What does it take...

just keep in mind that at 8 months, reggin is still very much a puppy. dog-aggression often does not set in until around 2 years of age, sometimes earlier sometimes later. so while he's happy and amiable around your small dogs and around dogs at the dog park now, that very well could change in the future. i would stop taking him to the dog park and i would be sure that you're separating him from your other dogs when you're not there to supervise.

better to be safe than to have a tragedy on your hands that could have been avoided.

Thanks so much you guys!! This is helping a lot. I feel more confident about getting one in the future. My main worries were cat problems and DA (mostly cat problems) so I will most likely be getting like a three year old. I wish I could one now, but there is College an the fact that my entire family hates Pits.

Dog aggression may be the only thing that would keep me from getting one. Not that I'm worried about managing it in public, it would be that I would only be able to get one dog. So if when the time comes I only want one dog an know I will not get another then I may very well get a Pit. If the time comes and I know I want multiples then I will not get a Pit.

I love Boxers (I very much want one) it just seems they have horrible health. My cousin's dies at 4 or 5 years old. He was coming into the kitchen after his owner called him to get a treat and he just dropped dead in mid step.
