Heartman Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I have a Pittbull/Boxer mix. Got him at the dog pound when he was about 3 months old and he's now 14 y/o. Best dog I've ever had and I've had dogs all my life. In my opinion the best thing you can do for a dog is take them for a walk every day. Have fun with the new friend FH!

GreenDoberman Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 You are a moron if you get a pitbull. Having said that, if I ever got one his name would be Mr. Worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCD Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I have a pit/black and tan coonhound and a pit/mastiff. If you're getting a pit /Akita then you need to be very on top of the the training because the Akita part won't be wanting to listen and you need to socialize the puppy a lot, especially in the first 16 weeks (lots of kid time).

LCD Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Probably not but FH you should study a little bit to know what you are doing if you are not a dog person. I had a friend who had an Akita (it ended up being 150) and he came home after work one day when the puppy was six months old and it had eaten his couch (well the part that was edible, the other part was destroyed). I know a lot of Akita owners who never let their dogs off the leash, ever. And a picture is worth a thousand words and what I would say based on your photo is you are going to have a very confident dog. The dog in the front in that picture better have an owner who knows what the fuck they are doing because the stance, the positioning relative to the other dogs, the targeting including the ears, that's one very dominant fucking puppy. It's going to grow up to be a gigantic pitbull with the add-on genes of a willful, independent dog that was bred to fight bears. Both pits and Akitas are good with kids but you need to introduce the puppy to a large number of children. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boatboatboat Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 FH discussed getting himself classified as needing companion dog. Meaning dog would be able to go with him to places such as bingo and casino. FH would simply if asked have to show proof his physician/shrink deemed him as needing the companion to properly function. Will be only dog in world bearding wagers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FISHHEAD Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 If abused and/or not properly trained on early in life they can be at either end of the spectrum, wimps or extremely ferocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. They are terriers which is why they are so crazy. I don't think they are any different than any other dog. But they are hunting dogs and like to attack so are natural fighters and have those powerful jaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be only dog in world bearding wagers.You won't have to show anything. If asked, you just have to confirm that it is a service dog. And possibly what type of service it performs. Buy a service dog in training vest and start taking the dog out in public everywhere after the first fear period. So after 10 weeks. And you need to be the one training the dog. This is not a golden retriever. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Call Heads Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 If you are going to have them, I definitely recommend making sure they get exercise because they will be nuts without it. Once they get a good workout, they settle down a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
