pit bull help please

[steve_r34]

That's the people that run the place that don't want those breeds there . My thing is counties go a lot harder also I'm starting to get nervous that it maybe growing down there n the last thing I need is to get settled and some years down the way I get a knock on more talking bout it's a law now . Cause then there's gonna b a real problem

I know several pit owners that get their dogs into banned breed apartments by calling them lab mixes.

And they would be the trash that makes those of us that are responsible owners look bad.
Be honest, upfront and tell them why they wont get your money.

Pit u are right we should b up front about everything but sometimes in this day and age people make it extremely hard for some .
And me honestly would never do that . I take pride on being a ABPT. Owner and I try to teach and educate whoever I can that people destroyed the breed and that there nothing like what others describe . I convinced 2 people in my lifetime witch were my parents . They were all for how pit bulls kill people and shouldn't b here only about 5 years ago . When I was 20 I brought my first bully home the cutest pup . I went to the store to get dog food was gone for 15 min and when I came back my dog was gone . My father thought the 9 week old pup was gonna kill everyone in the house cause it was a pit . Now my dad fights right along side of me when it comes time to defend . Totally off topic but it came to my head . I'm actually proud of him for that . And myself 2 for always proving my dad wrong on the breed. It's funny tho . They ran into a situation and I let them move in with us .and when. I come home from work it's the funniest thing to see my pop napping on the couch with 2 pits sleeping on him..

It also helps to have your dog CGC tested or ADBA Safe Dog evaluated....to help show that your dog is a stable animal, when having to convince someone. Certainly doesn't hurt. Good luck in your search.

If you're searching for a house and not an apartment, try realtor.com. Militarybyowner.com is another good resource. You don't have to be military to use it, but it is primarily used by military folks listing their homes for sale or rent. And military people are, in general, more open minded about allowing pets, including pits.

I'll add my voice about South Texas, too. Really, any part of Texas is nice, but South Texas can put you close enough to the ocean to enjoy it, and realestate is generally cheaper than near the giant urban centers like Dallas. The weather can't be beat, although it gets pretty hot in the summer. And one really big plus....no state income tax.

Florida has its perks...we own a house there, as I mentioned before. But I've never lived in a state with more bureaucratic hoops you have to jump through just to accomplish simple tasks like getting a driver's license or enrolling your kids in school....or owning a beautiful dog like a pit bull. Nice place to visit, but I don't ever plan on living there again.
