I first want to say thanks to any and all the people here for any help I have gotten. I have a 7month old beagle and he is doing great, currently going through a 12 week off leash training program.
I am thinking about getting another dog when I move into a house in November. I have been researching Pitbulls recently and I really want to give the breed a chance. I feel bad that they are so misrepresented and abused. However, finding legit information about the breed is very hard online. So I have a few questions:
1. I know that pitbulls can and usually will be dog aggressive. We(gf and I) are planning to keep the beagle at her apt and the pit at my house. Then we will socialize the pitbull puppy and the beagle in short and repeated sessions. I am unreasonable in thinking I can keep the two?
2. Many advise to adapt, but I have some concerns. I am worried that many of these dogs could have tempremental issues. We would go to the shelter and spend time with him on multiple occasions, but I am still worried about it. I much rather have a puppy that I can condition and socialize while young.
3. Resources? What are some legit resources on the web I can go to? What about some good pitbull books?
Thanks again! I'm sure I will think of more, but this is it for now.
