I have been trying to find a pic of one on internet but can't seem to find one. I think these dogs are really neat looking but I don't think the breed is well known yet....Linda in Texas Hey Jonathan I seen one of those in Leavonworth, Ks.

We got him from a "no pit" shelter at about 18 months, a vet later told us he is part pit. He is now about 10 yrs old. He is the best dog ever!! We have had two kids since we got him, as well as, two cats. He was protective of our children when they were babies. No one could come near them without permission(He never uses his strength just his size). He LOVES cats, often we find them cuddled together. All of them, even neighborhood cats wandering through our yard. Alot of mothering qualities in him. I can stick my hand in his food dish while he's eating. Even when we rough house he is sooo careful. The only thing he is aggressive towards is squirrels, he's caught a couple of the slower guys. He is truly a gentle giant.

I have a 9 yr old pure female pit who has always been a sweetheart. She does bark at people on the other side of the gate but once I open it she stops. If all Pits were like her there would never be bad ones. I also have a 5 yr old that I have had since he was 5 weeks old. The guy that I got him from told me he was Pit and Bull Mastiff. As a puppy he did look like it. I took him to the vet only to discover that he wasn't that at all. Turns out he was Pit, Akita and Chow. Well thats a combination. He too is a sweetheart, but is protective with me. He really watches people around me. He is not a threat except when my grown son plays ruff with him. I think if it was taken to the fullest extent he could possiblely cross the line. I dont allow that type of play and I have had to come down on my son when he has done it. If he is treated with love and respect you couldnt find a nicer dog. He does like to chase cats though which I nipped in the bud as soon as he makes the move. I have a new member to my dog family, a little 4 month old girl Boxer who this she can take on the world. My dogs are everything to me and loved so much. Thanks for letting me share.

Now cupcake my full pit is always supervised. and she gets put up when i am busy or have to leave home. she fights to the death and i haveseen her snap for no reason....she is unbeleivably loving to me and to people i let her know are allowed to be here. a great people dog. if i were not in the rescue/charity biz and i was only allowed 1 pet. it would be a pitbull rescue. an older one as they are the most dumped dog there is. i found cuppy at 6+ years old and she loes the heck outta me! very much my girl!...all of my pitties are different and all are special! all have issues, but, well, so do i! :) I have 3 pit mixes, Turbo, Moose, and Lil bear…and a full blood pittie…cupcake! love em! they are great dogs, but from much experience most pits even mixes do not do well with other pets. my exception is moose. he is a hugh 90 pound pit/chocolate lab mix…thank God he has a lab attitude cuz he is just pure muscle and has the big pt jaw and teeth. he has been housed with his best friend Black jack. a 50 pound lab/blue heeler mix for about 3 1/2 years. i separate when they eat…BUt they have never had a problem. this is extra lucky since they are both boys. i had black jack first…i dont know what made me think they would be great yard mates…but i was right. they are very rowdie, and share a huge 1/2 acre fenced in yard. they each have an extra large igloo, and as fcar as toys moose enjoys stuffed animals, and black jack is all about tennis balls. funny, but they dont alternate toys so there has never been a toy issue. i went outside one day and black jack had a quarter size bite out of his side. i could tell it was a bite, BUT e=actually this was good??>>>> because it told me that moose does not fight like a pit. wehatever made him mad he felt the need to bite, but he did just once….maybe black jack deserved it. i dont know, but i pay a lot of attention and they seem to be bff’s….now on the other hand Turbo has to be housed alone. he does not play nice with other dogs. period! i have tried to let him play with a dog he seemed to want to be friends with, and always a scrap ended up happening. one of them would try and hump the other or whatever and boom a fight. now he does not fight like a ppit either. easy to break up fight, but he never let the grudge go. and he hates the other 2 dogs he once scrapped with. they r never together…i dont like everyone so how can i expect him too! :) …..Lil bear is only 5 moths old, unfortunately i see the pit fight attitude in him. he is little now so it is important for himto socialize with all the animals here, but i know already that when he gets about 8 months old when i leave he will have to be kenneled or put in his won yard…..if you pay attention it isnt hard to figure out.

BUT withy people...i think pits are the perfect pet. especially cuz you have kids who are a bit older being that you would not be getting the dog as a baby....nobody can guarantee anything, BUT i bet you once you took this beagle baby home you would not even regret it! super playful, unbelievably lovable...my one full blooded pit "cupcake" goes on errands with "momma". she listens when i tellher to stay up front when something is being loaded, and when i drive she sits in the front passenger seat (her choice) and she will flip my arm so i am always hugging her...she needs momma to touch her..super loving. probably more than i have even been loved before...AND I TOOK HER AT 6+ YEARS OLD. KNEW NOTHING ABOUT HER PAST. i found her on the side of the road. she had been hit by a car. maybe she knows i saved her? i dont know, but to me she is the Godsend! i love my girl! (but as i said above).....not good and not to ever be left with other pets without 100% supervision). she is animal aggressive and jealous. sometimes the instigator, sometimes not...but she has had fights and they never end up good. she never killed another animal, but she would have if i had not broken the fight up. BIG point. i had to literally beat the shit out of her to get her to let my other dog go... i punched, kicked, and yelled...and she never ever puffed up, or even growled at me. nor did she have any bad feelings afterward. when she gets in trouble she feels awful. i can ffel that. BUT i know in my heart she will never be "other pet friendly or safe." kids, heck yea, she is such a lover.my friend slept over one night and she was afraid of my cupcake. i told her not to be and had cupcake play ball with her for a while. anywho, my buddy slept on the couch, and told me in the am that cupcake brought her the tennis ball many times during the night, and was sweet as can be when she got up to use the rest room.as long as you let them know that visitors are welcome, they are ok...but tell your guests to leave all their own pets at home! God bless. and i hope you gie beagle baby a chance. so many pits and pit mixes are overlooked, and end up destrohyed cuz they are misunderstood! hi sarah, pit bulls get a bum rap. i have a small no-kill shelter in pattison, texas. i have 3 pit mixes and they are all amazing. i swear not a one of them would propbably bat an eye if they had to defend me. pits are super loving, super loyal, and great protectors…*** the only thing i would caution on is pits with other pets…including cats….in a perfect pit household…the pit would be the only pet. not cuz they are monsters, but because uif they do get in a scrap…something is gonna get hurt or worse. they dont give up a fight. and they never back down…at least i have not seen that. many times the fight wasnt even their fault./ but in the end…who cares which oet has the fault…
