What is a Poster Pit?
A Poster Pit is really a Poster Pit Team! It features a pit bull or pit bull mix ambassador that exemplifies what a poster pit bull can be and what a proper pit bull can do with training, but it also absolutely includes a handler who exhibited a commitment to training and responsible dog ownership.
Our Poster Pits are an integral part of TPPB. They are the faces of our organization and examples of what pit bulls can do and become with committed owners and quality training.
They are dogs who have earned a CGC, BA, are registered as a Therapy Dog team or have achieved other approved qualifications.
To become a Poster Pit Team:
To qualify to become a Poster Pit Team, your dog must be one year of age and must have achieved one of the aforementioned qualifications. Additionally, human handlers must volunteer for at least one event prior to evaluation.
If you would like further information on becoming a Poster Pit Team, please contact the Poster Pit Manager, lindsey.dibattista@theproperpitbull.org for details.

Waylon
Waylon was adopted from the Animal Rescue League in March of 2014 at only 4 months old. His mom and dad only went to look that day and ended up adopting him on the spot. Waylon excelled at his obedience classes starting off with puppy basics then on to earning his Canine Good Citizen at 11 months old. Waylon also passed his Therapy Dog International test at a little over 1 year old, but after a few visits he showed his mom that it really wasn't his favorite line of work so Waylon went back to school and attended the Canine Life and Social Skills classes at the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society earning his PhD! Waylon and his mom will now be focusing on getting involved in the exciting world of Rally-O and Disc.
Some of Waylon's most favorite things to do are going to Camp Bow Wow to play with all of his boyfriends and girlfriends, making any new dog friend that he can find, being a very large lap dog, hanging out with his bestest bull-buddy and changing the hearts and minds of everyone he meets.
