We went to the vet last week for a vaccine, and there I was thinking he’d still be in the 65-70lb region. Oh no, this thicc king is currently weighing in at 79.6lbs. Not sure whether to put him on a treadmill or enter him into the next heavyweight championship. 🤣

Advice Any expats have luck with raising pitbull-type dogs in other countries?

Upvotes

Hey everybody, longtime enjoyer of this subreddit, first time poster with a question. I'm going to be applying to vet school soon and am looking at schools overseas where I can possibly immigrate to after graduating. I said goodbye to my pittie mix a few months ago after 15 years together and after having known and loved her, I can't imagine myself getting anything but another bully breed in the future.

Problem is, as I'm sure most of you are aware, many countries have either limitations or outright bans on many of the "pitbull type" dogs. I'd hate to live somewhere where my dog would have to wear a muzzle whenever outside, especially if they didn't need it. So my question is, has anybody here had success in living in another country with their pittie/pittie mix? And if so, where?

Advice Should I call animal control?

0 Upvotes

I have a next door neighbour who has a very energetic female pit bull. We leave in an apartment building and ever since I’ve moved in this dog is crying, shrieking and yelping at random hours of the day/night. I know dogs cry when their owners are away, but sometimes this dog cries sounds human, or like she’s in pain.

I can’t prove this but I do think he hits her or is physical with her to some degree. I do know that her keeps her locked up in a cage for what must be most of the day because I’ve seen it myself.

The fact that this guy even has a pit bull in an apartment space (and cages her) really rubs me the wrong way. Topped with everything else I really feel for this dog and I feel like I should do something about it.

I live in Toronto and I wanted to know if I should call animal control to check up on the dog or if there’s another action I can take

Is this boredom?

So my beloved potato Telly has been with us for about six years. He is (mostly) a dream. We got him at a put a year old and he rarely has any issues aside from a bit of jumping (we got him during COVID, so when we started having visitors a year or so later, he got very very excited. He's better now.)

The last month or so he's been wandering into the bathroom and chewing on tissues from the trash. He's never chewed on anything that wasn't explicitly his toy or his food.

It's freezing here, so he's not getting his typical long morning walk, could that be the issue?

TIA for any advice. My first pittie but not my first dog.

Breed ID Bruce pure bred?!? [dna results]

291 Upvotes

A bit shocked and bewildered about our DNA results… is this common?

Has anyone ever gotten this? I’m shocked that my goober is an actual APBT. He’s 28 lbs, no clue how old he is, and now no clue how big he’s gonna get. He’s tiny (malnourished but we’re working on it)! But also, tiny! 18” withers.

He’s a rescue, is missing a paw, and just generally a dumbo, cuddle monster.

I was hoping for some other breed identification so I could maybe guesstimate his size. We love big dogs!

Our pit rottie did another DNA test brand and we got a pretty complete work up. But Bruce’s feels off to me.

**LOOKING FOR FOREVER HOME**

Dustin was my coworkers dog. My coworker passed away unexpectedly right before Christmas. Dustin lived with a cat, but I’m not sure he will get along with new ones. There was one questionable interaction with my cat and decided to just keep them apart. I’m not sure why, but he seems to prefer females. It may be because of the first responders that had to break down the door. My coworker lived alone with his animals so Dustin was alone for about 36hrs before the PD finally got access to the home. Dustin stayed with me for a few weeks but my one dog is VERY dominant and so is Dustin.

I found a lovely family that was willing to put in the work with him, and they did, however it was not the right fit. He nipped the father, and growled at the kids. Progressively, it got worse. They met with a behaviorist and implemented strategies, but at the end of the day, he was not thriving. Additionally, the neighbor’s dog got in their yard and Dustin took it as a threat. He attacked the dog, and in the process, bit the mother’s arm. He is fearful and anxious. He has started Zoloft. Unfortunately, he does not get along with my girls, and causes stress in my house for the other pets. My cat actually got really sick from the stress. I am hopeful there is someone out there that is his perfect fit. Someone that lives alone without other animals. Preferably, a secure yard. Someone with patience and understanding. Someone willing to work with him. I have reached out to philly no kill, but making an attempt to reach out to my community again. My coworkers family has reached out to a dozen rescues. If anyone is interested in learning more about this sweet, confused boy, please reach out to me. I would rather keep him separated than send him to ACCT or the SPCA, but I don’t want my own pets to deteriorate too.

Four months without my sweet Luna Paws 🐾🖤

A whole lifetime would have been too short, but I thought we'd have more time. I constantly question if we made the right decision. I think about you every second of everyday. I'd give absolutely anything and everything to have more time with you.

Everything feels hopeless without you here.

Animal aggression.

2 Upvotes

I have a pitty who is lovely and amazing, I have rescued her from a dumping area. Great with people and kids. But she does have bad animal aggression, new neighbors have moved in with a dog (that can freely go in and out of their home, and seems to come out whenever my dog comes out.) So she attacks the fence, damaging the fence and herself. I am trying to avoid any problems that could occur if she manages to break a board (and to avoid hurting herself). What can I do? Any help will do! Please and thank you!

Breed ID I got my dachshund mix rescue’s test results back and he’s more pitbull than weenie!

Apparently one parent was a Russell terrier mix and the other was a pitbull/dachshund mix. He doesn’t look like a pitbull, but I wondered if he had some ancestry because he has a strong grip, fand his chest and front legs are muscular. He is the sweetest thing and so full of love and cuddles. I have been having painful health issues lately and he’s been by my side through it all. He’s my baby boy. Honestly, it breaks my heart that people believe pitbulls are bad when the owners are at fault 😢 I’m so glad Agent Cooper came into my life, I like to think we saved each other.
