pitbulls

[Blackrose]

Since we're posting Pittie photos.... My friend has a Pittie whom I consider my "god dog". We actually may be taking Sasha, the Pittie, in when my friend goes to college. Just depends on the home situation. I LOVE this dog - she is such a sweet heart. Very smart and athletic. She's smaller than Chloe but can clear a 4' gate from a stand still with room to spare! Such a rock solid, strong, adorable, wonderful, stable dog. She doesn't get along well with strange dogs (aka, random dog we meet on the street), but she loves to play with other dogs after a proper introduction at a house.

Pit Bulls, when properly socialized don't have a mean bone in their body. Just like ANY other breed. They get a bad reputation. The news only tells the bad side. Never the good side of this breed. Never say how devoted they are to their families, How they are smart as a whip and easily trainable.

I myself have owned a Pittie. One of the best dogs I've ever had! Here are some pics of Brick. Look at these pics and tell me that Pitties are uncontrollably aggressive.


Brick being a goof.

Brick and me. He was such a lover. Not a mean thing about him.

Brick snuggling with the first pup I bottle fed. He loved this pup like it was his. Even tried to nurse it.

Me and Brick. He was my best friend. Unfortinatly he was too energetic and
I didn't have the fenced yard that he needed to burn that energy.

Yes Pit Bulls are like other breeds, just like any other breed they can have inherit temperament problems. Aggression, shyness, skittish, ect. Good breeders breed for proper temperament. Building on a solid foundation with training and socialization is your best bet for a balanced, confident, sociable dog.

Brick is a beautiful dog. I absolutely love brindles like him! What a stunner. Your jeans look like mine at times.

That will be cool if you take her. Yes 4ft is very easy for a Pit to clear. Does she have any Bull Terrier in her lineage? She is pretty. Another brindle!

I don't know what her lineage is. My friend got her from someone who took her for one of their friends after they couldn't afford to feed her anymore. Sasha was given to Brittany saying, "She's pure, but no papers and may be pregnant."
No idea of the age, how far along she may be, nothing. Brittany ran into the original original owner and when Britt asked about Sasha's age he said, "Oh, I don't know....a year, maybe?"
We took Sasha to the vet and they said she was at least 2 1/2 and wasn't pregnant, but from the looks of her had had a litter before.
So who knows where she came from or what she has in her. I love her though. Her only fault is because she was passed around so many times she has some mild seperation anxiety (thus the reason she was clearing the gates), but it would be easily worked with.

And Spicy, you have some good looking dogs! Very muscled and lean - how a Pittie should be, not the pigs that some people are breeding.

In my experience, Pit Bulls are a great breed. I have rescued, fostered, and owned them for over 4 yrs now. Yes, I know that is not much experience, but I have learned a lot and am still learning. I have fallen in love with the "Bully Breed" dogs. Pitties, Staffs, and AmStaffs are all misunderstood breeds...they just want to please thier owners and be loved....don't we all?

Allow me to show my love and add to the pictures!!

Memphis and Casper (member him??)


Baby and Penny


Jameson and Rex


Bentley and his Rainbow Bridge Mom, Lady....You all remember her I'm sure.


Beautiful (with my oldest son) and our boy Scruff (with some rescue kitties)


I have TONS more, but that would be a whole new thread of its own!!!

Everyone who knows me I LOVE, LOVE pit bulls. they are by far my favorite breed. I am so passionate about them any "bully" breed really but especially pit bulls. they are the clowniest, goofiest, most loyal, friendly, and they want to please you and they do it so well! they have the best "smiles" and kisses in the whole wide world! I hope to own one someday, rescued of course. I just adore this wonderful breed to KNOW them is to LOVE them! I have came across so many pit bulls while volunteering and working at the shelter I just have fallen head over heels for them. there is nothing better than seeing a smile and face like this. this is Montee, he's where I work and the most awesome guy. I would take him home in a second if I could if we didn't have a house full! he's such a great ambassador for the breed.

[Spicy_Bulldog]

Its so cool seeing people that love the Pits and bullies. I hope more can learn about them and grow to know the real breed.

Reachoutrescue that is a nice group of dogs. I like Baby the best, but they're all cute. Another person with tons of pics! I don't feel so alone..lol I too had one named Bentley, a female, she was a rescue.

Loveofallhorses Montee looks like such a sweet dog. He's cute too.

Sounds like another shady person. I'm glad she is such a great dog, I hope you get the chance to have her. No matter what her lineage is she looks like a happy dog and very pretty too.

Had to throw a couple more pics..

He is such a wonderful dog, Spicy. He gives so many kisses and he LOVES milkbones. He just loves everything and everyone. He was really good with my co-workers' dog I forgot she was out there and she is a longhaired chihuahua and he just tried to kiss her. his "owners" suck though he actually jumped off a bridge we think he was pushed off.
he is fine though he had to have 5 teeth extracted he fell on his face and he hurt his leg but he's all fine now and all ready to go for adoption once he has another check up at the vets. If I didn't have a house full, he'd so come home with me.


your pups are gorgeous. Blackrose I am in love with Sadie! ReachoutRescue, I love all of those babies. God, I just adore the breed. everyone has such beautiful dogs.

I know. She came from a bad part of town and my friend has had more than one person say she would be a good fighting dog. I'm glad that Britt is the one who took Sasha in, even though Britt is the less than ideal owner. She lets Sasha run loose (unspayed near a busy road), does no training with her (but has no problem yelling at her when she does something "wrong"), and only walks her for a total of three blocks a day (when she stayed with us I took her on a two mile walk once a day and the dog could have easily jogged twice the distance).
IMO, it is a bad situation for a sensitive, intelligent, athletic, active dog like Sasha. But at least she's not being fought, isn't in the shelter, and has food, vetcare, toys, and a warm place to sleep.

I hope I can take her in too. My mom, however, will be less than thrilled. She doesn't like Pit Bulls and she says that Sasha gives her the creeps and she feels like she's going to be eaten.
My younger brother, however, ADORES Sasha. He was really attached to the Leader Dog puppy we raised, Sadie, and he's really missed having "his" dog. When we watched Sasha he really clicked with her. I think he likes her as much as I do. Nobody else in the family minded her either, even my dad (which just about blew my socks off).

Poor dog! It may be possible that he jumped though. Brick use to go cliff diving in the river. He wasn't afraid of anything.

My Pit is almost 4 months and weighs about 26 lbs. The sire weighs 90lbs and the Dam weighs 70lbs. By the weigh i got the runt, if that matters at all

Are you asking about the size as an adult? The parents were large for APBTs. If you got the runt they might be small now but runts can catch up with their littermates/parents. You have to look at the pedigree also. Parents can potentially produce larger or smaller pups then themselves depending on whats behind them. I'd say your dog might not get quite as big as the parents but then again could have a growth spurt so it is hard to predict. Some have different growth rates and might seem like they will be very large but then slow down and not grow much. Others do the opposite and seem like they will stay small then have a couple growth spurts.

While the parents were large your pup isn't so much larger then your average APBT pup. At close to 4 months my more recent pups have been 14-20lbs but won't be so big as adults. One is about full grown now and 33lbs. Maybe your dog will be about 50-60lbs.
