Later this morning I am going to pay the adoption fee for a female APBT. She is calm, loving and very very friendly. Her foster family calls her "wiggle butt". We sat with her last night, she ignored the cats and was very submissive with the other dogs. Sure she could turn and attack another dog or a cat, but I believe training and understanding her place in her "pack" is crucial to helping avoid this. Her name is Tulip by the way..we are keeping that, it fits her personality!
I have been reading and learning about this breed for years, my older sister has 2 pit bulls. My 13 yo daughter was raised with the oldest, Sassyfrass. You have to supervise, understand and be willing to make your dog a shining example of the breed. Irresponsible owners are the problem, not the dogs.
I read somewhere that no "altered" pit has ever been involved in a mauling..dont know if its true, but if it is...one more of the many reasons we should spay and neuter!!!!!
We lost our beloved dobe, Sara, on September 3rd :sad3: . She was the sweetest dog I have ever known and it makes me laugh to think what a bad rep dobes once had.
I dont know..maybe Im taking a chance, but Tulip needs a home and I am in the position to give her one
In my area, the shelters are full to busting with pit mixes. Its sad all the way around.
