I allow my 2 housedogs to wrestle and play. One is young female and Mikey is 2 and a half. But I don't let it get extreme. Mikey lets Havana grab him by the legs and shake like hell. But if she gets too close to his important things he backs her down. Play can turn aggressive quickly if one or the o...

I really doubt this as a mentally stable oriented pit bull couldn't care less about something grabbing their lips stranger or not. I do not mean this dog is unstable, but if it is brand new to the surroundings it is not completely oriented and is very unsure of itself. This makes for a bad situation...

This is possessive and not protective. While it is wonderful that the dog seems to really love you, this can be a serious problem where children are concerned. I would muzzle her immediately. You only just got the dog yesterday and it is too soon to allow her free reign of the house. She has to unde...

The tail is a most important tool for knowing how the dog feels. It is useful for knowing if he is happy or sad or even if he is alerting on another dog. The balance is off course the main use, but watch that tail to see what he is thinking. No one that is a serious owner of a pit would dock the tail.

I didn't catch if the person knew how the dog was bred. It is just my personal opinion that how the dog is bred has much to do with its emotional state and mental well being. For example if there is a man-biter in the ancestry, there is a higher incidence of biting. A heavily inbred animal is not as...

The boys are ok with the females and are fine with the rat terrier, just kinda way playful for an old lady like her (shes 13). And they are good with the cats and snuggle up to them, as a matter of fact my newest kitten kinda beats them up. LOL. But no matter how much I would like to see them get al...
