after.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Old English Bulldog, known for its ferociousness, was highly favored.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, canines who were lighter and faster were highly favored in dogfighting, and the need for breeds with the ferocity of the Old English Bulldog but with faster reflexes and agility arose.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The thickly muscled Old English Bulldog was thus crossed bred with the black and Tan Terrier, and the British Bull and Terrier was birthed. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As the passion for dogfighting spread to North America, the strength and agility of the British Bull and Terrier were sought after, and thus, the breed was imported to the continent.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With the British Bull and Terrier importation to North America, the American Pit Bull Terriers were brought about, and efforts for the dog breeds to be recognized by the American Kernel Club began.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These efforts failed as the AKC will not recognize the breed based on its prevalent involvement in dogfighting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Breeders of the American Pit Bull Terrier thus developed the United Kernel Club to rival the American Kernel Club.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With the formation of the UKC and the development of more American dog breeds, the AKC was faced with the dilemma of recognizing these American dog breeds without supporting dogfighting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The solution was to recognize these American dog breeds under different names, and thus the American Pit Bull Terrier was recognized as the Staffordshire Terriers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, with the development of a different Staffordshire Terrier breed in England in the 1930s, the AKC soon changed the breed name to the American Staffordshire Terriers<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The black Pitbull thus is a variant of the American Staffordshire Terrier<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The ferocity of the black Pitbull has seen the dog breed used in various criminal endeavors.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

They have been used in intimidating civilians and guarding narcotics by gangs.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But their agility has also found positive use in the hands of law enforcement agencies for the detection of drugs.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Black Pitbull Color Genetics<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Portrait<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Have you ever seen a black Pitbull basking graciously in the radiant brightness of the sun, its distinctive black coat enamoring you as it leaps playfully, enjoying to the fullest every bit of its time outdoor?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Perhaps this site may have moved you to ask how did the mutt come to possess such a strikingly gorgeous dark coat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Well, get ready for a brief class on canine genetics. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Every canine possesses two types of pigments; the pheomelanin (red pigment) and the eumelanin (black pigment), each contributing to its coat color.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For the black Pitbull, the dominant black gene, known as the K locus plays a major role in its black coat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The K locus comprises three black gene alleles, namely<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
