We may have a new addition to the household....

Good luck sweet Pittie pup, may you find someone with an understanding, accepting heart.

I did not want a pit bull in this house or have my brother own her. No offense, but I was nervous the entire time. I just didn't trust her for some reason, even only at 6 months old.

It is sad that this mindset is still alive. Especially in someone who owns a Husky, a breed that is often on the BSL list right under Pit Bulls.

You all need to back off. If you are offended by it, maybe you need to stop being so sensitive. Have respect for those who are nervous around the breed, don't belittle them for it.

Seriously.

She definetely said she did not want a pittie in the house and it scared her.

I don't think she will deny saying it... What is wrong with her not wanting a Pittie in the house?

This is a discussion. I just find it offensive to come on a site where there a a lot of pittie moms and dads and say these things, I have a right to my opinion also and would never tell anyone to back off.

Stop taking things so personally. That is what everyone's problem is.

I'll be honest here, I also took offense to it. I agree with caseysmom it probably upsets the people that own pit bulls on this board and the people who adore the breed like myself. and I took offense because I love and adore this wonderful breed. I really hope the pup finds a home. She is very cute, I hope she gets someone who is expierienced with this wonderful breed and loves her for who she is.

Well, I think if Rachel is unsure or afraid of having a pittie in the house, good for her for realizing that, and having the good sense to admit it and not put the dog through an adjustment period that wouldn't work. There are many dogs that I personally feel I would not be able to handle. Some of them are my favorite breeds of dog (I want a Chow Chow soooo badly). Not being sure that you can responsibly raise a pit bull to be a good and trustworthy dog is not the same as thinking that all pits should be banned and have no place in civilized society. Any one who takes offense at someone saying they are not comfortable training a pit bull how to behave is more concerned about their own feelings than what is right for the dog in that situation. A pit bull, or any physically and mentally strong breed, should not be raised/trained by someone who is uncomfortable around the dog. I think it was wise that the dog was not kept in this situation for a long period of time.

actually I understand her... I love pits and would love to own one sometime... I´ve been on the look out for a Bull terrier for a while now... and I undertand where she was...

bringing a new dog...in my case specially huskies take pack stuff way too seriously.... and adding a bully breed or any other breed for that matter would be a difficult task to do... I would be wary too introducing a new member... even more so a breed that was equally conflictive (dog wise)... and even more a lil rambunctious pup that could easily annoy an older dog with a prey drive....

when you know your dogs you´ll be wary gettina a new one that you know nothing at all about his/her background.. I know shelter dogs are great and you don´t know theior backgrounds at all... but tell me wouldn´t you be wary or at least more careful about it??... I mean you certainly don´t know if the dog was beaten or what not and how it would react in certain situations... adn to top if off your own dog can be as sweet as candy and adding a new one might trigger something hidden in them for years... who knows..

adding a new dog takes time... and puppies are pretty annoying ALL puppyhood but why would she risk Anna or Rosie or even the pup get hurt just because the pup was hyper (as all puppies are)?...best thing was return puppy to someone who could give him a chance just as she did....unfortunately thing didn´t worked out but at least she tried....

as Karen said she is NOT anti pitty.... just that in her situation didn´t work... and BSL lists are plain BS to me I certainly don´t care who´s number 1,2,3,4 etc... any dog can do damage and any dog can be plain sugar...

please don´t take it sooooo personally... as it wasn´t meant that way..
