I origionally found this forum through a debate with game dog (lets not go there that is just how I found the forum) I have owned American Pit Bull Terriers and American Staffordshire Terriers for almost 16 years ( I got my first APBT when I was 10 years old as a gift from my parents ) I recently bought a Collie that I plan to do Agility and Rally with, maybe conformation not sure on that yet though. The Collie is the first dog I have actually owned ( not counting temporary rescue dogs ) that is not a "pit bull" breed. I am a dog groomer and have been grooming 7 years. I hope to one day be a dog trainer. Oh and I live in Ohio.
