1. American Pitbull IQ

Pit’s IQ is higher than any other dog breed, even the “Golden Retriever”, which is universally recognized as the smartest dog breed in the world! This is why Pit has always dominated the dog forest. Strength and courage alone are not enough for a bite. Pitbull, who can barely be considered a medium-sized dog, wants to defeat dogs several times his size. The most important thing is that he has a thinking mind and extremely high sensitivity. Obedience training for Pitbulls is very easy and incredibly trainable. A smart thinking mind prevents you from trying to trick Bit out of anything he is interested in!
