Why Pit Bulls Are Not Afraid of Pain When a Pit Bull’s body goes into a hyperactive state, there is a rush of testosterone in the body, and the high levels of testosterone cause it to temporarily lose its sense of pain, so it is not afraid of pain. However, when the hormone level drops, the Pitbull will feel pain. The Pitbull’s skin does not have many painful nerves, and the tough structure of the skin resists tearing and recovers quickly and with good endurance. When the pain is in the range of what the dog can tolerate, the Pit Bull acts “calm” as if he is not in pain. Only when the fight is over and there are no more stimulating hormones will the pain be felt. The Pit Bull is smart, brave, and durable, and is loved by people. It is said that the Pitbull has a high IQ and was born to fight. The Pitbull is supposed to be medium sized, but often relies on brains and agility to overcome in the face of dogs several times its size. Pitbull training is also well accomplished and trainable. However, there are some people who believe that the Pitbull has a low IQ and will only use brute force to fight dogs.
