    He appear to be 2-3 years old (which is what the vet suspects) any horror stories on taking in a pit?

    any advice?

    thanks dudes




    Name is Hogan
    Thats a pretty boy. Good job on rescue.Mine is a rescue and the only 'horror story' i have is when we first got her and she was getting used to the house, she was chewing stuff. Get a kong and a nylabone for him to chew. Pits and pit mixes are athletic. They like to be outside, chasing a ball or just walking. Mine has taken to running next to me while i'm on my bicycle. Really good workout for her, and as a bonus if you run him on sidewalk/street, it will naturally wear the nails front and back. If you don't do that, he's going to probably rip stuff because pitties are strong in their limbs. If nails aren't trimmed then all it takes is for the dog to just be laying on a couch or bed, stretch and a nail catch and now you've got a gash in your fabric.

    Entering this thread at risk of being negged to oblivion because age but Im glad you saved his life, and you will be too. Pits are goofy, playful, loyal, high energy dogs that love being part of the family. They are very inept to emotion and have really human-like personalities. Get the basics down like house/obedience training, walking on leash, etc. and make sure he gets comfortable with his new environment. Exercise is essential (i walk my pit Hughbert at least an hour a day) and if you can intro him to other dogs and animals to see how he does. Contrary to popular belief, very few pits are actually aggressive. Mine isnt, and when I volunteered at a Pit bull only shelter none of them were even though they had **** lives before rescue. So anyway great choice, they are the best dogs
    Starting stats: 5 ft 10 in
    150 lbs
    15% bf
    Current: 154 lbs

    UNFORTUNATELY out for multiple strains

    Healing to 100%, then I restart bulk

    As of right now, Im not gonna make it

    I was always weary of pits to be honest. Never saw myself EVER owning one but f*ck, that dogs save was just screaming " someone help" so at first I just donated $100 to keep him alive. Them I got some friends to donate. So we made it to $600 to save his life. Then I thought I've already done so much for him why not just foster him until he's healthy. I work in orthopedic surgery so I'm familiar with external fixation, medication, rehab and dressing/ bandages so it was a perfect match. So I paid the additional $$$ to save his leg. Went out and bought the fancy dog food, bowls, crate and toys.

    Then I met him and was shocked at how he walked over and sat on my feet like he knew I paid $$$ to save his life & leg and like he knew he was coming home with me.

    I have 7 APBT right now. Owned 9 in my life and am into working them for shows; conformation, weight pull, and treadmill races. Any questions you have about them, just ask.

    Being in WV and it not looking like a bully, you probably have a solid dog from decent blood. Srs

    "Pits" are terriers so expect for him to be energetic. And regardless what people tell you, they are more than likely going to be animal aggressive. They've been bred for bloodsport for over 200 years. It's not something that is forgotten in a generation of breeding. Some are calmer but never expect a pit not to fight. Take precautions and you'll be ok. They might not start it, but they'll end it. Most pit attacks are from people that don't know the breed history and think they are just like every other dog. If you approach it like that, you'll have problems.

    promise that little guy will continue to change your mind about the breed as long as your willing to put in the work on your end which you obviously are since you've already done a lot. any idea on if the leg will ever be 100% again?

    my dog is a female pitbull about 9 months now fixed at 6 months. parents went away on vacation and it was just me and the dog and i broke her of most of her bad habits by being consistent with my training. they came home about a week ago. just recently like last night and the day before shes been trying to hump me clearly a sign of dominate behavior. i have been slacking on getting her out of the house and exercised this past week where last week i was getting her out 2-3 hours daily. any suggestions or do you think exercise will solve most of it.

    pitty owner crew checking in

    while theres a chance he was dumped for no good reason at all (such as too timid to guard/fight), always keep in mind the possibility that he was dumped by an incompetent owner for some kind of behavioural hangup they didnt know how to fix. watch everything he does closely to understand the individual

    also make sure all the introductions are slow and gentle - kids, other animals, adult strangers, and especially other dogs. hopefully you have some experience with other dogs and know enough about dog body language to stop a situation before it goes bad. otherwise it might be worth finding someone (trainer) to help test that stuff out for you. identifying stuff early means he wont end up getting punished for your ignorance to his past

    anyway good job OP. friend for life if you do everything right

    Once you get a pit, you see that all that b.s you hear about this is just that. There is nothing about my dog that is violent towards humans. She's not even really violent toward dogs but she's strong compared to her size/mass. She doesn't bite but every now and then she'll accidentally get a mouth full of arm. I can tell that if she really wanted to, she could mangle a limb. Pits are surprisingly fast too. And generally they are smart, train easy. They are almost too smart, get hardheaded...almost have an opinion on things, sometimes that can be a hindrance to trainin

    Fixing a dog won't change their mature behavior. Most likely, she's entering that *teen* phase. Exercise will help A LOT. A tired dog is a happy dog. When I slack on exercising mine, they get restless, destructive, clingy, and if they are put up in my above ground kennel without work for a couple days, nippy.

