My wife and I rescued our first bully breed 3 months ago. His name is Cooper and we think he is a staffy/pitty boxer mix (?) The vet and rescue figured that is what he is.
Cooper came from California. We adopted him at Size Small Dog Rescue in Saskatoon, SK, Can.
He is ~5.5 months old and he has been great thus far. He is kennel trained, house trained, can sit, lay down, shake a paw, and fetch so far (working on roll over). He started to jump up on us so we are training him not to. He is allowed on a certain area of the couch when we allow him to come up.
He is currently going to a behavioral specialist that works will bully breeds as he had a bad experience with another puppy. The puppy attacked him and drew blood. He snapped back but retreated quickly. Ever since then he has been iffy around other puppies, growling at them but no biting. We want him to be the best dog possible so we are taking all precaution.
We do take him to the dog park for socialization and he has been great with no incidents either than when he plays with a dog he wants to walk with him even if he is going the opposite direction... He has an issue with coming when called upon and we are working on that. He regularly plays with larger breeds and does really well.
Glad to be a part of the forum and looking forward to learning as much as I can.
He reminds me of my boy Huggybear.
he is darling love his name
