The Pit Bull is not an especially large dog. In fact, in its working form, the Pit Bull is a rather small dog. This enables owners to keep a Pit Bull in a small home or apartment quite comfortably. While it is an energetic dog when given the chance to exercise, it is a breed that prefers to relax when at home. As such, it will not be in the way at all times and will not make itself more conspicuous than many owners prefer their dogs to be.

The Pit Bull also tends to be a hardy dog. It can play hard and live long without costing its owner a fortune in veterinary bills. The closer a line of Pit Bulls is to its original working stock, the hardier the dogs from that line will be. It is not the least bit unusual to own a Pit Bull for 12, 13 or 14 years, or even more. When such dogs finally succumb to old age, they tend to do it without suffering long, protracted, painful and expensive illnesses.
