Know who you are getting the dog from, and that it hasn't been used to fight. American Bulls are loyal, playful and loving, but VERY strong and need firm, thorough training because of their strength. The dog requires good exercise, often adores toys and loves time spent with you.

The first thing you need to know is that a "red nose" is no different than any other Pit bull, it just signifies that the dog has a red nose. Pit Bulls tend to be very active, very sweet with people, have high prey drives and tend to be dog aggressive, particularly with same sex dogs.
