[betty]

i would like to introduce the newest member of my family to yall!

his name is STUKA!!!






he is a 6 week old pitty/bull masstive puppy
i wanted a cool name that no one else would ever think of, with a little help from coprhead aka 5pointOh, he suggested "stuka". i LUV'd the name so he is stuck with it.

[Treize69]

Wow, with that combination, he could be huge. Nice.

Nice mutt Betty!!

 the PB bull mastif cross is known as an american banddogge! common crosses are male pitbull with female Bull mastif,Neomastif and english mastif.Although other crosses with different breeds do occur.A vet by the name of Swinford started to develope this type of dog in the early 60's long before the pitbull was a common breed.He wanted a tough working dog that could be comanded "out" of an aggressive situation.

 Stuka looks like an excellent example and you'll need to be firm with him at all times,he'll luv all the more if you are!

[betty]

wow! cool ty for the info!

his dad is pure akc registered pitt and the mom is pitt and bull mastif. he is a VERY smart dog, for him bein 6 weeks old he has the potty training thing down pretty good so far and i have only had him since thursday night! he luvs the kids and seems to be pretty social.

i will make sure to stay firm with him..thanx again!

[Shuffler]

hmm did not know AKC registered pits.

Hopefully your kids will survive your choice of pet.

[morfiend]

Oh shuf,comon!! I've raised bullterries for 30 years and children too.A well bred dog is no threat to children when raised with them and supervised.If the truth be know any well bred pitbull will show no human aggression whatsoever,it was in fact culled from the breed.

It's only been the past 10 or 15 years that every "tough guy" had to have 1 and that resulted in poor bredding and terrible dogs.

 If Betty is firm but gentle and doesnt let "stuka" get away with stuff there is no reason she can't have a safe dog.Every puppie start out life the same it's what we as owners do or dont do that make a dog unsafe.

 I said supervised for a reason,young dogs can become over sealous and unintentionally hurt a small child and no dog should be unsupervised around kids.

^ Voice of reason there.

Most loyal and cooperative dogs I've ever been around save a Border Collie. Now those dogs are pure genius. Porter (the pit) wasn't too happy when I cut my hair...my point with that, if you're not "family" don't go messing around with their "parents". A well trained and cared for pitbull is more alarm system than any of the major manufacturers could ever come up with. Extremely effective and doesn't go off unless absolutely necessary. As a side note, I had a friend who got his house more or less looted a few years ago. We all knew that it was someone who the dog was familiar with because there wasn't a bad guy with a dog latched to him in the house. So the dog knew the person who decided to take advantage of said friend. Hence why she didn't tear him a new one even though he was toting crap out of the house.

the puppy will be raised with my kids, being that i am a single mom with a teenage daughter, i have NO problem being firm with him. i do let my kids correct him also, they are a big part of his training because he will then grow up to respect them and protect them as he will do for me also. he will also be a social dog, one that will be great with other animals no matter how big or small.

the thing that makes me angry about "stereo typing" of pitts is that NOT all of them are mean, you dont blame the breed, you blame the owner. any dogs can be mean, no matter what breed they are, its just a matter of how they are trained.

morfiend, seriously thank you for the info, in the past i have had friends that have pitts and they was all raised with children and really well behaved dogs, i know that with his breed i have to be firm or i will lose total control over him period. my dog that i had for 14 years was samoid chow and husky, he was an awsome dog. he was my first kid. he died because of the dog food recall. he very well could have been mean also. he had a temper but knew better than to go after me, my kids were able to climb all over him like a jungle jim. i plan to train stuka the same way i did reef.

Your choice.... like I said hopefully nothing happens. If it does your dealing with an animal with a biting force of 2000 pounds. Just recently here another child was killed when 2 pits that ran in the neighborhood.... had never bothered anyone.... decided to attack. Another attack recently featured a frail little lady attacked by three of them. Granted the illigals strolling through our borders love to fight them but the ones attacking are not the ones trained to fight.

Many dogs in groups will act different so it is not necessarily just the pit. They are just better known for attacking humans.


I love dogs and lean towards sled breeds. I'm just one that would never risk having a pit. Good luck.

[betty]

well shuffler..everyone has their choices right

i watch the dog whisperer, usually if there is a dog that is the alpha dog *pack leader* if you will, the others will follow. dogs dont like to attack, they rather be loved and taken care of. the other idiots that train pits to fight are the ones that are giving pits the bad rep. like i said before, you can NOT blame the breed, you have to blame the owner. any dog can be mean, hell, huskies can be mean, they are a sled dog, my samoid chow and husky TRIED once to bite me and found it was not in his better judgement.

I can understand the concern Stuka is not a first time dog owners dog.

 That said,shuf,the dogs were running free correct? That is the problem,not the dogs the owners.
People who own a dog that is over 30 or 40 lbs own an animal that can do tremendous harm! I dont care what breed it is they all have teeth and can move faster than me.

 Just look at dog bite stats,you'll find that the dogs that make headlines arent even in the top 10 to bite.You know"dog bites man,not news,man bites dog,thats news" well if a lab or poodle bites it doesnt make the news but every Pitbull or Rottie attack is front page.

 You said yourself,so I know you understand,dog behave different in groups and what starts as a game soon turn to a blood bath.That just how they survive,cant blame them,the owners on the other hand should be punished as harshly as possible.


 Betty,Stuka could very well be over 80 pounds,even 100 thats alot of dog

[Slash27]

You should introduce Stuka to Max one of these days. My evil maneating Rottweiller.

Good looking dog betty, hope you have a large pooper scooper.
