Red Nose Pit Bull Overview
The popularity of the American pit bull terrier has given rise to a variety of different colors like the brindle pit bull and the blue nose pit bull.
One of the most popular color varieties is the red nose pit bull.
This pup is known for their beautiful reddish brown fur and cinnamon colored nose to match.
They have a very strong body and always carries themselves in a confident manner.
Sadly this dog breed has had a trouble past as they were originally bred for bull baiting and dogfighting. This only added weight to their reputation as aggressive dogs.
Fortunately after dog fighting was outlawed people began to see the true potential in these hardworking Terriers.
The reality is that this pooch is a lover, not a fighter.
This friendly and lovable goofball loves to act like a giant puppy.

A Day In The Life Of This Breed
Your red nose pit bull will be right at your bedside all night.
They will be waiting for the two of you to start the day together.
A good breakfast and a walk around the block are the best way to start any day.
Your pooch will need plenty of love and attention before you go out to work. Once they feel safe and sure of your return they will relax in their crate or another safe place in the house to wait for you.
When you come home from work at lunch your Pit will smother you in slobbery kisses.
They have been waiting all day for you to come home and have some fun.
Now it is time to play.
Take your dog to the park to play fetch or catch or to let them run wild with their four legged friends.
While playing with their friends your dog will make sure that you are part of the fun too. You will be having so much fun together that the rest of the afternoon will fly right by.
When you come home from the park it will be time for dinner.
After that your red nose pit bull terriers will finally be ready to relax and unwind – watch TV together and have a cuddle session on the couch. An evening of rest and relaxation is much appreciated after such a long day of work and play.
At bedtime your red nose friend will join you at your bedside or even curl right up at the foot of your bed.
History And Origin
The American pit bull terrier breed was originally bred in England.
From here the pit bull traveled to Ireland where the red nose pit bull was bred for the first time.
The name pit bull is a reference to their original role as a bull baiter. Packs of these dogs were placed in an arena with one bull and crowds watched as the dogs would attempt to take the bull down.
Only dogs bred for aggression could handle such a task so breeders would intentionally pair the most aggressive dogs together.
Dogs were also trained to be aggressive using harsh physical punishment and discipline.
When bull baiting was outlawed the focus shifted towards dogfighting.
Fortunately this horrid practice has now been outlawed but the pit bull’s reputation as a vicious fighter has remained.
As this breed’s popularity soared in the States they were eventually given the name American pit bull terrier.
Sadly though this breed is still banned in many municipalities.
The breed is falsely pegged as a dangerous attack animal.
Work is being done to help this breed overcome its unfair reputation and breed specific legislation is becoming less common each year.
Hopefully in the years to come enough awareness is raised to show this breed’s true nature.
6 Fun Facts
- The red nose pit bull actually comes from Ireland, not the United States.
- Whilst their imposing appearance makes them a popular choice for a guard dog they are much more likely to befriend an intruder than to try to scare one away.
- Pit bulls were once known as nanny dogs because of their love of children. Many owners even trusted their dogs with unofficial babysitting duty.
- Unfortunately this breed is one of the most common targets of breed specific legislation. Several activist groups are dedicated to raising awareness of the pit bull’s true nature and end municipal bans on the breed.
- The red nose is one of many unique colors that this breed can have – you can find this breed in just about any color (including blue and brindle).
- Sadly this breed is not recognized by the American Kennel Club because of their troubled past.
Temperament And Behavior
The red nose pit bull is one of the sweetest dogs around.
They just love to spend time with their family and will enjoy being the center of attention.
Just like other working breeds though they are very active and need to be kept busy.
Whilst they do enjoy relaxing they will need to spend a long day at play before they are ready to curl up on the couch.
They enjoy classic doggie games like fetch but they also love agility and rally.
You should expect a bit of noise when this pooch is feeling excited or playful, or when something is amiss around the house.
However a well trained pit bull should never bark at neighbors or other animals.
As for socialization, you should socialize a dog when its a puppy.
Proper socialization with other people and dogs is vital to keep this pooch on their best behavior. A Pit is a very social dog that absolutely craves attention and friendship.
Just remember that this dog does not mix well and may chase after smaller dogs and cats.
