Excuse my question, I am not very familiar with Pitbulls. But aren't they said to be dog aggressive ? Doesn't that mean that they ahve to be the only pet in the house ?
4 u all pit lovers, I don't mean to say that Pits are bad ....
No problem....This is a common misconception. I have two Amstaffs (akc Pitbull) and they eat out of the same food dish (They each have their own but they tag team each dish). They have even shared the same rawhide together. They never argue but some times Athena is a little growly when Sal smells her butt when we first wake up in the morning, but can you blame her
.
It is all in how you raise them, my 65lb muscular intact Male Amstaff submits to my mother's 35lb Male Cockapoo everytime we visit her. My Amstaffs are excellent with other dogs because I have socialized them correctly. The guy who lives next door to me has a Pit bull he got from the humane society that doesn't seem to know what aggressive means. He was bitten by a Cocker Spaniel at the park and he just stood there and looked like someone threw cold water him, no aggression what so ever.
I have had "Pit Bull" experts tell me never leave your Pit Bull alone with another dog, but I leave my alone together every day and they have been left alone with my mother's Dog, My Brother's dog, and my Sister's two dogs and never had a problem. Althougth one time I left Sal alone with my Aunt's Shitzu (17year old) and when we came back Sal and Reggie were laying together and Sal had been licking him....he was all wet...but he seemed to like it, he followed Sal everywhere after that.
