Pit Bull Hugger!
As you can see I love the American Pit Bull Terrier. I find this breed to be an amazing animal. I have three dogs a lab a lab mix and of course an APBT. I answer questions the best way i know how and often rather you like it or not with the most truth. I dislike breeders who breed for money and have a extreme hate for breeding purpose breeding mutts. I will usually answer any questions about APBT if i can't answer it, I will star it in hope of another contact helping you. I have studied the breed for many years before i got my own and feel I know this breed very well.
Male dog going nuts..any suggestions?
Hello everyone!
So here is my problem. I have 4 dogs 2 males 2 females everyone is fixed minus one male who goes in to be neuter in two weeks, He is 2 years old I got him from animal control. Well he has always been an excellent boy but since I got my other male dog fixed Dec-9th he will not stop humping one of my spayed female dogs.
He is like obsessed with her. If he gets near her or she moves he is on her licking her and humping the air. He has lived with us for a year now and never bothered her then a week after I got my other male fixed he starts acting like my female is in heat which is impossible because she is fixed.
So any ideas why the sudden onset?
I've kept him crated part of the day to give her a break but the moment I let him out he is all over her?
7 AnswersDogs1 decade agoDeafness a common trait in the American Pit Bull Terrier?
Okay so I feel i should know the answer to this but I don't as I'm asking.
Is deafness a common trait in APBT? I currently own one very amazing deaf APBT and it seems that I've meet few others here in town who are deaf.
Is it a breed problem or do they just run a higher risk of deafness due to the fact that the white markings seem to be seen more often in the breed?

So we got a new dog in at the shelter a few days ago. This little girl is seven months old and is part rot we do believe.

8 AnswersDogs1 decade agoIs it legal for our landlord to remove a residents front door?
I am asking if it is legal for our landlord to take off my neighbors front door? Our neighbor has his three dogs and our landlord removed his from door from his house and hid it in an attempt to make him move out. He was given a three day verbal warning to move but did not get all his stuff out and so our landlord removed this mans front door as well as his backdoor and destroyed the back pouch and last but not least turned off the mans gas and power! so the man could not let his dogs out. Also he wants to charge us an extra 50 dollars a month for having a fish tank and a pair of bearded dragons....
How or what about any of this is legal?

3 AnswersDogs1 decade agoHelp with Training a deaf dog? Personal experiences?
So recently I have obtained a deaf little pup.
So far we've been doing well with him...only a few problems I'm having and I'm looking for some personal experiences?
Potty training? He does well he will go out side and potty but how do you correct him i her goes in the house..see's ow he can't really hear us tell him no?
Teaching him to not play so ruff? He can't hear us say ow or the other dogs yelp so how would your correct that?
also what kinda of sun screen would be safe to use on his little white face and feet this summer? He is white with pink skin so I'd would think it would be necessary to put something on him?
6 AnswersDogs1 decade agoWhite faced dog..Could he be deaf?
Recently i've added a new little pit bull to my home. (grand total of Four dogs). We are kind of worried he is deaf? He never looks or reacts to noise unless one of the other dogs do. When he was sleeping he tried a squeaky toy as well as a clapping and he did not even budge, Could he just have selective hearing or possible deaf. Is there a test our there to test this?

7 AnswersDogs1 decade agoWhy won't he gain weight?
ok so about six months ago i got a unaltered two year old American Pit Bull Terrier....He was skinny when we got him so I fattened him up however he did not gain much weight maybe 5-6 pounds. The people i got him from said that he had always been skinny. Is it possible that he just has a fast acting metabolism and he looses weight just as fast as he puts it on?

1 AnswerCredit1 decade agoWhat Could it be? (knee Problem)?
My female pit bull has really bad hips and knees our vet has her on joint medication. Well this morning we woke up and she is holding her hind leg. When you try to move and work her hip as our vet suggested when she gets stuff like this you can feel and see her knee pop in and out. What could she have done and how much is it to fix. I am asking this so i can kinda maybe have an idea when she goes to the vet tommrow. Or even if this is something we should not wait on and get her in as an emergency today?

5 AnswersDogs1 decade agoHELP! New dog won't stop going into fits every time we leave.?
ok so i got a new pit bull about 3 days ago. He had lived most of his life chained up in someones backyard no attetion just kinda left alone. The ex-owner told me he was a good dog..which he is we love him to death but he has one problem.
Everytime my boyfriend or i leave his sight he goes in to a crying bawling frenzy, he sounds like he is hurt the way he cries and we don't know how to stop it....if we even just go around the corner he cries and cries.

7 AnswersDogs1 decade agoCat Spraying Everything!?
So we adopted a male cat from animal control 2 months ago. He was a great cat went in the litter box everything. Now two months later he has started spraying our walls the beds. We don't know why, animal control told us he was fixed, we can't see any thing under him so we are assuming he was. Why though after two months would he start doing this? We keep his litter box cleaned and he knows where it's all but has all the sudden stopped using it. I'd hate to have to get rid of him if it's something we are doing wrong.
5 AnswersCats1 decade agoIt should be illegal?
Ok so here it is common to see dogs in the back of people trucks. However im starting to notice more and more people putting thier dogs on the backs of their FLATBED trucks..i mean i saw a guy with his 3 month old puppy today he had it riding around on the back of his welding truck. A little puppy like that could easily get hurt that way.
While it should be illegal to have dogs in the bed of your truck....don't you guys agree putting dogs on a flatbed should be considered animal endangerment or something?
for those of you who might not know what a flatbed is

3 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoIs it worth a try? (dog Training)?
As I stated in another question I am really interested in learning more about do training after i graduate may 26th. Due to where i live I don't really have the option of meeting other dog trainers and have really no idea how to get my foot in the door to learning. So I found a program it's done both online and in real life. at the end of the 4-5 months i get to take a test and get a certification.
What I'm asking is, could the be a step in right direction to learning more about training dogs?
Here is the curriculum--