Any pit bull that displays aggression or pushes others around should be trained out of this behavior as soon as possible.
Young puppies play bite in order to test out their new teeth, while an older dog may bite if it is feeling scared or distressed.
The model red nose pit bull is friendly, social and very smart.
They make a wonderful family dog and will enjoy having children around to play with. This breed is great for couples or for families with children over the age of 6 where they will be given plenty of love and attention throughout the day.
If you show this dog the love and respect that they deserve they will give you undying loyalty.
How Much Does A Red Nose Pit Bull Cost?
As the red nose pit bull is common they are cheaper than other colors.
You should expect to pay around $1000 for a puppy.
The starting price depends on where you find your new friend.
At a shelter you will pay around $350 for you Red Nose and the proceeds will go towards helping the shelter care for the other animals.
Since the color is so widely available they are the best bet for someone looking for a pit bull on a budget.
| Puppy | $1000-$2000 |
| Adult | $600-$1000 |
| Adoption | $350-$450 |
Buyer’s Tips
- A red nose pit bull is one of the most common pit bull colors so they are usually the most reasonably priced pit bull.

- If this is too expensive for you then consider getting one from a shelter – sadly this breed is one of the most common shelter pets in the country.
- You will need to consider important supplies in your budget too. Items such as a harness, dog crate and toys can easily add another $250 onto the total cost.
- This dog does not know their own strength will tear up plenty of toys. You should expect to spend at least $65 every few months to replace any toys that your Pit may have destroyed.
Red Nose Pit Bull Appearance
Surprisingly this dog has no official breed standard.
However you can expect a medium sized muscular dog.
They have a broad skull with a wide muzzle and a huge smile.
Their ears can stand erect or have a slight fold but they should never be cropped. Just like their name suggests they have a reddish brown nose and this can look faded depending on the season.
Overall this is a strong and confident dog to look at.
Size
You can expect a male Red Nose to stand between 18-21 inches tall and weigh between 35-60 pounds.
Females are only slightly smaller and stand between 17-20 inches and weigh between 30-50 pounds.
Particularly large sized pit bulls may grow up to 70 pounds if they are male and 60 pounds if they are female.
Colors
This dog has a beautiful reddish brown coat.
They sometimes have a white belly and face too.
This dog has a short and stiff single coat that is very short. You can feel this dog’s muscles underneath their coat as you pet them.
Fortunately as they have short fur they do not shed much.
Red Nose Pit Bull Care Guide
Whilst the red nose pit bull is a special kind of dog they do not need much special care.
A loving and kind owner is all this dog needs to be happy and healthy.
This dog also needs an active owner that can run around and play right most of the day. They should never be left home alone for more than a few hours at a time, so absentee owners need not apply.
She makes a great introduction to the bully breeds and will just want to become your best friend.
Above all the owner of a red nose pit bull must be fully committed to training and socialization through the dog’s whole life.
Exercise
These dogs need at least an hour of exercise each day.
You can split this up between walks and running.
All bully breeds must be kept on their leash when they are out walking – off leash play should be done in a safe, secure area. You can walk them for 30 minutes a day and then add 30-40 minutes of play to complete your dog’s day.
Running is one of their favorite ways to keep fit.
This breed will play almost anything including fetch, catch and tag. However they excel in rally which combines obedience and agility.
- Total Daily Activity: 60 minutes.
- Activity Level: 4/5.
- Favorite Activity: Rally.
Grooming
This red pit bull’s short and dense coat is very easy to groom.
To keep their beautiful red coat shining you will need to brush them once a week.
During the spring and fall you may notice a few more dropped hairs than usual. This is because your dog is preparing their season coat. During this time you will need to brush them 2-3 times a week instead.
Pit bulls need much more cleaning than brushing (especially on the face and ears). Bathe your pup every few month using a dog safe shampoo and conditioner.
If your dog has facial folds then it is very important to keep their face clean. Use gentle facial wipes or a dog friendly spa mask to keep dirt from collecting around the nose, eyes and muzzle. Trim their nails every 2 or 3 weeks and brush your dog’s teeth once every week. It can be difficult to get your dog to appreciate the toothbrush so you can motivate them with tasty toothpaste or dental treats.
Nutrition
An active and muscular dog like this needs lots of protein.
