In my experiences with them they have been very good dogs. They are also the perfect size for what im looking for right now, are inexpensive in my area, and i love the look of them.
I want a third dog and id really like something larger than what i already have, however im not big on labs or golden retrievers or similar dogs, and if i get a more naturally aggressive breed there is a safety concern there for my other small pups. Basically i want to know if anyone can tell me if im worrying too much or if this really might not be a great idea. [/quote]
All I’m getting from this is “I want a bad ass guard dog”. Am I correct?[/quote]
Forgive me, ill pick something a little more feminine next time. You’ll have to undertand, im trying to compensate for my micropenis…
I have 2 fufu girly dogs already and i love em, but now i need some raw power to balance em out. Think what you want of that. [/quote]
I didn’t know that owning a type of dog made you more or less masculine/feminine.
I think you’re a moron, and I guess I nailed it on the head.

LOL if thats not what you were implying then what was the point of your useless “badass guard dog” quip?
I suppose people like you view everyone who owns pets with such reputations as using them for that purpose.
Im 6’3, 270lbs, what the fuck do i need a guard dog for?

Im really getting the itch to buy a third dog, unfortunately i dont think i have the space for the rottweiler i wanted so i was thinking of compromising with an American pit bull terrier. I have friends with pitbulls that are awesome and my older brother used to have one but theyve either been the only dog in the household, or had other large, mollosser type dogs living with them.
My girlfriend and i have 2 cavapoos, each is about 16-17 lbs. One is a year, the other 1.5 years. My main concern is how will a pitbull be growing up with these dogs. Obviously if a pit ever attacked one of the cavapoos they wouldnt have a chance so this is a big concern as i dont want to come home one day and have to perform a revenge-killing on my pit.
Will he grow up getting along just fine with both dogs if he is raised with them from a puppy? He would be socialized well with people and dogs from the time he is a puppy. Any pitbull owners that can share any personal experience here?
Thanks.[/quote]
LOL. This made me think of this.
Sergio: Sergio gonna be fine, fuck a recession!
I own 20 cookaroos
Woman in background: 21 cookaroos
Sergio: I own 21 cookaroos
Yall don’t own one cookaroo
Not one
Yall are fucked
I’m near getting a pitbull of my own.
I’ve been around plenty of well-socialized pitbulls and I really feel the owners get credit. A strong and patient owner is needed for these dogs and the pay off in the years to come is irreplaceable. Great dogs.

My experience has been heavily slanted towards people getting those kinds of dogs for the purpose of trying to look/feel badass or having a guard dog of sorts. If I misread you; my bad.

I had a border terrier in school…and for some reason people kept asking if he was a baby pit bull when I would be seen walking him.
Now I have a pit…and no one asks me shit anymore.

A lot do, but I just love the breed. Extremely loyal and sweet, instantly without hesitation would go to their death for you and tear themselves to pieces to protect you.
That being said - they are the thing a criminal should fear the least at my house. You should be more worried about the 300 lbs. psycho with his armory.

audiogarden1,
Meet Stanley, my 3 y.o. Pitbull Terrier. Like you, I had Rotties before. Best advice I can give you I think you have already received; DO NOT get the same sex. My two Rotties, both females, were about 4 years apart and had issues at times. Great around the wife and kids but it was a power play between them.
Don’t let this out to the home invaders but Stanley is a Mommy’s Boy, a real sissy that the cat beats up on. But he is a good guard dog. He can hear the kid’s bus coming and we live 600’ off the road and through the wood. His job is to let me know if someone shows up at 2:00 a.m., I’ll take it from there if you know what I mean.[/quote]
Well going to be kind of hard not to get the same sex since i already own one male and one female dog…[/quote]
Maybe then you should wait. Do what you will and I wish you the best.

Nope, the 5’-8" 160 lb crackhead looking for his next fix. Like I said, the dog just has to let me know, I’ll take it from there.

I don’t see how a pit bull is a compromise for a rottweiler. If you had specific reasons for wanting a rottweiler then I don’t see how you would make a pit bull your next choice unless what you want from the dog has changed.
Also, how much space do you think a rottweiler will actually take up? You also mention price. How much were you going to spend on the rottweiler because I can tell you that if you were prepared to spend over 2K then you were not planning on getting a good rottweiler. You should be thinking about getting the best dog you can, not the cheapest. A pit bull is not a less expensive, smaller version of a rottweiler.
I also don’t understand what you mean by “more naturally aggressive breeds” and I don’t think you understand either. You might want to learn a lot more about dogs before getting another one. [/quote]
A pit bull is a compromise. I dont have the money or the space for a rott right now. Pitbulls are a smaller, cheaper molloser breed. If you are still not understanding, grab a dictionary.
And pitbulls are naturally dog-aggressive breeds. It is a fact. Many mollosser type dogs are. Its not even really debatable…
What is with T-Nation always trying to spin the simplest thread into a shit-show? Its almost to the point of being pathetic. [/quote]
A pitbull is not a mollosser.
Next, you kind of answered your own question.
Dog aggression is in the breed in abundance. So, your mileage may vary. For every success story you might hear here (which is only anecdotal anyway), you won’t be changing the the breed’s propensity for aggression. You might get luck, or you might come home one day to a dead dog. No one can tell you differently.
A pitbull will sometimes do okay opposite sex. Pitbulls CAN be very versatile, even getting along with cats. There just isn’t a black and white answer to your query, and no, it’s not always “how they are raised, socialized or otherwise conditioned” - not always.
I wouldn’t do it unless the pitbull will be segregated and not a housedog with the other foo foo dogs. But that’s just my calculus. \
Good luck.

And you would be wrong when it comes to an american pitbull terrier.
That’s not to say environment, socialization, etc. is not a factor, but genetics and drive can trump it.
Moreover, the larger issue is this; if a pitbull will be a grave danger to another dog in your home (based on age, size, etc.) it only takes a single “disagreement” when you’re not home for you to lose that other dog.

It still depends on how they are raised and trained. Ceasar Milan has an entire enclosure full of pitbulls that get along fine with one another.
I will agree though that their determination and outiright ferocity trumps any other dog I have ever seen. To win a fight with a pitbull, you will literally have to end its life. They don’t give up and they don’t know the meaning of quit or backdown once in full go mode.
Any dogs can get into it, just many breeds do not have the physical prowess or power of a pitbull.
This is my favorite use of pit bulls…
