Re: Getting this Puppy Pitbull today
great looking little pup. welcome to owning a pit. things you dont want to do. dont let her do things now you dont want her doing when she is older. like getting in the bed. getting on the couch etc. blueedge has great advice. take her for a short walk you have to remember she is young she can go on longer walks has she get older. the best thing to do is wear her out take her outside and play. also get her some good food not some cheap walmart food.. i free feed all my dogs they eat less like that. one of my pits sleeps in bed with the wife and i.
you need any info on pits let blueedge and i know. get her some toys something for her to chew on nothing to hard..
Re: Getting this Puppy Pitbull today
Apbt549 is right, she needs high quality food. Blue buffalo and similar high protein brands are good but expensive. If u live near a feed and speed type store you can buy high quality dog food cheaper at those compared to pet store. Those farm supply type places carry hunting dog feed and if u look at ingredients they use good stuff in good ratios for fraction of what pet store cost, plus bags are much bigger. Pitbulls ears should stand up, the reason they flop is because when their in growth spurts their calcium drops and without food high in calcium they flop. Some stand back up once dog is about a year old. But if u keep good food in her it will definitely aid getting her ears to stand back up.

Cute pup. I am bad at names. I always name dogs with "human" names.
Re: Getting this Puppy Pitbull today
i feed my dogs fromm. i get it from an online place. they eat less food if they are getting food and not some filler like the cheap food have. you also might try getting her some blankets my dogs love blankets they will drag them around the house and lay on them. also put some blankets in the crate for her to lay on and never yell or scold her and put her in the crate leave the crate door open and when you put her in the crate give her a treat everytime 2 of my pits will walk right in there crate when i tell them its bed time the other male doesnt care about bed time hes not going in there with out little help. one huge thing about pits is they can be very stubborn you have to out smart them.
my first red nose female when she was a pup she would grab pine cones on morining walks and i didnt want her to bring those in the house so i would fight with her on the front porch trying to get it out of her month well that didnt go well. so started to bring a treat with me in my pocket and when i wanted her to drop the pine cone i would just pull out this treat and she would drop it..

This is a good opportunity for me to be able to dispell the myths of pitbulls. We have several elected officials who want to ban Pitbulls in the city. Bunch of assholes

Re: Getting this Puppy Pitbull today
Geez I hate when uneducated people try to control others. Pitbulls are often animal aggressive by nature but they are not human aggressive unless they are raised by irresponsible owners. Punishing the breed is denial of the bigger picture, many people should not own ANY dog. Being a responsible owner is a huge part of owning a working dog breed. I always kept a pad lock on my privacy fence and my dogs never left the yard without a harness/leash on them. When I walked one of my dogs that was animal aggressive, if someone walked my direction with another dog, I would steer clear or turn around, and often warn them from a distance my dog was animal aggressive and please not to bring their dog near mine. You would be shocked how many people would respond "my dogs not" and come towards me...wtf?? I've literally had to yell at people "do not come near my dog with your dog, my dog will kill yours!" And the ding-bats still come near....often they owned a dog much bigger than mine and I guess the thinking was their dog being bigger, that my dog wouldn't be a problem..
Not all pits are animal aggressive but some just have it in their Genes to be that way. Socializing them helps reduce this but being a responsible owner is the most important part. Pits are such wonderful pets, but their working dogs and need their exercise and attention or they will tear your house to shreds lol..jk kinda sorta
