Any Pitbull owners here?

As far as picking one out..depends on the age group. I will never get one younger than 7 months old. AWSMITH ^ made a good point about their attitudes. Be mindful if they are head shy. If you get a blue pit, pay VERY close attention to it's skin. Watch out for bumps. That can become a very costly issue. (PM me if that ever occurs). Oh, and be mindful about putting two male dogs together. I did, thank God it worked out.

I have an approx. 10 month old (blue) Staffordshire, and a 2 year old (Blue) Cane Corso.
My ex girlfriend had a pitbull that we got at 6 weeks old. That was a nightmare.

Best thing I can say, always have something for him to chew on. Don't give him to many rawhides, because it "can" make them have serious gas and throw up. Exercise is KEY. A tired dog is a good dog in my opinion.

As far as the pitbull breed, I will never own anything other than. Very protective dogs,and just great dogs all around, at least mine are.

Good advice.

If buying from a breeder, buy from one who raises family pets, not fighting dogs. Definetely don't want a dog who's head shy or nervous. If adpoting, spend some time with the dog, introduce your dog to them and see how they get along before committing. Have the dogs meet outside first before bringing the new dog inside.
