Anyone with Pitties?

Why are you breeding dogs with known dog aggression?

I am sorry for not making myself clear when describing the temperment of the dogs and for also stating that they are "aggressive", definitely not what I was trying to express.We live on a small farm, not too many neighbors and not too many other dogs passing by but when an unfamiliar dog, cat, rabbit, or bird comes into their "territory", they become very protective and guarded, thats what I meant to say when I stated that they were totally dog aggressive. We load up the dogs and take them walking at a nearby park everyday where there are also other dogs and our dogs dont become aggressive to any of the dogs. They see the dogs and their temperments stay calm, and interact gently with them. We also take them to the beach weekly to run and swim, where there are also other dogs enjoying the same exercises and our dogs have never showed any type of aggression there either. We take them riding with us in the car alot and when we pass by all the pastures where the livestock are grazing right along the road, the dogs still maintain their composures. We would never take the dogs off the property where other animals were if there was the slightest hint of animal aggression. Our pack leader, the 5 yr old male, even helped raise our 6 wk. old pot belly pig, she slept in the folds of his tummy everynight with us in our bed til she outgrew the bed. They still hold their loyality to one another, 4 yrs later.

I will not breed any dog with signs of animal aggression. Many people have wanted to breed with our bloodline because they have seen what beautiful, well tempered dogs we have. I do not breed outside of our bloodline. Our purpose for "breeding" is to better the breed. We have turned down many people interested in obtaining one of our dogs as well because of their intentions for aquiring one was against our beliefs or they did not pass the many home inspections that we mandate before signing a contract for an agreement of sell.

It is unfortunate that the pitbulls have gained a bad reputation of being aggressive due to dog fighting. I believe all dogs have the aggressive behavior, not just the pitbulls, but it is up to the owner and the responsibilty of the owner to teach the dog not to be aggressive. So once again, my piits are not aggressive, they are territorial of their property and do an excellent job of safeguarding all our animals.

Thanks for the clarification. Dog aggression in Pits is more common and should, as you know, not be encouraged or passed on genetically. Your dogs sound like really nice dogs!

My dog is five and a half years old now. She's totally water obsessed! At the age of two, she was diagnosed with arthritis... That just shows you the results of bad genetics coming from backyard breeders. Do your research if you decide to get your dog from a "breeder". I learned the hard way.

I'm sorry, but you should be ashamed of yourself. Allowing such behavior and interaction between those two species. Can you not see the intense look of fear in that poor animal's face?


Setting such a young chick on that dog's head is a timebomb waiting to go off. Can't you see it in her eyes?





















Mom! This thing is gonna POOP on me!!! HELP!!!!!

I have had pits in my life before as well as dobermans. But I swear all 3 pitties I've ever owned were the BEST of the best dogs.

I have a pit mix (thinking lab or something) - who is now 10 and she is my baby - she was the runt of the liter and mistreated by mama dog and litermates - so I rescued her little ugly butt @ 5 weeks old and raised her. She had a deformed foot (two toes/nails grew in wrong) and she has a white splash on her eye - her only issue is she is food aggressive if I'm nowhere near - so she is only fed by herself in a kennel or when I'm nearby. - she won't push me at all.

I trained her in german and english the commands "Attack" - which means rush someone or something - and/or I'm in danger.(there is no physical contact in her 'attack' command - just the person she's running at is thinking there will be teeth - lol ) "Bite" - no explanation, "Hold"-hold bite/grip, "Release" - release, and "Evade" which means retreat and go around wide and come from behind. She knows hand signals to over a dozen commands as well.

I tell anyone who thinks a pit is mean or evil - Naomi was attacked and mauled by a fighting pitbull a few years ago - and on command she released this dog - endured pain on my command till I could get the other dog off her - and then let a 2 year old climb all over her and pull on her injured neck when she returned from the vet. This dog will do whatever I ask of her - she loves me and her other humans she'd do anything.

Naomi is my baby - she doesn't look much like a pit - but the mama dog was a over-sized APBT though - the daddy dog - hah some neighborhood scoundrel