    Look up how to make a flirt pole. It's the best conditioning tool I have. I also have a dog treadmill and a weight pulling cart. But for $5 you can make a flirt pole. That and a ball will wear your dog out.

    Walk her until she goes to the bathroom, do about two 2 minute sessions with the pole and walk her until she's not breathing heavy. You'll be surprised how much bang for your buck you'll get doing a 5 minute pole session. Do it in grass and check the pads after. Add time as needed.

    No horror stories only awesome stories brah. My pit is really smart but like I've been told by some other pit owners they're pretty stubborn and hard headed (figuratively). Be patient but firm when training them. They also have a ton of energy so when that leg heals make sure to work him out daily or else he'llwaist his energy by destroying your household items. Would buy you a beer irl for what you're doing.

    Walk her until she goes to the bathroom, do about two 2 minute sessions with the pole and walk her until she's not breathing heavy. You'll be surprised how much bang for your buck you'll get doing a 5 minute pole session. Do it in grass and check the pads after. Add time as needed.
    i made her a spring pole not high off the ground because i was worried about her joints since shes a pup and to be honest thought it might make her aggressive watching her hang from the thing lol. ill defiantly look into that and get her back out on walks (actually got her out for a half hour this morning before work) thanks for the advice.

It shouldn't be a problem though if you clip his nails regularly. I'd start doing it right away so he gets use to you clipping his nails otherwise your dog could end up hating it like mine and then it becomes a very stressful battle every time.

    Truth. They are unlike any other breed I've worked with. They know what they like, and what they don't like. It's a pain trying to get a stubborn dog into shape. I have some that run the mill, and others that despite it. Some will do sprint and bite work, others that will only do an exercise for a short amount of time.

    Hell, I had to basically carry one dog after walking half a block because he hates it, but will work a pole until his pads rip off.

    Lol.. no a spring pole is fine. I've used them before but prefer playing tug o war with them myself. It should be high enough they have to reach for it, but are able to pull it down so their front legs can touch the ground. It won't make a dog aggressive and is a great way to teach them to breathe properly if they are tired and carrying something in their mouth.

    It's all about how you raise a Pit. Mine recently had to be put down because she was so old, but she was such a great dog. Got her when she was a puppy. Raised her around small children, had a kitten at one point. She was always playful and very lovey. Great dogs if you raise them correctly. Never had any issues. RIP my pit.

    This is great. It breaks my heart to see any animals hurt or abused. I grew up on a farm and saw life and death on a regular basis but for some reason having been desensitized to human "things" that go wrong, it kills me still to this day to see animals mistreated or hurt probably just because they can't reason or comprehend like we do.

    Bravo for doing what you did.

    As far as "horror" stories, I wouldn't focus so much on the breed. Its really individual and is more of a nurture versus nature type thing but a lot of people may be a bit reserved when they see your pitbull. I would think about doing obedience classes and socialization classes, at least to see how the dog acts, and then just make sure its ok with a hand reaching for its food and other "protective things. Congrats on your new dog.

    cute dog OP wouldpet/10

    never heard of any horror stories personally, a couple of my friends own Pits and they are very friendly dogs, not really any different than other dog breeds, i hate how their reputation is jeopardised because there are a lot of fukheads out there using them as tools/weapons

    My advice: Get him tested ASAP for fleas, nematedos (roundworm), tapeworm, and if not already rabies and fleas. Last thing lots of people want to think about when they get their cute new dog but there are a lot of parasitic arthropods and diseases dogs can transmit to humans so get that checked.

    OP: kinda OT, but if you are only feeding one dog there is a really cheap raw diet. I use it during show season and it costs about $0.26/serving.

    Buy a bag of chicken quarters
    Large tub of lard
    50lb bag rice
    Cheap human multi

    Feed per day:
    1/2 chicken quarter
    1c rice
    1Tbs lard
    1/2 multi

    You can add some other things if you want but this is good for about a 35-50lb dog.
