Team Sundown's Charles Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I say get your self a Staff. Pits are great dogs but not for everyone. They need more attn. becuase of there high prey drive. Staffs are better around other animals and are easier to soicalize then a game bred Pit. But do your homework!!! American bulldog and Staff where bred as show dogs. So they where mainly bred for looks. This type of breedings leads to health problems down the road. Buy your pup from a good breeder. Make sure the Stud and the bitch both have had there hipps check. The breeder should have a cert. from the Vet that says they have been check and have a rating of good to excellent. Like most large dog Am.staff and Am. bulldogs sometime have problem with Hip displaquia(sp) and Breathing problem so be sure to get a heath cert from your breeder. Pits really don't have these problem because they have been bred for performace not looks. But like I said they are alittle more work then your avg dog. These porblems may not show up right now but will come with age. This stuff is gentic so if you do your homework on the parent it will save you alot of time & money in the long run. If you need I can get you a list of peolpe that sell Staff and Pits.

BASS14 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have always been interested in a newfoundland but have heard they have a short life span, typical of some larger dogs. Whats your experience with them and life span? we had 1 that was 6 when he got hit by a car and we had to give him away cause we couldnt afford the surgery to fix his busted leg!! and the 2 we have now the girl is 7yrs old and the boy is i think he is 2-3....they are big pains in the ass but i love em to death.....but the pyrenees that we have is 9 comming up on 10 and he still going strong....just a kinda bad hip....but other than that healthy as an ox!!

Torres Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 dno about security...but a husky is a damn beautiful dog. i've wanted one for years. i want a dobermann also. i think they'd be good for security. i was at a house once...and this guy had 2 dobies, and on the fence the sign had a pic of a dobermann and said 'they can make it to the fence in 2.5 seconds...can you?' haha it was neat. they are intimidating lookin imo but his were nice when he was around. i went to the back door when he was downstairs and outside and DAMN those things were snortin like horses at the door wonderin who was comin. so...i shut it and went downstairs. lol.

4dabetta Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 What yall think about one of these? Price seems resonable..I just dont wanna get ripped off and I know yall can help me out with this.... http://neworleans.kijiji.com/c-Pets-Dogs-p...QQAdIdZ42559517 They look pretty cool but make sure you do your home work for real. Find out how much they want full price not just deposit then find out as much as you can on the bloodline just to make sure that its a real creditable bloodline some people just make up names, the way i did mine was just typing some of the dogs that were in my pups bloodline on the google search and a lot came up through there or through the ADBA.Check out the owners background and how many times they have breed there dogs as well.You also want to check out any other litters they have because 9 times outta 10 that whats the puppy is going to look like.Hope this help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
