Pit Bull <3er's

He is a handsome boy! I also own a sweet Pit girl named Kiko She is my 2nd Pit I have owned. can someone please refresh my memory how to post a pic here?

Go up to my post I explained that.

My parents have a pit/lab named Sheba. We just adopted a lab/sharpei that we brought up from a high kill shelter in Georgia. Named her Jesse. Sheba is staying with us for 2 weeks while my parents are in Europe. This is Jesse playing keep away with a ball, Sheba is chasing her:



This is what Sheba is doing now...

I have always LOVED pitts!! they are fantastic dogs. Any dog has the potential to be agressive if put in the wrong situation or raisaed wrong .... Pitts just got a bad wrap! I run a dog walking company and we have a ton of clients with 'bully' breeds and they're all great. I have a jack russel (well it's my boyfriends) and two cats - but I'd own a pitt any day!!

**On a side note, I'm not sure why pitts have such a bad wrap - I just heard about a jack russell biting a baby 30 times about an hour away from where I am in VA - but no ones saying jack russells are 'aggressive'!! Like I said, any dog can do something crazy if brought up wrong or put in the wrong situation, it's not a breed thing.

I dont have a pit (I have a silly bichon-poodle that showed up one day at my parents ) BUT i love pits! A good friend of mine has a pit & an american bulldog/pitbull (the 2 "worst" breeds in one!) They are the sweetest dogs I have ever been around. They fight with each other but have never been aggressive toward me or any other friends. I also believe it's the owner and how they were raised that affects their behavior.

Your baby is adorable!

I have a friend with the same mix and I agree she is so sweet!

When we moved out of state we had a hard time finding a place to live because one of our dogs is a husky mix which they consider to be an "aggressive breed" and our other dog (a wheaten terrier) is over 40 lbs too so basically no one would rent to us because of our "large aggressive dogs" :laugh: we ended up buying a house so we can have as many large aggressive animals as we want! :bigsmile:

I definitely agree that any animal will fight if put in a dangerous situation but dogs have been bred for thousands of years to serve humans (don't take this the wrong way) but they were bred to be man's best friend. They have come to depend on us and they don't even do well if left in the wild because they don't know how to hunt or fend for themselves anymore. They need us like we need them, nobody loves you more than your dog. :-)

Yay! More pictures! There ain't nothin' better than the smile of Pit Bull!

Dietz27 - I was looking at his pic thinking He's a boxer! No, he's a Pit Bull! No, he's a Boxer! That's a good lookin' dog ya got there!

Thanks. He is so dark that you need to get him outside in the sun to see how shiny he is. I will post some new ones that are on my computer at home. His name is Willy

Is he brindle?

Sunshine, I'm so sorry to hear what happened to your dog! Neighbors can really suck sometimes. I had a Shepherd/Hound/Pit mix that animal control put down last February after she got loose (my back door blew open while I was in the shower, and she took off and jumped the fence) and "charged off my property and attacked" my neighbor's dog as they were walking past my house. She'd already gotten me in trouble several times before, but aside from her dog aggression she was an amazingly sweet and intelligent dog. I didn't have the heart to put her down before then. After she was put to sleep, I found out she didn't really attack the dog. The woman was able to grab Abbie's collar before she got to her dog, and another woman driving by got out to help her. She tried to bring Abbie back to the house, but since I was in the shower, I didn't hear the door, and I guess Abbie got away from her. I can't even look at that woman anymore.

That's awful! I take my dog running a few times a week and part of our route is on a street with no sidewalk. Sometimes there is this older black mixed dog, he looks like he might have some kind of pitt or other "bully" dog in him but he just wants to play with my dog! The first time he came running across the street I jumped because I don't know this dog or what he's gonna do to my dog but he just came over and they sniffed each other and did a little play dance around each other and I walked him to a few doors before I found out who he belonged to. I didn't want him to get hit by a car! My dog didn't want to run anymore after we brought him home, I thought she might be tired so I turned around to go home and when we got to the house where her doggy friend came from she wanted to go up to the door! I thought it was sweet. He seems to get out quite a bit and it makes me sad because I don't want him to get hit or someone to report him like your neighbors did because he really just wants to make friends. My dogs do the same thing!

I thought this was about Pitbull the Cuban rapper/ entertainer (which I love dancing to).

Ha!

Hahaha I thought the same thing and then I come on here and see dogs... I love dogs though

Absolutely love pitbulls!! I have a pitbull/great dane mix and a pitbull/dachshund mix (and a border collie mix). they are so loyal and loving....total lap dogs.

I recently volunteered for a event called pitbull days for underprivileged communities! awesome event where we gave free vaccines, neutering/spaying, deworming! 453 dogs we saw ....of which were 95% pitbulls...all were amazing!

People are such morons when it comes to dogs. My first job ever (at 15) was with a dog trainer (which was about the coolest job possible). People would have the craziest, most WTF-worthy ideas about dogs and how to interact with them.

I never had a pittie, but my dog Zoey has been about 85 pounds most of her life. Sweetest dog in the world but big and a scary black face means that people were terrified of her. We even had the cops show up a number of times just because she was sleeping on the lawn. I remember one time that my mom and I were up in the home office and heard this weird screaming. My mom looked out the window and was like, "There's a crazy person screaming at the dog!" This woman was just standing on the sidewalk (on the other side of the invisible fence so Zoey wouldn't get closer than about six feet), bending down, and just SCREAMING bizarre things and profanities in the dog's face. I run downstairs and throw open the door and the dog comes BOLTING in the house, scared out of her mind. This crazy woman is standing on the sidewalk and starts trying to yell at me about the "dangerous animal."

Now, I pride myself on being pretty logical and even-headed. I went OFF on this idiot like I had never done before (or have done since). She didn't even have a coherent response. I ended up consoling a shaking dog for 45 minutes and my mom had to talk me out of following that moron home to plot my revenge.

Seriously, does this look dangerous to you?
