pitbulls

[Blackrose]

My brother brought home a 6 month old pit bull over the weekend, and his only intention was to keep her safe and not fall into the hands of the people who'd treat her wrong. Unfortunately, my two dogs, did not like her at all. I don't know why, but, Anna (husky) was very, very protective of Rosie (beagle) and all the puppy wanted to do was to dominate the beagle. Rosie just kept hiding and tried to avoid her while Anna growled and protected her. However, we had to give her back, so I hope that puppy finds a good home someday. What I have noticed was that she had SO MUCH energy, and she was strong like an ox. Wow. I do think they're sweet dogs, but, they are not for me.

They are really strong (and active too)! Chloe and Sasha both play with the leash in the same way...when they get very excited they'll grab ahold and start tugging. I let Chloe do it because it is a reward for her and she'll spit the leash out when I say, "Knock it off," but when Sasha started tugging on the leash I thought I was going to be pulled flat on my face! She also likes to play tug with her rope toys and I don't think I could ever win if I tried. LOL

My aunt was walking her dog today and they were attacked by two pitbulls that had gotten loose. Baskerville has some pretty deep wounds but should be ok. When they went to the owner's house he cursed at them and told them he'd said not to walk by his house because his dogs would get out. My aunt and uncle called the police to come out and tell him that they are free to walk on the road by his house.

What kind of screwed up person is that? It shouldn't be that hard to keep your dogs contained on your property! I'm glad Baskerville is allright...my dogs and I have been jumped by loose dogs plenty of times on walks but I don't think I've ever had an owner yell at me not to walk by because their dog was out...