In fact protein should be the first ingredient in their diet. Protein from real meat sources promotes healthy muscle condition and growth.
The red nose pit bull will need up to 1000 calories a day of high protein kibble or raw meat.
You can split this across 2 meals (morning and evening). Your dog’s lightest meal should be given when they begin to wind down at the end of the day. At dinnertime it is all right to give them half a cup rather than a full cup. Their biggest meal should come at breakfast.
Most of the dog’s diet should be made up of protein and healthy fats that comes from natural sources rather than additives and byproducts.
Treats should only be given in small amounts.
Growth Chart:
- Between 2 and 6 months old your puppy will have reached half of their adult weight. This should be 20-30 pounds for a male and 15-18 pounds for a female. Use a puppy weight calculator if you are interested in your pup’s growth.
- Your dog should reach their full size shortly after their first birthday. For a male this should be between 40-60 pounds (or up to 70 for exceptionally large pit bulls). Females will weigh between 30-50 pounds.
Health Concerns
Whilst the red nose pit bull is a robust breed there are still a handful of things you need to watch out for.
Patellar luxation is a joint disorder that mainly occurs in small dogs but it can affect medium sized dogs like the pit bull. This occurs when the patella is unstable and easily dislocated. It causes pain and discomfort, mobility issues and eventual lameness. Treatment depends on what stage the condition is in but on extreme cases they will need surgery. At stage 1 and 2 the patella can be relocated manually. However at stage 3 or 4 patellar luxation almost always requires surgery to correct.
Degenerative myelopathy is one of the most severe conditions that this breed can develop. It usually occurs in dogs at least 9 years old. This condition causes the spinal cord to degrade and can lead to partial and eventual total paralysis. Early signs include dragging the limbs and a loss of balance and coordination. The joints may lock up from time to time as the condition progresses. Paralysis of the hind limbs and total loss of motion will eventually follow. Unfortunately the condition is 100 percent fatal.
How Long Does A Red Nose Pit Bull Live?
A red nose pit bull can live for anywhere between 10 and 15 years.
How To Train Red Nose Pit Bull Terriers
There are plenty of puppy training tips that you can use to train your pup as soon as you bring your red nose pit bull home.
During training you should always be firm but fair.
Always treat your dog with the respect that it needs to foster that same respect for you.
This dog’s natural desire to please others means that they responds very well to praise for good behavior. Bad behavior is best ignored as the pup is only trying to get your attention.
Red Nose Pit Bulls are more motivated by love and praise than by treats.
So when they complete a command correctly praise them by giving them love and affection.
Socialization is absolutely vital for this breed. You must take your dog to places where it can safely interact with other people and dogs. A pit friendly training class will be hard to find so most of the training will need to be done at home.
Your puppy should always have a safe and structured environment to socialize with other dogs of a similar size and personality.
Training is also a great way to keep them stimulated.
Boredom is a pit bull’s least favorite state of mind and almost always leads to destructive behavior.
Rope toss is a great game both for training and sharpening their mind. While you play you can practice commands like sit, stay, drop it and leave.
They will need to be kept mentally busy to prevent any destructive behavior.
Never underestimate the intelligent mind beyond those sweet little eyes.
As a larger Terrier breed they can be trained for different kinds of work.
They are most commonly employed as a watchdog or a guard dog. The breed is sometimes trained as a service dog or a police K-9 as well.
Summary
Do not let the red nose pit bull’s unfortunate history fool you.
This dog is as sweet as sugar and just wants to be loved.
Taking on this breed is a decade long commitment that not everybody is able to make.
Dedicated families with older children in the house will love this dog’s gentle spirit. Single owners who bring one home will never have to feel lonely again. A pit bull only ever wants to know how much you love them. If you treat your dog with the kindness they deserve they will love you right back in return.
The dog may be a big goofball but that does not mean they are not intelligent.
For this dog to be at their best they need to be kept active.
This means spending long days playing games and learning new tricks.
A red nose pit bull is a lifelong friend that you will never forget. If you can make room in your heart for one it will fit in right in.

Hi Timothy, I have shared your comment with our readers to recommend some red nose pitties for you.
