Comment to American Pit Bull - Pros & Cons
-
[quote1292309113=IndyGirl] My priorities: needs to be child friendly, a home guard dog,gets along with an old choc labrador retriever, loyal to owner & immediate family. And, one that does not shed very much is an enormous bonus. I appreciate your insight and time. Regards, IndyGirl [/quote1292309113] Regarding child friendly- I would not recommend a young child in a house with a pit bull. Regarding a home guard dog- Excellent guard dog. It's an intruder's worse nightmare. Regarding being raised with a choc lab retriever- Pit bulls have to be raised with the dog they are living with from babies still there is no guarantee they will get along. The difference between a pit bull and most other breeds that don't get along a pit bull has the tenacity and will to never give up in anything it does. If your two dogs fight there will be serious damage to your other dog. Regarding loyalty to family and owner- Excellent loyalty. Regarding shedding- They have very short hair they shed lightly. As a result they also do best in warmer climates.
