my new pitt puppy! PIX

[AznRevlAzn 10+ year member]

I had a pitbull too when I was about 10, 11..It was the nicest dog ever didnt grown or bite at anyone.. I loved that dog but then he got hit by a car and my dad had to put him to sleep. I got him from doing my friends paper route a person that lived the next street over asked if anyone wanted a puppy..

that was the sweetest story ever //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

Pits arent a good family dog.My mom baby sat for these kids who had one, it was inside all day....the thing was weird. Those dogs need LOTS of room to not be crazy

I agree with getting the lab.

i hope we learn that soon, cuz i want a **** lab. i will buy it/raise it myself....they are much easier to train as they are a lot more intelligient naturally. had one back in the day that is now a drug dog.

Pittbulls are the absolute best dogs in the world, I would NEVER own any other breed ever. Everyone I have owned has been the sweetest thing in the world. Nice lookin dog, do you know where it came from? Or did you buy it from someone you dont know?

it was given to us by a friend. they moved to an apartment which only allows one dog and one cat. they already have a grown boxer/mix, so there was not much of a choice. he could have sold it but knew my brother really like the dog.

pits just take a little more time to train and a watchful eye cause they are not the smartest dogs and that's not true about them not being family dogs cause i had mine since my son was 3 months old and never even close to an incident that would make me worry in the least and it's been 3 years i don't like the idea of a second hand pit though you never know where it came from (parents) or what has been done to it cute dog though

thats a skinny pitt i bet its got rhodiasian ridge in him ( stouter pitts generally get body type from bull terriers lol) they are actually very smart as long as you dont makem feel to inferior. 2 things i would watch for are 1. they are naturally protective of "their" people and what they assume as "their" property especially if you are not there. train him to let go on command 2. they are smart in an emotional sense they are mad when u are happy when you are and act sad when you are. if you pay attention to that and play off it you can get them trained pretty well although for the most part they dont like doing tricks out side of leash training and shakeing. we had about 8 of them while i was growning up you wont find a better dog for your family generally its just the surroundings you gotta be careful of (other people dogs cats) also as a puppy when he gets playing rough nip it in the bud they bite hard anyway and when older if they get that way they meet you pulling away as a reason to bite harder and not let go. we had pitts with bull terrier in them that weighed in at 120 stout lbs and 1 that had rhodiasian in him weighed in at about 80 you can tell by looking at their teeth too if it has rhodie in him his teeth will curve to an almost barbed end (gotta look at it close cause white on white from a few feet looks the same lol) and yes before the american staffordshire terrier (a pit) became offical they did mix them to get traights they wanted the rhodie was faster more athletic and meanier/more brave.

if the pit is young that other dog will end up having a bodyguard. we had ours with miniature schnoozers (i am not looking up how to spell that lol) and if u spanked the little dog the pit would give you the eye lol the other dog will be part of the pits pack if you will
