Welcome to the Dog Thread for the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
This thread is to celebrate the joy our dogs bring us. To those who disagree or take offense with this class of dogs, there are other threads to debate such topics.
Now, onto the introductions!
*******************************************
DH and I have previously fostered and our two babies are rescues.
Introducing China (5):
We adopted China shortly before our wedding. I was not educated about the breed but fell in love with China immediately and all of my issues were quickly resolved with big bully kisses. She was a plea deal dog and the criminal that abused her had to give up his rights to her. Thank God! She is an amazingly sweet animal. All that is needed for discipline is a quick look of disappointment. She is a dollbaby.
With her Blocky Dogs collar!
Introducing Houdini (3):
Houdini was a puppy when we adopted him. NEVER AGAIN. I just have to say I absolutely detest puppies and won't get one again. He was 12 weeks old when we brought him home and he finally gets the potty training thing about two months ago (at 1.5 years!) He was not named due to some great ability to escape from anything. In fact, he is quite the opposite. He is awkward and clumsy. We believe this can be attributed to the fact he has lab in him. But don't worry, I am used to it. I grew up with four labs. We love him just the same. He was named Houdini because my husband didn't know a thing about pit bulls other than the news media's portrayal of a vicious dog. Then his soon-to-be best friend had a pit named Houdini who stole his heart immediately. So our Houdini was named after a great dog, Houdini, Sr., who would give "Marley and Me" a run for his money.
As a puppy
And the pups with my DH:
When we had our foster, Jasmine:
Can't wait to see photos and stories about your bully breeds!
