Just curious.

I have one that I guess you can say I'm fostering. Took 2 weeks of me feeding him in his cage before he would let me touch him. He would try and eat me through his cage. A VERY scary thing. A big angry pitbull is a very dangerous looking animal..let me tell you...

Then
he was, and is, a big baby for me. But with other people I don't trust him at all. There is only a few people that can handle him and with those people he is very loving and affectionate. Aside from having too much energy(because he has to be kept in a kennel alot he is a very good dog for me. I think he has potential to be a very well trained dog. I've never had the chance to be around and experience a dog like this. Its a very cool experience that kinda feels like handling a tiger sometimes. I have to stress how much of a baby he is towards me. If I yell at him, or pick up a stick because I'm mad at him, he will roll over on his belly. Every time. Big teethed baby.lol


Might post a picture later of him.

He was abused.. That's so sad. He wouldn't be aggressive towards you otherwise. He was probably put in dog fights as well.

Actually, I know for a fact he wasn't. He was well taken care of. He was a baby with his previous owner as well. And by the way, when I talked about picking up a stick in anger, this is a big dog.He's got teeth like a fucking Great White shark. I kept a short metal pole in hand at all times when I first started to handle him.

My son just got a 4 year old blue. very friendly dog unless your playing rough with the grand kids. lol didn't even think about when I grabed the little one and gave her a toss. she squealed and the dog was right in the middle. I have one that will eat anyone that comes in the house. he was abused. He is great with us and my sons family.

My bad. I thought he was a rescue. Usually animals will only "try and eat you through a cage" if they were in dog fights. Or abused and hated humans.

I think you might be watching after an American bully instead of an American pitbull terrier, due to the fact you say big dog. Real apbt are medium or smaller dogs. Nothin over 65 lbs, not like it matters they are still awesome pets, just wanted to clarify. I love my pitbull :)

I got 2 pit mixes. One pit/sheperd an one pit/lab.

Both rescued.

I just found a 6 foot tunnel the sheperd mix dug under my backyard foundation. She likes to hunt for mice or whatever else is back there. The other one just sleeps on the couch.

Sure does.. Haha that pic brought back memories of when snoop was a pup.. He's a 94 pound teddy bear now. Solid build but a big baby. Akasha is 82 lbs. we had to put her on a diet man she was getting plump.. She was 90 lbs also but a chunky 90. Now she looks awesome ! By the way are both of you females eyes blue or just 1 like snoops?
