Don't be so sure wendy. Everyone I showed pics of the dog I found said 'pit', but then the vet and pit rescue said he was NOT a pit. Does this dog act aggressive toward your other dogs? Does he chase the cats?twendy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: P.S. We are absolutely sure she's a Pit Bull.

Rotties need to be raised with care and respect, but I feel more comfortable around one I've just met because, (at least for me), they are easier to read than Dobbies. Their facial expressions and body language signal what's going on in their heads and give more of an indication of their

Oh, I understand about that "cool stare". People would cross the street to avoid us when I was out walking her. She was still scary looking even with her uncropped ears, big belly, and genetically caused near baldness. I would never approach a strange dobe with that focused stare... Missing
