So friday night I ended up getting a gorgeous blue pit bull puppy. 10 weeks old. Came with a big kennel for her, toys, food, everything. I've had dogs all my life. I grew up around dobies, I personally had a german shephard/pit bull mix, siberian husky, and a rottweiler.
I've never owned a pure bred pit bull. I got her for free, the people who had her found out they were pregnant and decided they didnt want to raise a puppy and a baby, so they were giving her away, I quickly jumped at that opportunity. I miss having a dog. I left my huskie in wisconsin with my ex because I didnt want to put him through the stress of another flight.
So any owners out there that has any advice? I know that Pit Bulls are dog-aggressive. How can this be broken? I dont want her to start fights, and I know most pit bulls arent instigators, but I dont want to her to cower away either.
I plan on socializing her a lot, and getting her into obedience classes. Right now she's staying with me at my girlfriends house. She has a 90lb rottie, and a 79lb Greyhound/Great Dane mix. She got put in her place by the great dane pretty quickly. She now submits to him after getting attacked and bit on the ear. Before that happened, if he pissed her off she would go full force at him ferociously.
Any tips, I know the falsely accused pit bull reputation, and I know it's not true. I just want a dog that I can take along wherever I can go, and isnt going to instigate fights. My girlfriend and I take her dogs to the beach all the time, and they are off leash trained.
