You are most likely correct! Never met one in person, but looking at google I can see they are a handsome breed. And I can see they are small working dogs. They do remind me a bit of my Jack Russel Terrier, which although ended up being a good dog 7-14 years old, I was miserable with him...

Pitts all the way!!! They have the best temperament around kids, have the most fun at the dog park. When we go camping he can carry his own water, food, and bedding. And mine has been the easiest to train out of every dog I've ever owned. Now that I have experienced the joy of owning one, I am...

Banning fat people from eating hamburgers vs Banning stupid people from buying pets. Both are one group of people asking for changes that directly affect a 2nd group of people simply because they don't agree. Both are equally a waste of time. Fat people will just buy lunches from multiple...

Fixed for ya. :lol-sign:

My Atlas was a big hit at the dog park party with his 4th of July stars on. :D Thanks for the tips! Worked great.

The link no longer works :(

I've noticed my Pitt is changing as he gets older too. As a puppy he was always submissive and happy-go-lucky. I never had any problems with him at all. but now at 10 months there have been some changes. Last week a person brought a great dane "in heat" and he actually tried to mount her. he's...

My dog's drying routine after getting out of the shower or bath. YouTube - Atlas after his Shower Post yours! :rofl1:

I'm not sure what mine is. Common consensus is an American Pit - American Bulldog mix. But he gets along perfect with my 3 year old. He is very protective and let's my son rough house with him all day long. Never a hint of aggression or a single problem ever. In fact quite the opposite, this dog...

Thanks. I did read them. Had no idea people even disagreed with him. I agree that he uses punishment and negativity when the dog does bad, but I also see him constantly reinforce good behavior with praise and affection. That is just the last thing, not the first. And I don't see punishment as a...

Thank you for the links! Much appreciated and read everything. I didn't find anything very interesting in there though. Just a lot of bashing and half-truths. Even the comments at the bottom of the articles were more accurate than the articles themselves, hehe. No one ever suggests beating your...

I could less about respect. BUT I have trained my dog the same exact way and have had awesome results. If you have any information contrary, I would be very interested. My relationship with my dog is VERY important and I love to read. Shoot me a link or two.

If I cared enough to spell check I would have, thanks. A dog pulling on the leash means it's taking you where it wants to go. It may not be a big deal to you, but it's a big deal to them (the dog). It means that you (the leash holder) are submissive to your dog and subject to it's whims...

I don't know if I'm a fan of the Orange and Blue Striped one, but it could just be the brick background throwing me off. The red one with the X's though is sexai though!!! And your dobermans are completely gorgeous.. WOW WOW WOW... I can see now why you have 3.

I had this problem too. I think it's either intelligence or hard headedness, hehe. Probably both. But mine would dance just outside of range when he didn't want to go home "just yet" either. He also would do what I call a "welcome bark" when a dog was approaching from outside that he especially...

Good rant! Not specifically for Pugs but small dogs in general would be my rant also. The worst trained dogs I ever see are Chiawawa'a (spelled wrong I'm sure) and it seems people think this little tiny dog wanting to bite your face off is "cute"... Makes me sick! Just because your dog is small...

Thanks! It's funny you mention that. The owner did keep her on leash the whole time. It was her first time and he wanted to make sure it was a positive experience and see how she reacted to other dogs there. She did just fine, but she did seem to intimidate the other pitts there. And I have...

Darn.... I was hoping I finally found conclusive evidence of his 2nd mix. I suspect you guys are all right. Every single picture I see of a Dogo, they have a jet black nose and are much bigger than my pup. And the one at the park was a good 3-4 inches taller. What a gorgeous dog though it was...

Cool forum you guys got going here, very good info all round. :hail: So I got this rescue dog when he was 3 months old, his name is Atlas. I friggin love him! Best dog I have ever owned. Being a rescue I'm sure he is mixed.. but with what??? I was leaning towards american pitbull and was...
