I like Gemma. It looks like the name Pickles is sticking so far. She answers to Pickles, but we call her Honey too.

Pickles is cute!

Im getting used to it. She responds to it and theyve been calling her that at the rescue so it would prob be best to stay what is already in her brain. Pickles. Its funny, but I went into the shelter and went facebook live from inside her cage. Then someone at the shelter saw it on facebook and told an employee "hey he cant be videotaping inside of a cage!" hahaha...I was actuall trying to get her adopted into a good home until someone talked me into keeping her. Best decision ever. I have zero regrets. This dog is as amazing as the foster family said

Re: Getting this Puppy Pitbull today

blueedge summed it up. just because she has a red nose doesnt make her a high dollar pup who she was bred from or who is in her blood line makes her valuable. AKC and UKC dont recognize the AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER they recognize the staffordshire terrier. you have to do some digging into the pit bulls history and you will learn alot.

i dont and wont buy a dog because of the color of her or his fur i buy them because how she or he was bred.

Re: Getting this Puppy Pitbull today

Another note worthy characteristic of pitbulls, dominantly white dogs are BAD u cant register them due to the fact their plagued with genetic flaws one of the biggest being skin allergies. Due to back yard breedings many pits have skin allergies now, not just dominantly white dogs. 9 times out of 10 its CORN in their food. These gods can NOT have corn based feed. They need high quality meat based balanced diet. Thankfully many dog food makers now have some quality food. The big names pedigree ect are the worst offenders for selling crap food.
If your new pup scratches a lot, start a to get bumps on skin and or rubs hair off part of body from itching.. it is very likely she has allergies. Look for hidden corn in the ingredients of food. No corn gluten or any high fructose corn syrup ect.. your pup probably won't have any problems, but the allergies can cost u a ton of money at vet if you dont know changing food can fix the issue.

Re: Getting this Puppy Pitbull today

Not too concerned about the bloodlines, I just am so grateful for such a low stress puppy. My black dog put me through hell during his first year. It got so bad that I gave him away to 2 different families and failed at both places. He was an escape artist and no 6 foot fence could hold him. He was hell on wheels and now he is the best dog in history.

Re: Getting this Puppy Pitbull today

like blueedge said and what your doing good food goes along way. the game we are in this could not be so true and easy for us to understand. the dogs needs certain nutrients for his/her body to grow if they cheap food doesnt provide this they will eat more and when they eat more they will shit more pretty simple stuff. so the good food can give this in lets say one cup of food were the junk cheap food will take 3-4 cups of food because of all the fillers.. another thing you dont want to feed them esp a male is food with soy in it as it can effect your estrogen level..

so true with people breeding the hell out of these dogs just to make money and not culling or not breeding the ones with faults...

i got me a pure breed bull terrier from the number 2 breeder in the country. champion blood line the whole 9 yards. well since he is white he is allergic to everything under the sun and then some. so come to find out, it happens in the majority of white dogs. so no more white dogs for me. i could have made a ton off of studding him out but i didnt want to put the allergy back into the bloods. so i havent and wont breed him

Much respect for doing the right thing!
Am Staffs/pitbulls are supposed to be super healthy resilient dogs. But current trends towards bully breed type pits and exotic pocket pits are breeding the health clean out of these dogs. A good game bred pitbull or amstaff should live 15+ years, the new Bully style live 8 to 12 and the exotic pits live 4 to 6...!! Wtf I dont care how visually impressive a dog is, if u breed the life span right out of a dog, then you bred a crap ass dog. Sadly 95% of pit owners are not passionate enough to care about the dogs rich genetic history, having an impressive looking specimen had taken presidents over having a healthy life companion.

yep mine is going on 10 right now and he wont be around a whole lot longer i dont think. i had an american bull dog that lived to be 12. they dont live long at all for sure and that's one of the main reasons i have never gotten an english bullie