My red nose is the best thing & best friend in my life. Totally amazing. We exercise at least 2 hours per day, he keeps me in shape. He is very intelligent, loving, fun, the perfect dog. I want to protect him as much as he wants to protect me. Great with kids, likes the snow, likes the water, can be stubborn sometimes, and is well mannered. Perfect 10

Hi my red nose to…her name is STARR…She is so adorable.
First dog I got was a female red nose from a rescue few years later picked up a male red nose for her they are good friends love them so much
❤Nala&Geno❤
My sister had the most loving and playful red nose that you could ever imagine. He could sense a squeaky toy from 20 paces and always knew when you had one. He loved to play and be fussed and would always wag his tail no matter what.
His temperament was always the best but could always protect the home if needed. He made my sister always feel safe and she loved her “baby boy”. Sadly after giving him the most amazing life after being rescued and him loving her to bits he sadly died from a tumour that ruptured. He was the best dog you could ever wish to have and was loved by everyone. He will be sadly missed
I lost my Duchess from the same this weekend, I could not have had a better dog. They love so hard.
We just got our first pittbull puppy and love the short hair! Adorable eyes.
Leada is my 11 week old red nosed pit. She is sweet and smart an I enjoy her very much. I have 2 cats and so far so good, I also have 5 grand kids that she is not sure about, only she is spooked very easily by almost every noise new; or loud voice, kids playing, other dogs barking. She hides under my bed and that worries me greatly. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Kim & leadda
Hi Kim,
Great news that things are going well so far with your puppy. She’s likely feeling overwhelmed at at all the recent changes in her life. She’s probably decided that under your bed is a great place to stay safe. We need her to learn that she can be safe in other places too.
Have you considered crate training? This isn’t a punishment, it’s giving her a safe place to retreat to. Somewhere she knows is hers and you can teach your Grandkids that it’s a no-go zone. As she grows she’ll still need a place to go to, but she’ll soon be too big to fit under your bed.
You also need Leada to associate all those things she’s wary of, with good things. So if your Grandkids are making noise and movements in one room, head into another room with Leada and give her a chew or some treats. You may be better having a barrier or partition separating the kids from her, so she knows she’s safe and she can get used to them from a distance. Let her watch and be patient.
Introduce the kids one at a time, but on Leada’s terms. If she’s running away, she’s not ready. Let her watch from a distance again and give her a chew or a slow-feeder. She’ll be distracted enough to stay in the general area and hopefully start to associate the kids with good things!
Only introduce Leada to the kids when she’s ready. This may take longer than you’d hoped, but we want to set her up to succeed!
Always supervise the kids with Leada and teach them how to interact with dogs. For example: kids need to give dogs space, never take toys/chews from them, never interrupt their eating and let the dog come to you. This is where crate training can be a saving grace. Teach the kids that if Leada chooses to go to her crate, she just wants some quiet time and to leave her be.
Be patient, arm yourself with plenty of treats and chews. Leada just needs to learn that all these new things aren’t as scary as she thinks. If you are concerned about her behaviour, please see the advice of a qualified trainer or behaviourist.
Hi. I have 2, 1 red nosed and 1 blue. My red I rescued (or she rescued me) was from Chicago animal control. She is just the sweetest girl. My blue I rescued as well only from a young couple who couldn’t handle her. I see no difference in my girls as far as their nose color. My red is APBT and my blue is straight up Staffy. I can’t imagine my life without them.
Others gave great info. What I will say though, is it’s all on you. You have to be active in using all of these situations as an opportunity for training. For example, don’t want your dog to bite? Then get the dog going with a toy and keep putting your hands in the mix, when the dog touches skin, correct the action and then congratulate immediately after the listen. I would use this technique as often as possible with everything. It’s alot easier to do this while a puppy then a full grown dog. Good luck!
We just got a 5 month old red nose pitt. I love him he’s great with my kids. How do I get him to where he stays sweet and good with other dogs? We camp alot and I want him to be my camping buddy any suggestions
Hi Christine, Well done on adopting! You can read our guide on practical socialization, this will help you.
That was very good advice, I loved reading your story, and yet I have a Tonkinese kitten. Ha Ha. He was frightened of going in the car. I just persevered and took him out for a little drive every day. Now he runs to the front door when I tell him we are going out in the car. He loves it now, 😀
Professional training saved me. I have had dogs for 40 years but never a pit. I went for training because she is so powerful & can be stubborn. Training is always on going but has work perfect. She is 19 months, well behaved, socialize, friendly & lovable. Good luck.
