A Pitbull is a medium-sized breed of dog that typically has a short, shiny coat that comes in a variety of colors, including brindle, black, blue fawn, red or white. They have a broad skull that tapers slightly at the muzzle with strong jaws and teeth forming a scissors bite. The nose should be black in color with wide nostrils for efficient breathing and the eyes are medium in size and almond-shaped with an intelligent expression. The ears are wide at the base and set high on the head. The neck is thick, muscular, and long enough to allow for free movement of the head while running or walking. The shoulders should be well laid back with good angulation between shoulder blades and forelegs and the chest should be broad, deep, and strong to the elbow. The body should be compact with a moderate tuck up in the abdomen while the loin is short and muscular with croup sloping slightly. The tail should be set low on the rump and taper towards the end with a slight hook or twist at its tip when held up in full alertness. Finally, their feet have round toes that are tight together with good grip when running or walking.
