I just adopted a puppy pit bull from a local shelter and she is so fat and precious! I have been doing a lot of research since then about raising pit bulls.
But I wanted to ask everyone here about their personal experience with pit bulls.
Most people have the impression that pit bulls are aggressive but since I am raising her when she is a puppy I don’t think it should be a problem right?
How are pit bulls with other dogs? (I also have a Chihuahua.)
Here’s the deal with pit bulls. They are great dogs for people who know their personalities and their needs, both the specific dog and their breed in general. So keep researching. The thing with them is dominance. As long as you maintain your dominance over that dog (even during play), she will be the best animal you have ever had. She will not bite you and she will not be aggressive just because she is a pit bull. Pit bulls are loyal people lovers when they are treated with respect and understanding. If you want a vicious guard dog, try a German Shepherd. A Pit Bull just doesn’t have those characteristics, contrary to popular belief. All dogs have a tendency to test their owners dominance from time to time, especially puppies, and sometimes if overexcited they can forget their manners and get chompy or otherwise become a nuisance. As long as you keep her under control and do not allow her to dominate you, she will be a loving companion. Pit bulls are not vicious dogs, just misunderstood. Read up on their personality and temperament, and arm yourself with the correct knowledge. And do NOT leave her home alone with your other dog.