My wife was driving home last winter at dusk saw an animal laying in a drainage ditch. She took him to our vet, weighing 26 lb and about a year old took him home. Put him in our heated garage so he could heal in peace. We planned to find him a good home. Today at the vets he weighted 65lb, sleeps between my wife and I, head on pillow. Buddy sleeps with his paws on my shoulders or head on my wife’s chest. Buddy is the sweetest, loving, funniest dog we’ve had in our home. Not a mean bone in his giant body. When we speak to him he shakes his backside like he’s going to break his back with excitement. We are so thankful God brought this Angel to live with us. Pitts are the best friends. Kevin
I’ve currently had my red nose pitbull for 2months he sleeps in my bed, loves my 4 year old nephew to pieces loves playing and is overall the best puppy I have ever had. Whoever came up with the theory that pitbulls are dangerous for kids clearly didn’t know how to take care of his doggie and in any case humans would be the ones making them aggressive because they are naturally the cutest dogs ever
I got my first pup about 3 weeks ago. A lady had found their litter on the side of the road and shared the babies on Facebook. The vet said they were only about 6 weeks old at the time. My little red nose has been an adventure already and this article really helped explain a few of his tendencies to me.
My girl is almost 5 yrs and I couldn’t be happier. Very sociable with people and other dogs. A little more work than other breeds (training, exercise requirements etc) but well worth it. Intelligent, loyal, great companion. Also a great hunting dog.
I have had Pitbulls (red nose blue nose American) for 28 years. When I was less than a year old my parents rescued Bruno (red nose) from a sheler in FL and immediately took him to the vet for all shots and check up. He was about 6 months old and had lived on the streets. Bruno raised me, my brother and sister for 14 years. Best dog ever growing up and really set the bar high for Brutus (blue nose) and Chief (American). All 3 are and were the best of friends you could imagine. Brutus would travel the country with me for work. I could look at him and it was as if he could read my mind. Chief is almost 2 now and is the best big brother to my 5 year old son and 8 week old jack Russell (Max). He’s quite the talker and speaks his mind! All 3 we got as puppies Bruno (6 month), Brutus and Chief (6 weeks). My family will always have at least 1 Pitt bull in our home for their love and loyalty. All of my Pitts have always slept in my bed or in my son’s bed even tho they all had there own. Just an all around great breed that unfortunately have been abused or misused for bad instead of the great that they are.
I have a red nose APBT/Staff mix and he’s the best dog I’ve ever owned! (I also have a 5mo old red nose who is pretty awesome). He’s getting better over time, but people are still so amazed at how wonderful, calm, gentle and loving he is because he is a Pitty. I’ve had a Shepard/ Norwegian elk hound/ mutt rescue dog/ and a few small dogs (Yorkie mixes). As an adult I’ve chosen three Pitties and would never live life without one! By far the most complete dog I’ve ever owned. From temperament, loyalty, training, and protection for my family and mostly children, by far the most well rounded dogs. I’ve also only had one medical issue with all of my Pitties!!! 😁
I had my pit from three weeks old. He’s never been in a fight, or bitten anyone. I’m gone 10 to 12 hrs a day, when I get home my dog is the same way as I left, truly the best dog I ever had.
Khaos is the best Red Nose boy in the whole world. He is 12 years old now and has been right beside me through thick and thin. He has had many kitty cat brothers and sisters; Kozmo is his best friend. His instinct as a pup was to chase the cats but using crate training and treats succeeded in little to no time. He is very stubborn but very smart and nothing took very long to train. Consistency and firmness are key. You must use as much positive reinforcement as possible. Trying to control a grown, untrained Pit is a feat not to be taken lightly. It’s best to get that out of the way when they’re pups.
I have never felt love for any being quite like I do for my Khaos. He is ALWAYS happy to see me and in his younger days he pranced so proud and handsome!
He still wants to prance but he isn’t as flexible as he used to be. I have never seen a dog smile as big or as often as he does. He loves everything and expects everything loves him.
