Pitbull owners GTFIH

[Violetbrah]

Miscers who own pitbulls, i am considering getting one in the future and want to know a little more about having a pit as a pet, is there any cons to them? i wouldn't be one of those owners who gives PB's a bad name, i'd be training it so it would be obedient and spending a lot of time with it. any advice is appreciated.

fuking epic dog, 1:04 is insane beyond words.

[smokinal]

Oh, well, you would be training it so you would erase all of it's hereditary dispositions.....right....

[GnarlySheen]

Never owned one but couple friends have had them. Theyre probably the one of the most friendly breeds of dogs ever. srs. I want one.

[QB_Killa]

I own a Pit. They fart all the time and it smells pretty bad.

You're an idiot, it's not the dogs that fuked up its the idiot owners who don't know/don't want to take care of and train them.

How strong are they? i was watching some videos of them pulling 6300lb which is disgustingly strong for a dog that size, anything else that should be known? i also live on acreage so space isn't a problem

i don't mind about the smell, they make up for it in badassness, are they a good dog to have?

theyre strong, fast too.... but pulling 6300 lbs? uhhh

Negged. The negative reputation of Pit Bulls is not hereditary, its the fact that tough guy wannabe ***gots get them and train them to be mean.

[michvlamar]

very stubborn breed (hard headed) both literally and figuratively. Tons of energy, if you dont run, you might wanna start. Very smart, and very loyal. Mine follows me around the whole house. Hes very defiant(especially when he hasnt gotten any exercise for a couple days) but ive been strict with him so he knows whos boss. If you want an easy dog to train get a labrador, but if your ready to put in some work get a pit, and you wont regret it.

vids for proof? i was amazed.. for real.

This. so many ignorant people these days think that dogs are like that because of their breed, it's the fuking owners.

[DualRectifier]

They are sweet and friendly. They do need to be socialized to children when they are young. They do not understand young children, especially the fast and loud actions they take. If you ever hear about a pitbull attack in the news, it's always a small child.

They are great dogs, but the only problem with them is that when they fight, they fight to the death (even if socialized to children). That is what has been bred into them. I had a couple of issues with mine early, but I learned to get him under my command (which involved "breaking" him about two or three times) and he was the sweetest, most obedient dog in the world for the rest of his life.

People are very prejudiced about those dogs. If you live in an apartment complex, forget it. They will circulate a petition to kick you out. I would be walking my dog and women would jump up on a car hood as he walked by (srs). Without him barking or being aggressive at all.

They are clownish, but kind of aloof. When they want to play, they really just want you to help them play--they don't really want to play with you, if that makes sense. Hard to explain. They are not terribly affectionate like a lab or golden retreiver.

This breed is one of the greatest dogs out there, but they are not for everybody.

Yeah mines pretty chill. He's fine with people/other dogs unless they start barking at him then he goes fukin crazy I guess he's just alpha like that can't have some other dog talking sh!t. I know him so I find it funny when people are scared of him but you do have to be responsible and appreciate that he's a big powerful animal and people might not want him running up to them.

This. Just like basically all terriers they're more of a pain in the ass to train than other dogs. I had them growing up but dont now because I dont really have the space to give one the kind of life it would want. Still have a terrier though(wire fox) because terriers are always fun. And you have to boss as hell with em. And for the dogs sake dont let him roam off of your land. Some *******s will assume if theres a pit roaming they have the right to kill it.

what do you mean you had to "break" him 2-3 times? can you give me a quick rundown. there are no small children around where i live (fairly rural area, 5 acres) but we do have another male cattle dog, if a pit was bought as a pup (after the 8 weeks with the litter of course) and raised here would there be problems in the future or would they be comfortable around each other?

i can't believe women would get on cars to avoid your dog... is this real life?

sick dog, cute as fuk. is there any specific way to train a pit so it looks jacked? like this;



not for intimidation purposes, that is really not what i'm trying to achieve, i'd just want it to be a very strong healthy big dog.

[InnerThighChafe]

My brother breeds pit bulls, just make sure you have a lot of visitors when your dog is young. So it will be used to different people, besides yourself. Other then that, they're the greatest dogs. Very protective of its owner.

[michvlamar]

for those unaware the reason why pits are used for fights is not because of their aggression.

they are very determined dogs, if they have something in mind they wont stop til they pass out
example: when mine was a pup he was scared to walk because of the sound of the cars scared him. I once used a choker coller on him because he would try to run back to the house. He nearly choked himself out but didnt stop till i walked him back to the house.

they are an amazingly athletic breed: my dog has crazily defined hind legs, hes quick strong and all this done with little athletic training.

they are very loyal: they will die for their owners.

tough: ive had dogs who have gotten hurt playing or messing around (ran into stuff). THey yelp or slow down. My pit has taken some epic hits, and simply shakes it off and is back to full force. It amazes me how he just keeps going.

OP if you want a pit be patient and be ready to put in work. This is the first pit I have and if hes not getting attention he'll find a way to get it.(have lost pairs of shoes 2 cellphones and a tv remote because of this). After tons of training hes obedient and a great dog. Would not want to own any other breed.

That doesn't look like a Pit to me I dunno. Pit's are supposed to be lean and ripped, the chunkier dogs are usually mixed with something else, remember Pit's have been bred for function not aesthetics.

[NumB808]

pretty much everything thats been said so far is right on the money....best dog ive ever owned but needs a lot of attention...i take him to the park/jog every day and if i dont he gets very restless. very strong...loyal as fuk....hes my #1


edit: make sure you socialize him/her

Yeah i am at home a lot of the day anyway so it wouldn't be a problem, i love going outside and playing with the animals anyway. we also cook home made meals for our dogs, rice/vegtables/meat basically like a big soup, would feeding him personally gain respect?

if you've watched the video in OP, that dog is perfect in size, would do anything to have a dog that could do things like that.

any stories/tips/things to know?

[Goby]

I live with one (not mine) but it's the most friendly dog I've ever met. It barks if someone comes but never really gets angry.

Personally I don't like the look but it's still a pretty friendly/cool dog.

is his/her dog protective or does it have to be taught into them?

from the books ive read about the american pitbull terrier, they are suppose to way around 65-90 lbs. Like the guy I quoted above, the thicker ones have been mixed with other breeds to make them bigger.



if you look at pictures in books about american pitbull terriers this is the typical body type for the dog. Very lean and muscular. Not too thick or to low to the ground.

[dbh332]

If you train them well they are very obedient. Also they need a nice backyard an dont put anything in the backyard that you dont want ruined because they will chew on anything.

[samscar]

the only con with my dog is he likes to play and will annoy me to go play. Hes 90 lbs and will rip your ****ing dick off if you **** with him, but at the same time is a big baby who sleeps in my bed.

any idea on the cross breed that i posted earlier of the jacked pit?

i have a massive yard, this is my front yard and its just as big behind me, so that's definitely not a problem.

hows their hairloss? i would rather a dog that doesn't shed his coat a lot and remains fairly tidy.

I think an American bulldog would be closer to the look you want.

why would a bulldog suit me more? how are they different from pitbulls, honest question im not too aware

[michvlamar]

[QUOTE=QB_Killa;752053203]I think an American bulldog would be closer to the look you want.

most likely this. The dog you posted in the video on the op is built pretty much like the ideal apbt. Like i said in one of my other post they are naturally lean and muscular. Im guessing with some weight training you could get them more muscular but most of these pits that you see weighing around 110 to 120lbs have been bred to be that size. Someone correct me if im wrong but ive read that a lot of the bigger sized pits have been mixed with the mastiff breed.
