my experience with pits.....

[FORGETMENOTPETS]

Phaewryn and all, Well I have been doing dog and until recently pit rescue for 20 some years. I am afraid I do not agree. I had a pit from weaning till 4 1/2 years and she "turned" or developed sudden rage. A beloved indoor family fully vetted dog became a killer in 6 months. I also have a foster who was attacked by her own pit with injuries including 26 staples in her head. Also from a dog with sudden rage syndrome. Never no matter how long you have them trust a pit completely. They were born and bred to kill and that is what they do best. My pit Judas used to help me potty bottle baby kittens,. then started chewing up pups. When you get yours checked please include a test for lyme and thyroid.....another major cause of aggression in pits and other breeds of dogs. A rescued pit needs lots of training love patience and RESPECT. I  have only read a few of these emails we had petco adoptions all weekend but good luck with the pit. BY THE WAY ALL I PLACE A FIV POSITIVE CAT TODAY WHO WILL HAVE A FIV BUDDY TO HANG WITH. KAREN
