I used to be totally against ear cropping but then I saw how his came out and I like them. The only reason didn't kill my boyfriend for having them cropped was because we do plan on showing him. Some people dock their pit bull's tail but that is against the breed standard. They are supposed to have natural tails. Even though it can be used as a weapon.lol.I swear,that tail is like a whip. I was wrestling with Dante a while back and he gave me a black eye with his tail.

Our female Lab does that. Nothing worse than the "happy Lab" tail clearing off an entire coffee table of drinks, snacks, the tv remote, etc. :rolleyes:

What always cracks me up is then she whips around at the noise of everything going flying with this "huh? what happened?" look. :rofl:

You are so making me miss having a big dog. We had a rottie and that dog was like my "little" brother. I loved him to death. I love pits and I really want one. (we babysat one for a few days and she was an absolute doll baby). We want to get another dog when we eventually get a house, but I hear that pits can sometimes be animal aggressive even though they are not human aggressive. Just wondering since we have cats and a small dog.

Your dog is gorgeous by the way. I love his eyes. Anyone who says animals don't have emotions have never looked into a pit bulls eyes.

yea they can be animal agressive. But if you get a puppy and raise it with the animals you already have those animals will be family to the dog. We had 3 cats when we got Dante and now he loves cats. But other things like squirrels...he thinks are food.

Oh my goodness he is so cute!!! He looks like such a happy boy!

She was the most amazing dog I have ever come in contact with and she really made me want to get one when I move out and am living on my own, I don't think I would feel safe on my own without a dog.

I'm scared of any big dog around cats, not just pits. I know a greyhound and 2 standard poodles who have killed cats but they never grew up around them, it still scares me though. Do you think if I had a puppy and raised it around my cats a large dog would be fine with them?

Sorry for the question on your post, I am moving out in a couple months and am really thinking about a dog - I have never had dogs/cats mixed so I don't know how it works out. Our lab doesn't mind our cats when they are indoors (cats live in my room so she only seems them when my parents go out of town and she sleeps with me) but she attacks ones she sees in the yard.

You shouldn't have a problem with your puppy getting along with other animals if you socialize it properly. Make sure your pup meets everyone and everything. They are so curious about everything. I tell people that when we walk,Dante is reading the newspaper. He can tell what dog was right there,how many times it passed,sex of the dog,if it is pregnant,if its in heat,if it is sick...so yea..lol..it is like a newspaper to them.

Thanks for the reply, I know of a lot of larger dogs that are fine with cats but when those poodles killed my friends cat I've been scared of the idea of getting a dog. I talked to my mom about it (since I am renting one of her houses) and she seems to be okay with the idea of me getting a dog. I really want to try to adopt a pit bull puppy but I wouldn't mind a boxer either. I'll make sure and get it out a lot, we never did that with our lab and its impossible to take her anywhere now. She goes crazy over the sight of another dog and our neighbors at the end of the street have 5 outdoor dogs so its impossible to walk her even down the street

Aww he is adorable. What a big love bug.

Does he have a high toy drive? I have a Shar pei x pit bull mix and holy cow, she loves her toys. She has the same little toy basket ball she stole from my kids. She loves it.
