Just got an American Pitbull
I just got an 8 week old American Pitbull he is a male named Apollol. He is white all over with a black spot over his left eye looks like petey from the little rasicals. The only thing right now is every time i look down he is running across the living room with a sox in his month he is chewing everything up. I will be posting some pics of him pretty soon as i get my digital camera fixed.

Re: Just got an American Pitbull
Congrats....just make sure that you train him well and check you local laws to make sure that they are ok to keep. I have never been too much of a Pitbull fan.....but American Bulldogs are awesome....look very similar to pits and have a little nicer attitude.

Re: Just got an American Pitbull
Pits rock. Some of the sweetest dogs are pits. (I meet a lot of dogs too, I'm a dog groomer)
Can't emphasize the importance of training and socialization enough, though! Make your dog a good ambassador for the breed.

I love pits! They're awesome. I saw a lot of them come through the vet clinic I worked at and they were all so sweet. They never even growled. Can't wait to see some pics. Good luck with that whole puppy stage. That's always loads of fun!

Re: Just got an American Pitbull
I live in the country so there is plenty of space for him. The laws for having a pitbull is you have to have insurance for them for where i live. I have two other dogs both female one has had pups so they are being two mothers to apollo. I have two younger brothers who play with the dog while i am work so when the dog gets older he will be used to everyone. I am going to wait untill he is about 4 months old to put him into classes with other dogs. (you know the sit, paw, play dead kind of classes)

Re: Just got an American Pitbull
That's cool; I always hate to see pits get a bad rep. I think that anytime someone like you, gets one and trains it to be a friendly pet, it just shows people that they're not all monsters. To prove my point: a friend of ours has a pit, and another friend has a rottie, and both of them are the most docile and friendly animals.
I would love to get a dog someday when we own our own house. I am dying for a big, dumb, friendly doberman

Re: Just got an American Pitbull
pits are good with people the problem is they are usually bad with other dogs and other animals. definitely make socialization an imperative. also buy him a crate- it will prevent him from chewing up your house, help with housebreaking and keep him out of harms way when not under direct supervision. good luck, sounds cute.

i love pits... but i agree wit everyone else, socialization is very important. it's a good idea, that when he's a puppy to introduce it to other dogs and also other people, especially younger kids.
good luck with him