Just got two 7 week old (boy and girl) red nose pitties. I have 3,4,7 and 10yr old kids running around the house. I will start the socialization classes once they’re at about 12 weeks. Do I really have to separate them, as some suggest, even after them receiving socialization classes?
It’s great that you are planning on attending socialization classes with your pups.
Will any of the kids be able to attend with you? Whilst it’s essential to get the pups used to the world, the kids also need to know how to manage them.
Let the kids get involved in their training, so they understand how the pups learn and how to ask them to behave. Dogs and kids don’t need to have separate wings of the house, they can co-habit, but they should always be supervised when together.
If you can’t supervise for a moment, this is where baby gates or room barriers come in handy. Just pop the dogs in one room whilst you get sorted. Teach the kids about dog body language, so watch for signs the pups are getting stressed (kids can get a little rowdy with pups sometimes).
Make sure the pups have their own dens or space where the kids won’t be allowed. The dogs will soon learn that if they just want some peace, they can pop off to their den (play pens or open crates are great).
It also helps the kids understand that dogs have their own needs and to respect their space. Always let the dogs eat in peace and teach the kids not to take toys or food/chews off them. If you have any more questions about your pups, please feel free to ask.
I currently have my first Pitbull, he is a SharPei Cross Red Nose Pitty. He is the most loving, loyal and caring dog I’ve ever had. I love him so much
I have rescued 3 Pits, 2 of them Staffies and my current Red Nose. They have all been angels in disguise. Don’t think I would have any other breed. They are very strong walkers and mine takes me for a walk twice a day. As far as biting or being mean the worst mine have done is to nearly lick me to death. Very Loving Friends.
I’m a owner of 4 rednose pitts. My rex is the oldest, he brought me so much love and joy. Then came my girl Sheeva, she a great snuggler and she had pups I kept 2 of her 6; a boy call boogie and a girl name altheena. They are all my babies, my grandsons love them and they give so much love to our family.
I have a female red nose and she is my first pit. She’s my best friend and is now 6 yrs old. I pray she lives a very long life,for she will probably be my last as I am 70 now. I have had many a fur baby in my life, but this little girl has captured my entire soul – she’s the sweetest, most loyal and best friend I’ve ever had.💖
Red pits are the best. At least ours is. Friendly and loving. I hope I can always get this kind of dog.
We rescued a red nose (after reading this article and seeing pics I believe she is) almost a year ago in Jan. She is a sweetheart! Her temperament is very mellow with a lot of energy. She doesn’t seem to bark or jump up when the door bell rings or if we walk in from outside; she doesn’t bark much either.
No Matter what color they’re the most affectionate dogs – mine being a full blue nose
We adopted a red nose female pitbull from our local shelter. We LOVE her so much. So affectionate and loving. kisses and hugs we get from her, she is a sweet heart.
It is so nice to see positive posts about any Pitts. My Frank is a red nose they made us put a sign in window saying “Warning Pittbull on property” at least they are not outlawed in my city. We have never been separated since 7 years, and he wont leave my side still. Best dog I have ever owned loyal loving obedient and takes to training easily.
I owned several red nose Pitbulls – best dogs ever! Very smart, loyal and very affectionate. They were my best of friends. I have one now named Lil Bear and he is a big baby boy. Had him since the day he was born from a litter of 12 puppies, he just loves my grandson who is now 5 and Bear is 8.
My red passed in march this year and she was the kindest, friendliest, loving creature on earth. We had 8 lovely years with her, anyone, actually everyone should get a pit, they are highly intelligent, loyal and loving!
Had a chocolate red nose female she was 93lbs at her biggest. She lived 15 years she was stage three obedience trained. She was so smart she would use the bathroom on command.
We have a our first pittie and she is a red nose. She has about 1/8 Sharpei in her as well. Her name is Carmelita Ginger A.K.A. “Cookie” Harrison. With the chocolate highlights blended into her beautiful rusty coat she is gorgeous. She is the happiest and sweetest dog. She ALWAYS greets us in the morning, or coming in the door or out of a room, with a gift (a toy of some sort) in her mouth, while also saying hello.

Anyone know of a red nose breeder in Ontario Canada. Just lost ours to cancer in her spleen, only 4 yrs old. She was the best dog and every bit of what you have described.
